Carbs, Proteins, Fats, AND Enzymes with Dr. Jeanne Sandheinrich, DC, CACCP

Nutrition and proper diet are often a second thought for most people when it comes to health, including pregnant women. But Dr. Jeanne and I discuss the importance of healthy food intake, specifically addressing carbohydrates, proteins, fats, enzymes, AND the role stress plays in absorbing and using these nutrients.

• Don't be afraid of good Carbs or Fats, and eat LOTS of protein!
• Stress affects our digestion, so often enzymes are required so our bodies can use the macro-nutrients properly.
• We chat about the role each macro-nutrient plays in pregnancy and why they are all SO important. Examples include:
  • Fats help your gallbladder and breastmilk production
  • Carbohydrates give you energy
  • Protein helps prevent pre-eclampsia and other pregnancy problems
• We share lots of little personal stories about our and our clients' experiences with healthy eating changes.
