E39. Gut Health for Pregnancy and the Postpartum | Rebecca Traylen

The power of our gut. No seriously, our gut and microbiome are incredible! It is not until I begun planning a pregnancy that I really tuned into, and researched gut health and I was literally mind blown! In fact, ensuring a healthy gut and microbiome is one of the ways we can set our children and maternal bodies up for strong, healthier futures. Our gut is connected to so much of our wellness and the evidence really is building so I think it is important we shout about it and get the word out there to empower more women to consider boosting their gut health to boost their family’s wellness. On this week’s episode I am delighted to be joined by Rebecca Traylen. Rebecca started her journey at the University of Nottingham studying Biology where she became fascinated in the relationship between diet, health, and disease. This led her to study a master's in nutrition at the University of Surrey and practises as an Associate Nutritionist. Since studying at Surrey, Rebecca is now the resident nutritionist at Probio7 and is keen to raise awareness of the importance of gut health and how our resident bacteria can affect our health and well-being, throughout our whole life. On this week’s episode we discuss the importance of the microbiome in regards to pregnancy and infant health, what it really means and simple, practical ways we can boost the health of our guts.
