Nutritionally, you’ll receive the latest evidence-based recommendations for how much and what foods will support you throughout each trimester during and after pregnancy. We will talk about navigating mom life and managing the new stresses that enter our lives when we find out we are pregnant and have littles running around, and tips to find joy and thrive in the midst of them.

07-How Cold Water Can Help You Think More Clearly, Decrease Stress, and Improve Mental Resilience
Can you remember the last time you were really, really cold? I bet not, because it's the middle of summer. Unless you've voluntarily chosen to jump in the ocean or an ice bath recently, you've probably been staying relatively hot like the rest of us.
Today, Kelsey is going to explain evidence-based studies that show why voluntarily (yes, you're choosing to do this!) putting yourself in cold water is going to positively affect your immune function, focus, stress levels, and performance. She'll review some of the current research on the topic, and give you some practical ways of how and when it's best to implement cold water immersion so you can gain all of these amazing benefits. Don't miss this episode!
