Ambrosia Academy
Prenatal and Postnatal Online Nutrition Courses COMING SOON!
You’re pregnant, now what?!
Many researchers now believe the 9 months of pregnancy are the most consequential period of our lives - permanently influencing the wiring of the brain, the function of organs like the heart, liver and pancreas, and even our ability to manage stress. Research also shows that the conditions we encounter in utero shape everything from our susceptibility to disease, to our appetite and metabolism, to our intelligence and temperament.
Think of a tomato plant - you can put a tomato seed in any kind of soil and it has the DNA to grow that tomato plant. However, put that same seed in organic soil that is wonderfully watered, sunlit and fertilized with compost and that tomato plant will grow juicier, lusher, and more resilient than the others. Growing a human is no different.
