Before we get into the crucial nutritional requirements that pregnant women have, iโd like to take a couple of tweets in order to mention what they can do in order to secure the babyโs health before conceiving.

Reducing stress hormones and estrogen is probably the most crucial step for women that want to conceive, since elevated estrogen levels can even ki ll the baby in the womb.
So a 6-12 month xenoestrogens awareness and detox period should ideally be implemented.
Hereโs a thread on the back up account that covers both if you are interested.

Then, since many of the side effects of estrogen can be offset by vitamin E and estrogen also increase the bodyโs needs for vitamin E, adding quality sources of vitamin E such as some brands of palm kernel oil and quality EVOO (always make sure that both are in glass bottles).
Now, the absorption of iron is stimulated when stress hormones are elevated.
What happens then is that since most people are chronically depleted of copper, this replacement of copper by iron in someone will increase estrogen even further.

In order to avoid this from happening, one should focus on optimizing iron homeostasis(*) and avoiding iron fortified foods while adding some dietary copper from sources such as quality organ meats and even organic cacao once in a while (please do not over do it with copper).
(*)The vitamins and nutrients which are involved in the metabolism of iron mainly are vitamin A, vitamin D, biotin and vitamin C which are all required to keep iron in a biologically soluble state.
Then, if you want to take it even further, adding pectins into the diet before conceiving, can be a great tool to detox from heavy metals, parasites and all kinds of endotoxins that can harm the baby's health.
I do NOT recommend AC for women that want to conceive.

Sodium fluoride must also be avoided since it is such a powerful calcium chelator that it weakens the bones, displaces iodine, can lower IQ by up to 15 points and harms your thyroid.
Obviously since PUFA metabolites (leukotrienes) have been proven to trigger many autoimmune diseases and remodel the cardiolipin structure of mitochondria, should be avoided for 12 months (years ideally, which will fortunately be very common for the young guys that are a part
of this side of Twitter and know about this stuff) prior.
I know that these measures might seem too intense for some people, but you have to understand that kids today are sick at a truly tragic level and this is not an accident*

Last but not least, optimizing your thyroid and keeping the adrenals safe by providing enough protein, vitamin C, carbohydrates, saturated fats, sea salt, magnesium and some potassium, will be crucial as well for many of the crucial hormones.
Hereโs a basic introduction to the thyroid.

Now letโs talk about nutrition.
Optimal gut health should also be a priority in order to also fix possible and very likely nutrient deficiencies.
So the first step is to optimize gut health.
Hereโs a full guide.

Now when a woman is pregnant, the micronutrients that are on highest demand from the baby are:
1.Folate (Beef liver)
2.Calcium (Eggshell powder but only AFTER youโve healed your gut, organic cheese, raw milk with a splash of vinegar (will explain why the vinegar soon.

What you want me to do? i canโt answer all the questions. I even started a substack just to rant there about your frequently asked questions)
3.Potassium (Avocados, bananas, organic potatoes)
4.Vitamin D (Sunlight)
5.Vitamin A (and carotenoids) (Organs, pumpkin, squash)

6.Magnesium (Swimming in the clean ocean (very very under rated source of magnesium), magnesium glycinate)
7.Iodine (Oysters,mussels, some seaweed)
8.Phosphorus (worry about calcium first)
9.Zinc (Oysters, beef)
10.B12 (Beef liver, clams raw dairy)
11.Choline (Eggs, organs)

12.Selenium (shell fish)
13.Vitamin K (Raw dairy + some organic greens slow cooked in animal fats)
Obviously, amino acid balance is crucial as well so adding things such as bone marrow, some shrimp and so on, will be very beneficial.

Vitamin D levels are crucial and should be measured.
And if you get plenty of sun and your vitamin D levels are still low, you may be suffering from a boron deficiency which is not uncommon.

During boron deficiency our body excretes higher levels of 24-hydroxylase, an enzyme that destroys vitamin D.
Obviously suboptimal gut health will also lead to low vitamin D levels, so focus on optimizing it.

They key is to keep women before and during pregnancy in as little stress as possible (so grounding will help as well) and detox them from the almost endless enviromental polutants that are so present in today's society.
Give them: organs, raw milk, oysters, honeycomb, some organic cacao, some organic root vegetables and greens cooked in animal fats, blackseed oil, acerola cherry and pomegranate juice (no pulp), bone marrow, EVOO, coconut oil, some palm kernel oil and so on.
Probiotics and things of this nature can really be a double edge sword so one should not simply consume things such as kefir, yogurt and especially kimchi because they are "healthy".
Your best bet with probiotic rich foods will be colostrum though*

I have also seen Peaters promote aspirin in pregnant women and this shows you that they are just copy pasting Haidut's article titles.
Please do not start popping aspirin because some guy with 135lb bench told you so.
