Not all supplements are created equal — and the one you’re taking might not be giving you what you actually need.

A client came to me during pregnancy wanting to make sure her nutrition was on point before baby arrived. She was already eating well and taking a prenatal supplement — but when we looked at the label together, we realized something important: it was missing several key nutrients she needed the most.

And she's not alone. Many prenatal and postpartum supplements are underdosed, omit critical nutrients, or include forms of vitamins your body can’t even use effectively.

In this episode, I’m walking you through:

• The most common nutrient deficiencies during pregnancy and postpartum
• What to look for in a high-quality prenatal or postpartum supplement
• Why your energy, mood, recovery, and even milk supply could be affected by your supplement choice
• What I personally take and recommend for my clients
• When to consider a custom approach (like working with a dietitian)

Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or a few years into motherhood, this episode will help you make informed decisions that actually support your body’s needs.

Here are the supplements I discussed in this episode: https://us.fullscript.com/plans/vwarner1670162649-prental-pregnancy-postpartum-supplements
