231: The Most Important Supplements to T...

Dr. Mariza Snyder
About this episode

When you’re building a baby, your body needs extra support at ALL stages—from before conception to postpartum. While you may think a prenatal has you covered, taking that alone leaves some major gaps.

 

Tune in today to hear my specific recommendations for supplements to take in the months leading up to pregnancy, while you're pregnant, and after you deliver. Supporting your health with supplements is the best way to make sure you’re giving your baby the best start possible while protecting your health through the whole process!  

 

  • Why it’s SO important to take supplements while you’re trying to conceive, pregnant, and postpartum
  • The essential nutrients that are lacking from pretty much all prenatal vitamins
  • Which supplements to take during each stage of pregnancy from before you conceive to postpartum plus specific brands that I trust
