31 | First Trimester Superfoods: What I Tell My Patients to Eat in Early Pregnancy

Looking for what to actually eat in early pregnancy?

If you’re in your first trimester and the nausea, fatigue, and food aversions are doing the most, this episode is for you. As an OB/GYN who has cared for thousands of mamas, these are the exact superfoods I tell my patients to eat to support energy, reduce nausea, steady blood sugar, and fuel a growing baby from day one.

These first 10–12 weeks are when your baby forms every major organ, and your mitochondria — your body’s tiny energy factories — are working harder than ever. That’s why choosing the right foods can make a huge difference in how you feel and how your baby grows.

👩🏽‍⚕️ In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔ The 10 first-trimester superfoods I recommend as an OB/GYN

✔ What to eat when EVERYTHING makes you nauseous

✔ Why your fatigue is real (hint: mitochondria!)

✔ How simple foods can help stabilize your blood sugar

✔ What nutrients matter most in weeks 5–12

✔ Easy, culturally relevant foods that support your body and your baby
