  • EP 350: Am I Taking the Right Prenatal Vitamin? with Ryan Woodbury
    Oct 14 2024

    Have you ever wondered what to look for in a prenatal? Ryan Woodbury is the cofounder of Needed, an amazing company that is changing the prenatal game. She answers all of your questions this episode about what to look for in a prenatal, what to avoid, and what to add in supplementation.
    Through navigating her fertility and nutrition journey, she realized most prenatal nutrition information and products fall far short of empowering real nourishment for mamas-to-be. Needed empowers women to meet their biochemical nutritional needs, and to find nourishment beyond nutrition through better products, better identification of nutrition needs, education and community to support nourishment beyond nutritional needs alone.

  • EP 347: Combatting Reproductive Anxiety & Optimizing Pre-Pregnancy Health w/ Alexandria DeVito
    Sep 23 2024

    Not only is getting pregnant and having healthy children more
    difficult than it was for our parents’ generation, reproductive
    anxiety is also on the rise.

    Alexandria's approach to pre-pregnancy wellness is revolutionary. She
    suggests preparing for pregnancy with the same level of dedication and
    planning as one would for a wedding.

    Her book emphasizes that the steps taken to prepare the body and mind
    before conceiving can have a profound impact not only on fertility,
    but also on the lifelong health of the child. "9 Months Is Not Enough"
    serves as a comprehensive guide for individuals at any stage of their
    journey to parenthood, offering practical advice and empowering
    insights.

    In addition to writing the ultimate pre-pregnancy checklist,
    Alexandria is a functional nutritionist who specializes in fertility
    and preconception health. She is the founder and CEO of Poplin, the
    first pre-pregnancy wellness company, and holds an MBA from Harvard
    Business School, a master’s degree in nutrition, and has had extensive
    training as a doula, yoga teacher and personal trainer.
