Eating for Two

Eating for Two is an essential nutritional guidebook for expecting mothers. This book provides up-to-date important information on how to support a healthy pregnancy using a functional medicine and nutrition-centered approach. Dr. Flass (a.k.a. "The Nutrition Pediatrician") is a board-certified pediatric gastroenterologist with two degrees in human nutrition. After having his own children and recognizing the lack of consistent, up-to-date prenatal and postnatal nutrition advice given to most parents, he expanded his pediatric focus to include the full spectrum of the first thousand days—from conception through the toddler phase.

This book focuses on how to avoid common nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy and how to choose nutrient-dense foods and nutritional supplements that feed the rapidly growing baby brain, the important probiotic gut bacteria known as the microbiome, and help program the developing child for future health by a process known as epigenetics. Eating for Two draws on the latest research and supplies evidence-based information on prenatal nutrition as well as ways a mother can minimize her exposure to harmful toxic substances in our food and water that could harm the baby. Eating for Two contains condensed information from his larger book Feeding Our Children and is intended for parents and health-care providers who want to focus solely on pregnancy nutrition.
