point to get a variety of foods I knew were beneficial to both myself and my baby. My eating was not perfect, but I know I did the best I could considering my educational background and knowledge. Below is a list of some foods to incorporate if you are pregnant or trying to conceive: •  Pasture-raised Liver •  Grass-fed beef (this way you know it contains the vitamins and minerals needed) •  Butter (grass-fed or raw from a local farm) •  Animal fats •  Tropical fats •  Organic veggies and fruits (low in toxins) •  Cod liver oil •  Sardines •  Bone Broth •  Gluten-free grains Here are some foods to avoid during pregnancy: • High Fructose Corn Syrup • Alcohol • Caffeine • Raw fish • Undercooked poultry or red meat • Nitrite • Soy • Artificial sweeteners hen it comes to prenatal nutrition and exercise, along with labor and delivery, we may not all journey the same path. What works for me may not work for everyone. It was not a single person or resource of information that helped me. It was many that helped in my pregnancy journey including the “going with my gut” instinct. In sharing my holistic approach with you, hopefully you will walk away with something to help you and your baby thrive.
