Nutrition and Physical Activity Guide:
Peripartum Period

Price: $50

This 3-hour course provides a comprehensive overview of the nutritional needs and evidence-based dietary recommendations for individuals during pregnancy and lactation. Participants will explore the latest guidelines for energy, water, and nutrient intake, as well as appropriate weight gain targets based on pre-pregnancy status. The course examines the physiological rationale behind vitamin and mineral supplementation, the role of physical activity, and the critical connection between parental diet and infant health outcomes.
I really liked how the course broke nutrition down by stage—from preconception all the way through postpartum. It made everything click for me. I finally understood not just what to recommend, but why it matters at each step. If you work in perinatal health, this course is a no-brainer
This course did such a good job connecting the science with real-life practice. The part on handling common pregnancy discomforts through diet was especially helpful—I’ve already used some of those tips with my clients. And the 3-hour format? Super manageable!
I’m a maternity nurse, and this course was spot on. The recommendations were up to date, easy to follow, and grounded in evidence. I really appreciated how clearly everything was explained. I feel way more confident now answering nutrition questions from my patients during pregnancy and while they’re breastfeeding
