Concerns with a Vegetarian Diet in Pregnancy with Lily Nichols, RDN

Dr. Mark and Anisa Woodall dive deep in this conversation with Lily Nichols, RDN into the true concerns for mamas and babies when a woman chooses to follow a vegetarian (or even limited animal protein) diet. Though there is so much to be discussed on this topic, we covered the key concerns of what true protein needs are in pregnancy, essential pregnancy micronutrients often deficient on a vegetarian diet, the differences between animal and plant forms of nutrients, and the challenge of balancing blood sugar on a limited protein diet.
