“Pregnancy is a time of transformation, hope, expectation, and occasionally worry for women and their families. My role as a fertility-specialist naturopath is often to help women and couples prepare for pregnancy. It is my passion to ensure they feel well supported by nutrition, well informed about the impact of their lifestyle choices and environment on pregnancy outcomes, and empowered with education.

My purpose in crafting this comprehensive, evidence-based antenatal nutrition guide is to bridge the gap for you between outdated or limited pregnancy nutrition advice and newer, more sophisticated research. I cover the nuances of what to eat when pregnant and empower you with a nutrient-dense meal plan with delicious recipes that will keep you both satisfied and well-nourished at this important time.” - Tabitha McIntosh
