In Episode 8 of The Zesty Dietitian Podcast, I interview my amazing friend and colleague Katie Salmon, MS, RDN (she/her) all about prenatal nutrition! We cover some common pregnancy myths surrounding food safety, how to navigate food safety in pregnancy without fear, Katie’s experience being a pregnant dietitian with multiple severe food allergies (twice!!!), body image in pregnancy, and more. I’m pumped for you to dive deep with us in this informative episode!

Katie is a weight-inclusive prenatal Registered Dietitian who empowers moms to fuel their bodies while nourishing baby throughout the pregnancy and postpartum journey. While baby's health often becomes the sole focus during pregnancy and postpartum, Katie prioritizes the dynamic relationship between mom's wellbeing and baby's needs. Through her virtual insurance-based practice, she transforms complex nutrition science into practical, judgment-free guidance. Katie specializes in helping busy moms create balanced, satisfying meals that address common pregnancy symptoms while nurturing their changing bodies with confidence.
