Nutrition for Reproductive Health

Our nutrition experts are your best resource for nutrition optimization to support a healthy pregnancy and beyond.

Preconception and Prenatal Nutrition

Fertility Nutrition

Optimize your nutrition to promote fertility and inform evidence-based decisions for your reproductive health. We have additional expertise with conditions that may impact fertility including PCOS, endo and eating disorders.

 

Prenatal Nutrition

Navigate fact versus fiction and obtain recommendations for your evolving nutritional needs and pregnancy symptoms like morning sickness. Learn gentle strategies to nourish yourself and your baby safely through each trimester.

 

Medical Nutrition Therapy

Receive clinical nutrition support specific to your needs alongside other medical conditions or pregnancy-related health issues such as celiac disease, IBD, high-risk pregnancies, and more.

Perinatal Nutrition Support

Parental Nutrition Support 

It’s common for parents to place their own needs and self-care on the back burner. Simplify family meals and get back to nourishing yourselves in a way that doesn’t take so much physical and emotional labour.

 

Size Inclusive Pregnancy

Plus size folks are more likely to experience weight-based discrimination when accessing fertility treatment or perinatal care. We can support uncoupling weight from your perinatal journey and advocate for fair treatment.

 

Disordered Eating 

Pregnancy and postpartum is an extremely vulnerable period if you have a complicated relationship with food and your body. Our dietitians hold clinical expertise in disordered eating and can inform your prenatal care to promote safety for you and your baby.

Postpartum Nutrition

Postpartum Recovery

Gently optimize your nutrition after birth to accommodate healing and preserve mental wellness while adapting to postpartum and nourishing your baby.

 

Lactation & Chestfeeding

Feed without shame or judgment. Promote milk supply, identify common feeding or positioning challenges, and ensure baby is getting enough.

 

Infant Feeding

Get support with evidence-based tools and gentle coaching so you feel confident feeding your baby with less overall stress. Read more about infant feeding here.
