The Happy Apple
Welcome to The Happy Apple Podcast, bought to you by me, Katie King aka The Balanced Nutritionist. I live in Brisbane, Australia, but I work via telehealth so I reach people all around Australia and occasionally abroad.The Happy Apple podcast drops monthly, covering a wide variety of health topics but we ALWAYS try to keep the conversation positive and happy. Food should not be a source of stress.... it can be BOTH nutritious and delicious at the same time. I'm here to remind you that healthy food is fun and exciting and its ok to have an apple in one hand and the occasional croissant in the other! We rebranded this podcast in early 2021, so some of the older episodes will be under the old title 'The Nourished Wrap' - all of the episodes are worth listening too, in my opinion.To access my services, you can visit my website. I have a number of different online courses you can do from your own home or you can book a consultation with me. I also offer workplace solutions for corporate wellness.Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the show.

Episode 7
There is no greater time in life when nutrition becomes of utmost importance than pregnancy, simply because you are literally building another human being using vitamins, minerals & nutrients you get from food. In this Epidsode of The Nourished Wrap Podcast Katie & Jess discuss the key nutrients in pregnancy that aren’t made aware of enough in modern society, why pregnancy care should start way before even falling pregnant, foods to eat to support a healthy pregnancy & Jess share’s a secret with you all (any guesses?). Jess opens up about the very real struggle of food cravings & trying to manage morning sickness when the last thing you feel like eating is a big nutrient dense salad. A real insight into sensible pregnancy care, this episode is for anyone who is currently pregnant, trying to conceive or just wants a family of their own in the near or late future. As you will learn the health of a pregnancy starts months before conception!
