Next Self: Debunking Pregnancy Nutrition Myths with Sheridan Joy Austin, Founder of Foraged For You

Joining me today is Sheridan Joy Austin, qualified nutritionist, GAPS practitioner and founder of Foraged For You, a brand dedicated to supporting women through pregnancy and postpartum with nutrient-dense, thoughtfully formulated products.

Pregnancy nutrition can feel incredibly overwhelming. One expert tells you to avoid certain foods, another encourages them, and social media is filled with conflicting advice. In this episode, Sheridan helps us unpack the science behind some of the biggest conversations in pregnancy nutrition so you can feel more informed and empowered.

We discuss the differences between folic acid, folate and folinic acid, whether nutrient-dense foods like liver and oysters really deserve their bad reputation, the role of healthy fats, iodine, magnesium and iron during pregnancy, and why nutrition should never be a one-size-fits-all approach.

We also chat about glucose tolerance testing, postpartum recovery, how to navigate conflicting nutrition advice online, and the story behind why Sheridan created Foraged For You after recognising a gap in the market for truly nourishing pregnancy and postpartum products.

As always, this episode is designed to educate and empower. Every pregnancy is unique, so we encourage you to speak with your healthcare team about what is right for you.
