This week’s episode I sat down with Ryan Woodbury, co-founder and co-CEO of one of our favourite supplement company’s Needed who are championing radically better nutrition for women, their families and the earth. Ryan shared with us the shocking discoveries of Needed’s IRB-approved clinical study, and that they found 95% of women were nutritionally depleted, even if they were taking a standard prenatal already. We chatted about the importance of tailored nutrition support, why we’re seeing these nutrient deficiencies basically across the board in women, and how we can support women through fertility and pregnancy in a more well-rounded way.
