Pregnancy nutrition gets buried under advice from every direction, most of it contradictory and much of it about what to avoid. The parts that matter are simpler: enough energy and protein for the trimester you are in, iron and folate and calcium and B12 actually reaching adequacy, and a plan that survives nausea, reflux and food aversion.

Each trimester is planned separately. The first is usually about getting anything down at all and protecting folate; the second and third add energy, protein, iron and calcium as demand rises. Where you have gestational diabetes, anaemia, hypothyroidism or a high-risk pregnancy, the plan is built around your obstetrician's guidance rather than in parallel to it.

Support continues after delivery. Post-natal recovery, breastfeeding demand, and a paced return towards your pre-pregnancy weight are all part of the same programme rather than a separate consultation.

—How it works

From the first form to a plan that keeps up with you

Six stages. The last two repeat for as long as you work together — that loop is the point.

01Before the first call
Assess
Pick a time and fill in the new-patient assessment — your details, health history, medication and what you want to change. A few minutes now means the consultation starts with the real picture.
02The consultation
Understand
We go through your history, your routine and any blood work from the last six months together, and agree what to work on first. Nothing is planned around a number you have not seen.
03Plan, version 1
Plan
A plan built from the food you already cook — every slot of every day, in household portions, with calories and macros calculated from the ingredients rather than estimated.
04Every day
Live
Your plan arrives in the practice's app. Sign in with your phone number and the access code you're given, check meals off with a live photo, and log your weight and measurements.
05Between reviews↻ repeats
Measure
Weight, measurements, adherence and any new blood reports gather in one record — the same record you and your nutritionist both see.
06Version 2, 3, …↻ repeats
Adapt
At each follow-up the plan is revised against what the record actually shows. Earlier versions are kept, so progress is a history rather than a rewrite.

Included: the practice’s nutrition app

Your plan for this programme lives in the practice’s own app — today’s meals in household portions, a live-camera check-off so your nutritionist sees the real plate, your weight and measurement trends, and your blood markers charted against their normal ranges. It opens in the browser on any phone or laptop, and it is included in the programme fee.

Questions about pregnancy nutrition

Do I really need to eat for two?

No. Energy needs rise modestly and mostly in the later trimesters, while micronutrient needs rise sharply. The plan reflects that difference rather than simply doubling portions.

I have gestational diabetes. Can you help?

Yes — meal structure and carbohydrate distribution are central to managing it, and the plan is built around what your obstetrician has advised. Your medical team continues to lead your care.

Can I follow a vegetarian diet through pregnancy?

Yes, with attention to protein, iron, B12, omega-3 and calcium, all of which are planned for explicitly and checked against your reports.

Questions about booking, fees, follow-ups or the app are answered in the practice FAQ.

Nutrition support complements your medical treatment — it does not replace your doctor's advice, diagnosis or prescribed medication. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis or a promise of a particular result.
