9 Months That Count Forever

By: Jessie Inchauspe, Jessie Inchauspe - introduction

Narrated by: Inés del Castillo

From bestselling author and Glucose Goddess, a groundbreaking guide to the science of pregnancy nutrition that empowers mothers-to-be to improve their baby’s health for a lifetime.

Most pregnant women are told: "Eat whatever you normally eat. Your baby will get what he needs from you.” But science tells a different story: your diet during pregnancy shapes your baby’s health for life. And somehow, no one has told you the rules—until now.

When biochemist Jessie Inchauspé became pregnant, she uncovered striking research: choline, DHA, protein, and glucose are four key nutrients that influence a baby’s development in the womb; yet most women don’t get nearly enough of the first three and too much of the fourth.

In this book, Jessie reveals science-based hacks to:
-Support your baby’s brain development, cognitive growth, and emotional resilience
-Help lower their risk of health challenges later in life like asthma, allergies, and diabetes
-Influence your baby’s body composition, organ function, and long-term metabolism

With guidance on supplements, nausea, labor, breastfeeding, meal plans, and recipes, as well as Jessie’s personal journey, this book reveals the extraordinary power mothers hold during pregnancy—and is an essential companion for every parent-to-be.

Best Scientific Information for Healthy Pregnancy

I was so happy to find this book following a podcast I listened to with the Author. The information is explained in a way that is easy to understand. I found this very early in my pregnancy and feel like I have the best information to move forward in a healthy way for both my baby and myself throughout this pregnancy and after.
