Pregnancy & Postpartum Nutrition

This isn’t my personal protocol — but I’ve had friends, family, and followers ask how to apply blood sugar-friendly principles during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. This page is for them.

These tips are not medical advice. They’re simply based on what aligns with the metabolic health tools I use personally — Unimate, Balance, smart food swaps, and consistent tracking.

If you’re currently pregnant or nursing, always talk to your provider before making any diet or supplement changes.

Key Focuses During Pregnancy & Postpartum

• Blood sugar stability is key – not just for you, but for your baby’s development
• Protein-first meals help regulate appetite and reduce nausea
• Balanced meals with fat and fiber help avoid glucose crashes and mood swings
• Hydration, electrolytes, and sleep matter as much as food choices
• Supplementing with prenatal vitamins is essential – but so is real food

Simple Meal Building Tips

• Include a protein source at every meal – eggs, poultry, beef, beans, fish (when cleared)
• Choose fiber-rich carbs like sweet potatoes, berries, oats, or lentils
• Add healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds, or full-fat yogurt
• Avoid added sugars and ultra-processed snacks as much as possible
• Watch out for “healthy” bars, juices, and yogurts that spike glucose

Where Balance Might Fit In

If approved by your provider, Balance can be taken before your largest meal of the day to help blunt post-meal glucose spikes. Many moms report fewer crashes and cravings when using it as part of a blood sugar-conscious routine.

If you’re pregnant or nursing, always check with your doctor first.

Postpartum Considerations

• Nutrient repletion is critical – especially iron, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D
• Blood sugar fluctuations can hit harder when sleep-deprived
• Use simple meal prep strategies to avoid skipping meals or grabbing quick carbs
• Fasting is not recommended while breastfeeding unless medically guided
• Tracking symptoms and cycles can be a helpful part of your long-term recovery plan

Need a Starting Point?

Here’s what I’d focus on if I were advising a loved one:

• Keep meals simple: protein + fiber + fat
• Use Balance if cleared, especially during high-carb or heavy meals
• Don’t aim for “perfect” – aim for stable
• Use tools like Medisafe, MyFitnessPal, and Health Sync to stay on track
