What happens when nutrition meets motherhood? Certified nutritionist and founder of Wholesome Huntress Nutrition, Caitlin Cipriano, joins me to unpack the unique challenges mothers face in nourishing themselves through preconception, pregnancy and postpartum.
Caitlin shares how her own pregnancy journey during 2020 revealed alarming gaps in perinatal nutrition support, sparking her mission to help mothers feel confident and well-nourished during every season of motherhood. We dive deep into why the "all-or-nothing" mindset becomes such a destructive force in maternal nutrition, often trapping women in cycles of temporary success followed by unnecessary guilt. Instead, Caitlin advocates for a sustainable approach built on grace, curiosity, and personalised systems that work within the chaotic reality of family life.
The conversation reveals how fatigue and time constraints create significant barriers for mothers looking to improve their nutrition, while social media comparison only compounds the pressure to appear effortlessly balanced. Perhaps most refreshingly, Caitlin acknowledges that even nutrition experts don't maintain perfect eating habits, but the key difference lies in establishing foundations like blood sugar balance and digestive health that reduce reliance on fleeting motivation. Whether you're planning for pregnancy, currently expecting or deep in the postpartum trenches, this episode offers both practical wisdom and permission to prioritise progress over perfection in your nutrition journey.
