It’s overwhelming, confusing, and honestly? Sometimes just straight-up annoying. That’s why we’re cutting through the noise in today’s episode and getting into the real stuff. I’m in convo with women’s health dietitian Julianka Bell, who’s worked with tons of moms-to-be and knows how to make nutrition feel supportive, doable, and actually helpful minus the guilt or outdated rules. Even if you’re not pregnant, but you’re thinking ahead or just want to feel more confident about nourishing yourself in this season, there’s something here for you too. Hit play...you’re gonna love this one. LISTEN UP! The Flourish Heights Podcast was made for women, by women. To be empowered in health starts with a true connection with your body.
