Building your Body for Baby + Eating your Prenatal | Emmalee Thompson
Emmalee is a Registered Nurse turned holistic practitioner (FDN-P) with a focus on women’s health, hormones, and fertility. She is also a wife, mother of two young children, and passionate about slow, intentional living. Emmalee's journey into the holistic wellness space began with multiple autoimmune diagnoses as a young adult and, after finding healing outside of the western medical system, she opened her practice with the goal of helping other women do the same. In this episode, Emmalee shares why we should be diligent in reading our prenatal nutrition labels and why they may not be as “harmless” as they seem. Listen and learn best how to support your body while trying to conceive and how you can eat your prenatal instead!
