“Guest Interview – Lily Nichols on Postpartum Nutrition”
In this episode, Laura sits down with Lily Nichols to tackle your postpartum nutrition questions! From eating for milk supply and which macronutrients are most important postpartum, to intermittent fasting and supporting our bodies through weaning. This episode is loaded with insight! Don’t miss it .
Lily Nichols is a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Educator, researcher, and author with a passion for evidence-based prenatal nutrition and exercise. Her bestselling book, Real Food for Gestational Diabetes (and online course of the same name), presents a revolutionary nutrient-dense, lower carb diet for managing gestational diabetes. Her unique approach has not only helped tens of thousands of women manage their gestational diabetes (most without the need for blood sugar-lowering medication), but has also influenced nutrition policies internationally.
Lily’s second book, Real Food for Pregnancy, outlines the problems with current prenatal nutrition guidelines and provides the evidence—over 920 citations—that supports a real food diet to optimize maternal and fetal health. Lily is also creator of the popular blog, www.PilatesNutritionist.com, which explores a variety of topics related to real food, mindful eating, and pregnancy nutrition.

Hi, I just listened to this episode the other day. I’m expecting my first baby any day now and have been trying to stock up on nutritious foods for postpartum. Where do you buy your liverwurst? I found some from U.S. Wellness Meats, but they require a minimum $75 order to ship and I’ve been getting all of our grass fed meats locally. I tried Whole Foods and our local farmers market but no luck. Do you know of other options?
Thanks!
Hello and congrats! We order from US Wellness Meats. I usually do a big order every few months and meet the minimum for the shipment. I love their seafood too. Big hugs ♡
