Spoil Your Baby

• Pouring From a Full Cup feat. Stephanie Adler | #16

  Are You Pouring From a Full Cup?   On today’s episode of the “Spoil Your Baby” Podcast, Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum is joined by Hormone, Gut Health, and Fertility practitioner, Stephanie Adler.   If you look back to many ancient cultures throughout World History, you’ll find a common thread: human beings instinctively knew that women need to nourish themselves differently before, during, and after the pregnancy process. So much of our nutrients are being passed along to our babies, it makes sense that we should be nourishing ourselves accordingly. Yet, somewhere along the way, we’ve largely abandoned these practices… and it’s hurting women.   Stephanie Adler is a fountain of energy, joy, and knowledge, and her conversation with Dr. Kirshenbaum is absolutely can’t-miss for new or soon-to-be mothers. Ensuring that you are taking care of yourself and your body can feel overwhelming, but thanks to Stephanie’s incredible advice, it can actually be quite easy… and even enjoyable! By the end of their discussion you’ll have so much more knowledge on what to eat, and how to better set yourself up for success and nutrition in the long run.   Regardless of your struggles as a parent, one thing that is absolutely true: by listening to the “Spoil Your Baby” Podcast, you’re already choosing to improve yourself, to create space, and to grow as a parent.
