In this episode, K+L take a deep dive with registered dietitian and nutritionist Lily Nichols on all things fertility, conception, and nutrition. Nichols educates us on the importance of preconception preparation, highlighting how lifestyle changes such as diet and self-care can enhance fertility and lead to healthier pregnancies. 

Ahead, Lindsey and Lily open up about the realities of postpartum challenges, loneliness, and the unspeakable value of friendships that empathize with your current life stage. Plus, Nichols sheds light on the root cause of fertility issues in contemporary society, from stress to diet culture.

Understand the profound impact that eating well, practicing mindfulness, and strategically gearing up for pregnancy can have on both mother and child. 

We also talk about:

  • Treating your body like a ‘bank account’ before pregnancy
  • The psychological facets of preconception + pregnancy
  • Nonstick cookware + recommendations for healthier options
  • Regulating the menstrual cycle for optimal fertility
  • Effects of EMFs + microplastics on health
  • Diet culture’s impact on hormone balance + ovulation
  • Comprehensive prenatal supplementation
  • Raw dairy consumption during pregnancy
  • Avoiding environmental toxins + using whole foods
  • Postpartum recovery, nutrition, + community
