The First 1,000 Days
The first 1000 days of life, spanning from preconception through toddlerhood, is shaped heavily by maternal health and diet and are the most important for shaping a healthy foundation for the child. Adequate maternal nutrition is essential to a child's ability to grow, develop, and thrive. Studies show that exposure to adequate nutrition can trigger adaptations to the fetus and long-term health.
Maternal Health for the First 1,000 Days
Preconception
Prepare your body for pregnancy with tailored nutrition therapy to help support healthy egg quality, influence epigenetics, and increase chance of implantation success.
Pregnancy
Nutrition is paramount to growth and development during pregnancy, starting with fertilization. Specialized nutrition therapy during this time period can minimize pregnancy-related side effects, like nausea and constipation and can optimize pregnancy outcomes, like reduction in the risk of preeclampsia, Gestational Diabetes, and low birth weight.
Postpartum
Maternal recovery, mental health, and healthy milk supply are influenced by adequate nutrition postpartum. At Hope Nutrition LLC, we focus on meaningful postpartum recovery, rejecting the "bounce-back" culture and dispelling the myth that breastfeeding is synonymous with rapid weight loss.
