Everything You Need To Know About Vitamin D and Pregnancy
$75.00
Webinar Details
Vitamin D plays a vital role in a mother’s health and the development of her baby. This peculiar nutrient (technically a hormone, not a vitamin) warrants our attention during pregnancy, where research has shown it can have a profound influence on rates of pregnancy complications, preterm birth, and baby’s lifelong health (#epigenetics)
In this webinar you’ll learn:
- How vitamin D metabolism shifts during pregnancy
- Risk factors and prevalence of vitamin D deficiency
- Current research on vitamin D & pregnancy outcomes, including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm birth, and more
- The rationale for normalizing vitamin D levels during pregnancy (and research on what “normal” vitamin D levels really are)
- Optimal levels of supplementation and how they compare to current guidelines
- Practical application of this information: What does it mean for you and your clients?
Length: 90 minutes

WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING…
"I’m so grateful that Lily and Ayla have made all of these trainings available to us! I found the Vitamin D & Pregnancy webinar specifically very eye opening. Most of us know vitamin D is really important but to understand its role in the context of fertility, pregnancy and postnatally is another thing altogether. With evidence based research, this webinar unpacks how optimal levels of D could literally impact and change a woman’s birthing experience and postpartum recovery. This type of knowledge is too precious to keep to yourself and provides a wonderful foundation for practitioners to better guide their clients on vitamin D supplementation."
