Episode Details

Gestational diabetes doesn’t have to be scary or confusing — especially when you understand how food and physiology actually work together. In this episode, I’m joined by Lily Nichols, RDN, a leading voice in prenatal nutrition and author of Real Food for Gestational Diabetes, Real Food for Pregnancy, and Real Food for Fertility.

We’re talking about:

• What real food blood sugar balance looks like in pregnancy
• Why the glucose drink isn’t your only option for testing
• How to build satisfying, nutrient-dense meals that keep your energy stable
• What your numbers really mean — and when (or if) medication is needed
• How to approach gestational diabetes with confidence, not fear

Whether you’ve just been diagnosed or you’re aiming to prevent GD, this episode gives you the clarity and reassurance you need to nourish yourself and your baby — the real food way.
