In this eye-opening episode of The New Mom Talk Podcast, we’re joined by Jeanne Reilly, RDN—Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, mom of two, and Co-Founder of I Am Nurtured—to talk about why traditional prenatal and postnatal vitamins may not be giving moms everything they need.

We dive into common misconceptions about supplements, the nutrients that are often missing (or underdosed), and whether our bodies really absorb everything inside those capsules. Jeanne shares what to look for in a high-quality prenatal or postnatal supplement, plus how your diet and lifestyle choices can support your overall health during pregnancy and postpartum.

Whether you’re trying to conceive, currently pregnant, or navigating postpartum recovery, this episode will empower you to make informed choices about your nutrition so you feel nourished, energized, and supported every step of the way.
