This story is a reflection of my personal journey with negative body image, how it impacted my experience of pregnancy and becoming a new mother, and how I have learned from it and hope to bring awareness to the subject.

My belief is that if we are all unique individuals in this life, then our nutrition should reflect our uniqueness. It should be tailored to our individual tastes, lifestyle, vitamin and mineral status, constitution, body, mind, and soul. With copious (and often conflicting) information out there, how do we know what we should actually be eating for the best health outcome for our bodies and our growing baby’s development?
