Webinar: Everything you need to know about vitamin D and pregnancy

Vitamin D plays a vital role in a mother’s health and the development of her baby. This peculiar nutrient (technically a hormone, not a vitamin) warrants our attention during pregnancy, where research has shown it can have a profound influence on rates of pregnancy complications, preterm birth, and baby’s lifelong health (#epigenetics).

In this webinar, you’ll learn:

  • How vitamin D metabolism shifts during pregnancy
  • Risk factors and prevalence of vitamin D deficiency
  • Current research on vitamin D & pregnancy outcomes, including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm birth, and more
  • The rationale for normalizing vitamin D levels during pregnancy (and research on what “normal” vitamin D levels really are)
  • Optimal levels of supplementation and how they compare to current guidelines
  • Practical application of this information: What does it mean for you and your clients?
  • Tons of little known facts about vitamin D (applicable both during and outside of pregnancy)
Currently, universal testing of vitamin D levels during pregnancy is NOT the standard of care. After this presentation, you’ll see why this policy is likely to be reformed.
