Key ideas from Jessie Inchauspé

  • 90% of mothers today are eating a diet that doesn't provide the right nutrients for optimal baby development during pregnancy
  • Four key nutrients have outsized effects on baby's long-term health: glucose, choline, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids
  • Your diet during pregnancy is 'calibrating things in your child' - setting metabolism, brain cell count, and disease resilience for life
  • High glucose levels during pregnancy can program a baby's DNA to be more vulnerable to Type 2 diabetes later in life
  • Babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes have 21% chance of developing diabetes by age 22 versus 4% for other babies
  • Four eggs daily provide all the choline needed for optimal brain development - 90% of mothers don't get enough choline
  • Animal studies show babies from mothers who exercised solved mazes twice as fast and had 80% fewer anxiety symptoms
  • UK sugar rationing study showed babies had 15% lower diabetes risk when mothers ate 40g vs 80g sugar daily during pregnancy
