Podcast Interview - Mom Genes

I was recently interviewed on the Mom Genes Podcast by colleagues Tina LaBoy, RD and Rachel Coleman, MFT. Their lovely new podcast is available on ITunes/Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Play and more! I hope you’ll give it a listen :)

Here’s a preview of what we discussed in this interview from the podcast website https://www.momgenesthepodcast.com:

“In the age of fad diets, the pressure to get back to your pre baby body, and inaccurate nutritional information floating around social media, how on earth is a Mom supposed to know what to eat and how to eat? Fed is best, not just for the baby, but for the Mom too! We define “normal eating” and interview Janice Dada, RD on her expertise in educating Mom’s on how to fuel their bodies and care for themselves nutritionally.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE CHAT ABOUT:

• Tina explains the scientific definitions of food, calorie, and energy and puts it into layman terms for us non-dietitian listeners (and co-host!)

•  We interview colleague Janice Dada, RD on how she teaches the Mom’s in her practice and new mommy group how to nourish their bodies

• Janice and Tina bust some typical diet myths and FAQ’s that new Mom’s have about baby weight, weight loss, nutrition during breastfeeding, and meal planning

• We all explore our favorite tips and tricks to maintain proper nourishment of ourselves as working Moms as well as ways we guide the Mom’s in our private practices

• Takeaway question: Janice’s great advice of “fed is best” applies not only to the baby but to the Mom. What do you need to do to remove the rules and get back to the nutritional basics so you can fuel and take care of the one body you have?”
