so today I want to talk about why it’s

considered normal for women to have

insulin resistance when they’re pregnant

especially in the third trimester it’s a

real common problem and people consider

it normal

well here’s what you need to know the

reason this is occurring is because

there’s an adaptation process happening

to give the fetus the lion’s share of

fuel and nutrients so if that mother has

a subclinical problem with insulin

resistance or a vitamin deficiency

everything will be magnified when she’s

pregnant and this is another reason why

some women get gestational diabetes

during the pregnancy and as soon as they

deliver the baby start breastfeeding

that goes away but the problem is that

if a woman has gestational diabetes the

risk to the child for getting diabetes

goes up by 3 times so what a mother

consumes during the pregnancy

and before the pregnancy is crucial to

determine and predict what kind of

health problems that child is going to

have so a lot of times I’ll get this

question is it okay to do keto and

intermittent fasting during pregnancy ok

or while you’re breastfeeding

well keto is a must okay but not in a

minute fasting I wouldn’t worry about

intimate fasting I would focus on keto

why because it targets and improves

insulin resistance it’s a precursor to

diabetes and getting on keto can prevent

insulin resistance through the entire

pregnancy including the third trimester

a couple things you need to know trace

minerals especially chromium are vital

to take during a pregnancy especially

like zinc and iodine as well the

chromium really helps the blood Sugar’s

okay but these trace minerals are

crucial in the development of human body

so if you’re deficient in any of these

trace minerals it can have huge

consequences not just in growing but

even that human beings intelligence

could be affected by a deficiency in

iodine for exam

B vitamins are also crucial to prevent a

lot of problems the B vitamins and other

vitamins act as cofactors in the

chemistry and in the formation of

proteins also when you breastfeed if you

take nutritional yeast or even brewers

yeast you can fortify that milk also you

need minerals potassium magnesium I

recommend getting those from a lot of

vegetables and that way you can also get

the vitamin C that you need also vitamin

D is very difficult to get from the diet

and so you really want to make sure that

you substitute vitamin D and this also

includes when you’re breastfeeding as

well and lastly make sure you do organic

foods you don’t want to be exposed to

pesticides insecticides herbicides

glyphosate because these chemicals can

greatly affect the formation of healthy

tissues so if you are pregnant or you

know someone who’s pregnant get them on

a healthy version of keto immediately
