My Pregnancy Nutrition Toolkit:

These are the foods, supplements, and products I personally used throughout my fertility journey and pregnancy. At this time, none of these companies pay me to recommend their products. This page is simply a collection of resources that align with my philosophy of nutrient-dense, food-first nutrition.

Section 1: Foundational Foods

  • Eggs

  • Red meat

  • Raw dairy

  • Butter

  • Seafood

Section 2: Supplements I Personally Use

  • Cod liver oil: Essential for getting adequate vitamin A and building

  • Heart & Soil Beef Organs: Historically, as a species, we used to eat the organs of the animals we harvested. Organs from healthy, ruminant grazing animals are the most nutrient-dense, bioavailable source of nutrients that exists! Since the nutrients aren’t made in a lab, they are from a food source, so they are safe and highly beneficial to both mom and baby.

  • Magnesium: This is a blended magnesium; it’s gentle, well-sourced, and the benefits during pregnancy are boundless!

  • Catalyn: This is basically a multivitamin… but like, the high-quality, highly bioavailable, all-natural version.

  • AF Betafood: This, in combination with Phosfood, is the all-natural lifesaver combo I leaned heavily on during that first trimester nausea and food aversion. These supplements together provide much-needed support to the gallbladder and liver, which can ease many instances of food aversion or nausea.

  • Phosfood

  • Mineral Salt: Essential for a healthy pregnancy, mineral salt (or sea salt) should be applied to all meals (in whatever amount tastes best to you, of course) for minerals and electrolytes. I add a pinch or two of salt to my water bottle each time I fill it. Avoid iodized table salt; it is highly processed, offers nothing, and is total trash in my opinion.
