44. Lily Nichols: Role of Seafood and DHA in Optimal Breastfeeding, Pregnancy & Post Partum

Regenerative Health with Max Gulhane, MD

Lily Nichols joins me to continue our exploration of optimal pregnancy and post-partum nutrition. This episode contains extremely valuable information on how to ensure your baby receives all the nutrients they need to thrive.
We cover controversies surrounding seafood and raw fish consumption during pregnancy, the critical role of DHA, circadian rhythms & breastfeeding, harms of a high omega-6 diet on baby's brain development, iron status in pregnancy and MUCH more.
Lily Nichols RDN is a registered dietitian, pregnancy nutrition expert and author of the book Real Food for Pregnancy. I previously spoke to Lily in episode 16 of the Regenerative Health podcast where we covered micronutrients for pregnancy, carbohydrate intake and gestational diabetes and how various national guidelines are harming women with carbohydrate recommendations in pregnancy.
