There’s data suggesting that although 97% of women are taking a prenatal during pregnancy, 95% of them are nutrient-deficient. Food alone doesn’t provide us with all of our nutritional needs anymore. How do we then bridge this gap to ensure that mamas are getting the nutrients they need at such a crucial stage in their lives as well as their babies?

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Ryan Woodbury, to talk about how to choose the optimal prenatal vitamins. Ryan is the co-founder of Needed, a science-backed, practitioner-supported, and mama-centric family nutrition brand. They’re passionate about optimizing perinatal health and ultimately family health in order to support and help mamas thrive.
