Nourished - Nutritional Wisdom For A Healthy Pregnancy | Mini Documentary

Could the key to fertility and healthy pregnancies be hidden in our past?
One of the biggest questions facing women today is“what foods should I eat for a healthy pregnancy?”
And despite following mainstream advice and ‘doing all the right things’, many women still struggle with the emotional, physical and financial turmoil of infertility and challenging pregnancies.
In Nourished, we meet the mothers and medical specialists who have gone against the grain, and returned to the traditional animal foods that have always been known to support mother and child.
Because before prenatal vitamins, these foods were valued for their ability to support conception and the creation of healthy, beautiful babies:
“Without knowing the names of the vitamins contained in these foods, isolated traditional societies recognized their importance in the diet and liberally ate animal products containing them. They rightly believed such foods to be necessary for fertility and the optimum development of children.” - Sally Fallon, Nourishing Traditions
With 1 in 5 couples unable to conceive, and many women struggling to achieve a healthy pregnancy, we all know someone touched by this issue.
Please share this film with them in the hope it helps them experience the joys of healthy parenthood.

No, wrong. I am German. This from an English side: 'A calcified placenta occurs when small, round calcium deposits build up on the placenta, causing it to deteriorate gradually. The process occurs naturally as you get closer to the end of your pregnancy. However, if placental calcification occurs before your 36th week, it could cause complications for you and your baby. 09.01.2023'

I’m 8 mo pregnant with my first and I can’t wait to see the placenta! I’ve been eating an animal-based diet with beef liver, raw milk and plenty of eggs throughout pregnancy. No prenatals but I do take an oyster supplement and cod liver oil supplement because I don’t get as much seafood in my diet as would be ideal. Baby has been thriving all pregnancy, my labs/blood pressure/glucose have all been perfect and my mood and hormones have remained stable throughout.

[@apteryx7080]

that's awesome 😊. what a fantastic start for your bub ! My biggest regrets in life are my two almost vegan pregnancies. The placentas were tiny... my midwife said she hadn't seen such a small placenta after my first . I wish I'd realised the error of my ways and started to eat animal foods, but NO, I was so indoctrinated that I doubled down with the second and went more into the vegan death cult. Bub was born HUNGRY and wouldn't stop breastfeeding for three hours ! No word of a lie.. poor thing, she was literally starving for nutrients. Seeing those placentas side by side had me bawling 😭. I was sent this video by the hungry baby who is now 26 and she herself has recently adopted a carnivore diet. She told me not to cry but I can't help that lol.

[@jefdby]

@@apteryx7080 I feel you. I wasn't vegan or vegetarian but I could have eaten much healthier than I did. It was all casseroles with cheese and noodles with a little meat, when I was pregnant. Now that my kids are all grown up I'm moving toward more meat based. The best thing I did was take cod liver oil when I was pregnant with my 3rd one, then I gave birth at home Thank you for sharing.

[@apteryx7080]

@@jefdby I'm glad i had both my babies at home, at least they had a beautiful transition to this world. Just wish my homebirth midwife would have spoken more strongly to me about my diet . She herself was pretty close to vegetarian, only eating occasional fish and chicken.( As an aside, she also suffered very frequent debilitating migraines, no doubt in part because her diet lacked animal fat). I tested low for iron, I wish she had told me to eat red meat instead of taking floradix ! LOL. I'm happy my babies are now eating meat heavy diets. The hungry baby has seen her cystic acne finally clear up with carnivore, and her days-long headaches also disappeared! She's very pleased at these changes, as you can imagine.

In 2021 I found myself back in a wheelchair for the second time of my life, told I would need more reconstructive surgery to fix my joints from the damage my genetic condition has caused. I have Ehler’s Danlos Syndrome and 2 years ago was told I would need full pelvic and hip reconstructive surgery. I have been told for years I probably can’t get pregnant and lived with fearing pregnancy as I never thought my body would even be able to cope with it. Just over a year ago I decided to give the Carnuvore diet a shot, and within less than a month i was out of the wheelchair, off crutches, had no dislocations and was able to cancel any future surgeries. A year on I adapted it to be a more animal based diet and was still thriving. One thing though my period started doing it’s thing of being absent like it had done over all the years i was vegetarian, I was a bit upset as it finally felt like I was getting some consistency with it finally. I thought, this feels silly but let’s take a pregnancy test, yep that was what did it! I was 4 weeks pregnant! I am now 15 weeks pregnant and still eating animal based and baby is growing perfectly! If it weren’t for this WOE I don’t think I would’ve gotten pregnant (well and for my hubby haha!) Even that, since we met he thought I ate too many green things and helped encourage me to try Carnivore - which I thought sounded crazy but there were so many anecdotal stories of healing from it I couldn’t ignore it. I am still nervous of my body coping due to my EDS with the pregnancy but I feel while eating this way i have the best chance of having a healthy pregnancy and my body and joints coping the best they will be able to.

[@LaurenCaseyy]

Beautiful documentary… I was a vegetarian for 7 years. Started eating salmon and canned tuna the last couple years. I’m a podcast junkie and recently started hearing about the carnivorous diet… I decided to listen, because I’m an open minded person and genuinely love learning about all things health. A few months and so many educational podcasts later (big thanks to Mari Llewelyn and Dr Paul Saladino), I’m officially not a vegetarian anymore. I had my first bite of meat (chicken) a few days ago. I recently got married and the idea of having children is on the horizon… let me just say I felt a whole boatload of emotions seeing the vegetarian placenta next to the animal based one. It makes me so incredibly sad to think I could have had a child with that under nourished placenta…. HUGE thanks again to Dr Paul Saladino for spreading this message and getting it out to more people. I’m looking forward to incorporating animal based foods from local farmers markets and local farms into my diet 🤍

[@frogsofindia]

I wish I knew this information before I had my babies 5 years ago on a mostly vegetarian diet. I thought by having celery juice every morning, green smoothies, and salads was the best diet I could have. My first midwife was shocked at how small my baby's placenta was. It also had calcification. Not to mention my pregnancies were awful with 24/7 morning sickness the entire 9 months. Two weeks ago I started an animal-based diet (meat, fish, eggs, raw dairy, some fruit, and honey). I feel amazing! (Minus the 4 days I had the "keto flu" 😝) More energy than I ever had being vegetarian (for over 30 years!), my IBS is gone!!!, my circulation is fantastic (no more ice cold feet and hands), my keratosis pilaris is clearing up, and my pregnancy belly melted away (I was holding on to a lot of water weight from eating carbs). I now know the power of a meat based diet. It is amazing - life changing!!

[@maren8597]

That side by side is pretty shocking. After being vegan for two years, I got pregnant unexpectedly and around the same time (before I even realized I was pregnant) I felt strongly that I had to change my diet and I started off with an organ meat supplement. Now 6 and a half months in I can’t say that I’m fully animal based, but I do focus on eating plenty of high quality animal foods including raw milk, butter, eggs and meat. I’m so glad I felt the call to change the way I nourish myself for my baby.

I be crying at the end 😭. I’ve made animal foods including organs and raw dairy my highest priority for over 2 years now. I got pregnant with my first try last July and sadly miscarried. I’m praying for success soon, because yes, it is every woman’s natural calling to be a mother and if you have broken free from the brainwashing that somehow it is a less than worthy calling or that you cannot be a mother and a radically successful woman at the same time, your heart will naturally long for the transformation of motherhood. I pray it happens for me soon 🙏🏼.

Hi there, my midwife was telling me that a lot of women are having a hard time keeping their progesterone levels up once pregnant. She said ask to be tested early on and then she puts them on some type of regime. I'm not sure what, but I know it's not synthetic. I could ask her if you are curious to know. Hang in there and think happy thoughts and baby will come.... he/she had a well nourished body to grow in. 😊💗

I absolutely love this documentary I think it’s amazing and it’s something I recommend to my clients all the time whether they are prenatal postnatal or just trying to stay healthy. The only thing I wish that they divulged deeper into is the quality of the meat. There are tons of animals that are stuffed full of vaccines and hormones and when you eat not just what they are eating, but are also injected with and the animals surroundings it makes a huge difference in the quality of the nutrients you are getting. It’s like analyzing the soil of any fruit or vegetable you need to do the same thing for the meat. Find local and supporting your local farms is the best way to do this if you aren’t going to hunt yourself or raise your own animals for slaughter.

[@Luiiciano]

I definitely credit the health of our baby and my wife to tons of meat, milk, fruit, honey and eggs. We also had a midwife provide all the care throughout the pregnancy and delivered our baby at home. It was one of the best decisions we have made.

I was vegan for 7 years, November 2021 I decided to reintroduce animal food in my diet. I have never felt better since making the change. I don't have many vegetables anymore but love fruits. My period became very regular, and my muscle mass increased noticeably along with my training performance. I can't say I have a 100% carnivore diet, but I focus a lot of animal-based food (including liver supplement). I just found out I'm expecting, and I feel blessed. My GP and nutritionist advised me to stop the liver because high in vit A, and to eat more vegetables (the rainbow) and got me on a pre-natal multivitamin. Any thoughts? Also really enjoyed this documentary! I wish there were more content like this out there! Keep doing what you're doing!!I'm a big fan! - Ps: is there a Facebook support group to join?

[@roberta4522]

cooking liver greatly reduces the vitamin A...you can make pates...theyre really good if you cook the liver with onion and bay leaves. the copper and nutrients in the liver are extremely nourishing during pregnancy. Retinol (vitamin A found in animal foods) is actually incredibly good for you and your baby, but if you're worried about having too much just eat liver and cook it. Pate is eaten a lot in Europe on toast, it takes getting used to but it's actually delicious. You can also just take a smaller dose of liver pills, the ancestral supplements ones are really good quality. Also - prenatal vitamins are filled with things you might not want. Look into the Freely Rooted Podcast episode with Morley Robbins - there is a lot of information on ancestral eating, prometabolic eating, and eating for pregnancy there - led by two moms who are incredibly healthy with very healthy kids :) who ate and eat this way.

hola tribe... incredible documentary... thank you for this ... will definitely share with my community... i think there me be one thing worth mentioning... two different times, the midwife says "pasteruzied" eggs when maybe she was wanting to say "pasture raised"... its a thing that slips and gets confused often on this path and there is obviously a huge difference between the two... just wanted to point it out in case its helpful

I had a calcified placenta with my first son (I was actually eating lots of animal food, Weston A Price). It was because my placenta had started failing early on in the pregnancy, they thought my son would be IUGR but didn't end up that way because I started to shove loads of food in by the end! I think if the mom doesn't grow enough during her pregnancy this can happen, or just making past your due date.

Amazing 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I started by taking the liver and bone marrow supplements and it helped me get off of my anti anxiety meds and I never had any problems getting off of them and felt amazing. I then started taking gut and digestion and fire starter to complete my stack and loved it! Once I knew I wanted to get pregnant I started taking the life blood supplements from Lindsay’s suggestion in your podcast. I got my IUD taken out early thinking it would take me a while to get pregnant because of my hormones being out of balance for so many years and got pregnant less than a month after getting it out! My whole pregnancy (i’m 31 weeks) I have been taking mostly life blood along with, liver and bone marrow, fire starter, and sometimes gut and digestion. And I have had such an easy and wonderful pregnancy and I wonder if it’s because of these amazing supplements along with a healthy diet. I also wonder should I continue taking life blood post partum? Or go back to my original stack? Thank you Heart and Soil for changing my life I owe a lot to you!

Such a nice video and the placenta comparison is an eye opener.. But as a vegetarian (no eggs even because we have been this way for generations), it is really hard to even start having eggs in diet except in pastries and pancakes from outside. So the question of including meat in any form seems too far fetched an idea. I neither know how to pick and buy good meat, nor cleaning/cooking. So, I am now curious to know, what can I and so many others in similar state do. I am obviously taking prenatal supplements for the needed vitamins and cannot think of a way on including natural meat/organ at this stage of my life. I will be really happy if someone can throw some light on helping me understand better about my food choices. Thank you!

My second is so much more robust in health due to my diet while pregnant and now I’m pregnant with #3. I can only imagine how much better this whole pregnancy and birth + health of this next babe will be since I was the most nutrient-rich I’ve ever been going into it. Not sure if you’ve got any suggestions on meat aversions during pregnancy though? It’s something I’ve been struggling with as I’m early on :) Thanks again!! You guys rock

[@heartandsoilsupplements]

That's amazing! Best of luck with baby #3!

[@AshleyRothstein]

Hi! I am one of the women featured in this mini-doc. I tried to respond to your comment and share a link to my blog post about how I got through the first trimester (including navigating meat aversions), but I think KZbin flagged me for sharing a link and the comment didn’t post. If you Google “ash eats first trimester,” it should be the first one that pops up. :)

[@amandarada3242]

I also had a strong aversion to meat (and therefore a desire for carbs & sweets) starting with my 3rd pregnancy... I found it was an enzyme deficiency that I ended up taking supplements for. The first time my homebirth midwife just knew. The 2nd and third time I went to a chiropractor who does "muscle testing/applied kinesiology" (sounds "kookie", but it WORKS), and he could tell me which enzymes I needed. This last time it was an enzyme supplied by my spleen. So, if we find out where the deficiency is we can most likely find the organ (or organ supplement) we could take to help! Good luck!

[@juleslawson8767]

Thank you!!! I look forward to reading it 🥰

[@juleslawson8767]

Oh amazing!! My naturopath does muscle testing. I don’t have a chiro right now but I’ll go to my ND and find out what I’m missing! Thank you!

Fantastic documentary. Only wish it was longer :) I was vegan for 6 years. I didn't see my first baby's placenta, but I started craving meat with my second pregnancy. I stumbled upon information about ancestral eating that just made a lot of sense. When my daughter was born my placenta had some calcified spots. The midwives said it was because she was a week past her due date. I never believed that to be true, but didn't have any other explanation. I bet it was from being vegan for the majority of my pregnancy though

Does anyone know a good source for liver supplements in the UK? I was about to order from heart and soil, but can't be delivered here.

[@Ericj3k]

Pasture raised eggs not “pasteurized” that’s misleading to those who don’t know this jargon

[@ambermae09]

I drank raw milk and ate fresh eggs plus meat daily during my second pregnancy. My placenta was dark red like that one and my baby was born en caul. We do also eat homemade sourdough in our house

[@daniellemetoyer]

Ohh man this was good... way to short...

[@alimakingherway8714]

I'm trying to find a holistic nutritionist school that isn't biased to plant based. Does anyone have any suggestions? I know we're meant to eat more animal based.

[@marilynr7469]

She means pasture raised eggs not pasteurized* or is my hearing off?

[@jaspernemeth3045]

I eat like this normally, but have been having hypermisis :/ anyone that can give advice please comment. I can’t eat dairy, and just being able to add ground beef back in

[@jaspernemeth3045]

Hard not to feel guilty, but the only way I’ve kept food down the last 4 months has been zofran and thc

[@heartandsoilsupplements]

Sorry to hear about the hyperemesis :/ We’ve worked with many people who have experienced meat aversion or nausea, especially in the warmer months or when pregnant. Don’t be hard on yourself! We suggest prioritizing whatever nutrient-dense foods you can stomach (ideas: Heart & Soil supplements, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, bacon, eggs, raw milk, etc.) until you are ready to consume red meat/your normal diet again. Check out our animal-based resources for more nutrient-dense food ideas. You could also look into a collagen powder and a high-quality protein powder from Mt. Capra. Their goat milk-based powders are free of flavors, colors, and chemicals, and are produced using gentle dehydration techniques.

[@planejet42]

I think that midwife misspoke a couple of times. She said “glysophate” instead of glyphosate. Then she said “pasteurized eggs” instead of pasture-raised eggs.

Lindsay seems like a wonderfil midwife. I am curious though, she keeps saying pasteurized eggs, but does she mean pastured eggs?

[@Leocuteno1]

Can we please get name/ Instagram of women that delivers babies!

[@missmicah8024]

This is wonderful information. My body is messed up from doing 4 rounds of IVF for a surrogacy, and I almost died from hemorrhage during birth twice, once when I birthed the surrogate baby, and then when I went on to freebirth my own baby. I am determined to solve the issues I have been having with my body, blood, organs, etc ever since going through those IVF meds, and I really believe it mainly comes down to nutrition. We want ro have more babies and I pray that I never hemorrhage again.

If you have to do formula can you recommend a good one to get?

Are grass fed liver pills enough? Or do I need to eat actual liver for optimal pregnancy? Thanks for any info!

[@Soldivyne]

Always aim for fresh liver! Certain nutrients decrease over time.

[@kristynhuddleston125]

For someone who is hoping to get pregnant… what heart and soul supplements should I be taking? I’m having a hard time figuring out how to make liver and heart and not sure how much to eat. But I want to make sure I’m getting as many nutrients as possible.

[@ChurchInAshes]

Just eat fresh liver heart beef and lots of fat eggs dairy! You'll be fine.

[@anisawoodall]

@@ChurchInAshes That is certainly a great start! However there can definitely be more fine tuning that's needed based on female physiology

[@lilyknights115]

During my pregnancy, I used Heart and Soil’s Her Package, taking 6 capsules daily. I didn’t take prenatals, just did my best to eat a nutrient rich diet. Easy pregnancy, healthy mama and baby! I’ve switched to Liver and Bone Marrow just to change things up and no complaints. Been successfully breastfeeding for seven months now and my daughter is thriving!

[@kristynhuddleston125]

@@ChurchInAshes sorry just seeing this now but I actually just finally got the courage to eat raw liver and surprisingly I love it haha. We already eat a mostly carnivore diet and I'm going to try heart next!

[@kristynhuddleston125]

@@anisawoodall What else is needed? The reason I decided to finally just eat raw liver recently was because I have the hardest time taking pills, especially capsules. And it seems like with these supplements you need to take sooooo many!

I get acne from eating meat and animal products, just wondering if anyone here knows anything about this? I've done so much research and havent been able to figure out why. It seems like higher fat foods make me break out more. This started after going vegan for a while, but even though I'm no longer vegan I'm still having acne. Any info/advice greatly appreciated

I’m wondering if your liver is not breaking down estrogens well.

Amazing documentary. I sent it to my daughter who is trying and sister in love who is pregnant. ❤ I do have a question tho. How can someone get pregnant three months in a row?

[@AshleyRothstein]

Hey! That was me. Two chemical pregnancies (very early miscarriages - both happened around 4.5 weeks) two months in a row. The following month I got pregnant for a third time and that one went all the way through.

[@laurendamasoruiz]

⚠️ An update and warning on infant formula. The dry powder isn’t made to be sterile as the intention is for it to be made with hot water. However, it’s recently come to light that the hot water machines you can buy for formula just don’t get the water hot enough to kill the bacteria.

[@perfektessteak8660]

Every placenta is calcificated in the 40. week, quite normal.
