Dealing With Post Race Disappointment

Sharing the third trimester recap and birth story of our second baby, Leo on the pod today! I share how I modified exercise in the third tri, how I navigated finding out he was breech at 36 weeks, the decision making process around doing an ECV vs scheduled c section, and his labor & birth story!

In this episode I chat about how nutrition support during preconception, pregnancy, and postpartum can profoundly impact your health long term.

In this episode I am joined by Margie Davenport, PhD who is a researcher and professor of kinesiology, sport, and recreation at the University of Alberta. She has dedicated her recent research efforts to shattering "taboo" boundaries for both recreational and elite athletes, investigating the safety and impact of high-intensity training, heavy lifting, and contact sports during and after pregnancy. She also continues to lead vital research into complex pregnancies—such as those involving congenital heart disease, disability and type 1 diabetes—to protect the cardio-metabolic health of both mother and baby. In this episode we chat about how the exercise guidelines during pregnancy have changed in the past decade, where outdated recommendations come from and why they are misleading and even harmful, and a practical approach to how athletes should apply this information with their health care team. This episode is meant for educational purposes only and is not meant to replace medical advice nor constitute an individual relationship. Discuss any questions you may have with your health care providers.
