Fueling your body during pregnancy and beyond isn’t just about “eating for two” it’s about understanding your changing needs, honoring your body, and cutting through the myths that can make this season feel overwhelming.
In this episode, I’m joined by Anna Busenburg, RD, CSP, LD, CLC, a registered dietitian with the American Dairy Association Mideast who specializes in women’s health, pediatrics, and lactation.

Key nutrients many women miss (and why eating enough matters)
How calorie and hydration needs shift trimester by trimester
Practical strategies for common pregnancy challenges like nausea, food aversions, and fatigue
Postpartum recovery: fueling for healing, strength, and breastfeeding
Myth-busting on “eating for two,” caffeine, alcohol, and more
