Conventional prenatal nutrition guidelines are outdated and inadvertently promote diets that increase the risk of complications. True optimal fetal development requires an ancestral, nutrient-dense approach prioritizing fat, protein, and whole foods.
Expectant mothers should shift away from conventional high-carbohydrate recommendations and consume at least eighty to one hundred grams of protein daily to stabilize blood sugar and support fetal tissue growth.
Ancestral superfoods like organ meats, pasture-raised eggs, and bone broth provide highly bioavailable forms of critical nutrients like choline, glycine, and vitamin B12 that are routinely deficient in modern diets.
Strictly avoiding restricted foods like soft cheeses or runny eggs due to exaggerated foodborne illness fears often causes maternal nutrient deficiencies that outweigh the actual statistical risks.
