OMEGA 3 | Why you should care and my own shocking blood results

Confession time. I've been a bad dietitian. I talk to you all the time about how excellent omega 3 fats are, and I'm constantly nagging reminding my clients to either eat them or supplement them (or ideally both) because the benefits are just ridiculous. Particularly during pregnancy.
Honestly if you made me pick, I'd say omega 3s are my favourite nutrients. BUT - I've been naughty. I recently got my omega 3 levels checked, and the results were notttt good. Which is kind of embarrassing, right? Given the above. In this episode I share all the details of what my results showed, and what I'm doing to fix it. And of course I go over all the info you need about what omega 3s can do for you, and how you can make sure you're getting enough too. Come along this ride with me?

*COACHING AVAILABLE*

I offer 6 week coaching programs for women with gestational diabetes (and those postpartum) who want to feel confident in what they're eating, GOOD in their body, develop sustainable healthy habits and have the brain-space to actually enjoy their pregnancy, while achieving balanced blood sugar. Key Inclusions:
Fortnightly meal plans - nothing overwhelming, mostly just tweaks to optimise what you already do - so that you can eat food you love without the stress and pressure of calculating all the carbs etc. Weekly zoom calls to take a holistic view of your lifestyle so that all elements are working for your blood sugar and making you feel your best. Daily check-ins to troubleshoot right as things come up (like picking from a menu, a blood sugar spike, or doing your online groceries), and reassure you when you're freaking out, so that you never feel like you're alone in this. If you're ready to come out the other side of your gestational diabetes journey with balanced blood sugar, a better relationship with food (not to mention your loved ones because you're no longer taking your stress out on them !), and feeling healthier, stronger and more confident than before, then head to instagram and DM me. Let's chat.
