Prenatal Health Myths That Need to Die Already
Pregnant? Congrats. Also; get ready for 800 unsolicited opinions. Here’s what actually matters, based on science, not Grandma’s Facebook group.
Myth #1: “You’re eating for two”
Nope. You need ~300 extra calories in the 2nd trimester. Not an excuse to binge — but not a time to restrict either.
Myth #2: “Don’t lift weights”
Actually? Strength training during pregnancy helps with labor, blood sugar, posture, and recovery.
A well-devised, safe and effective workout program that will focus on the pelvic floor, core, and introduce specific breathing techniques and stretching. Will touch upon best nutrition practices for you and baby.

Weekly unparalleled support, guidance, and accountability from a coach who really cares
Individualized calorie and macronutrient suggestions based on your current nutrition habits
Mindful and guided goal setting to align with the results you want
Morning and evening self-care rituals
Meditation and breathwork practice recommendations

Specialized HIIT cardio workouts geared specifically towards your goal
Detailed instructions on how to read your program so you’re never in the dark about what to do or how to do it
Unlimited text support between sessions for whenever you have a question or need an extra bit of encouragement from me
Myth #3: “Avoid all fish and sushi”
Some fish = high in omega-3s, and low in mercury, like salmon. You’re not banned from a spicy tuna roll if it’s from a safe source.
Myth #4: “You’ll lose all the weight while breastfeeding”
Not everyone does. And forcing weight loss too early can tank your supply and your hormones.
You deserve better than outdated rules. Pregnancy is not a reason to stop training, it’s a reason to train smarter.
