Episode 30: Food + Family with Chris Pinto, Registered Dietitian
In Episode 30 of the Not Your Mother's Pelvic Floor podcast, Aliya chats with Registered Dietitian and mom of an 18-month old boy, Chris Pinto. They met back in 2022 when Chris enrolled in Aliya's online pregnancy + birth prep course Before Birth.
In this episode, you'll hear them chat about:
-Chris's experience immigrating from India with her family at the age of 6
-the steps she actively takes to not lose herself in motherhood
-how lack of health education and mental health challenges can impact our capacity to make good health choices
-how her childhood experiences with food shaped her decision to become a pastry chef + Registered Dietitian
-the most important skill she teaches her clients so they can eat well - and it doesn't have to do with following a meal plan!
We mentioned the course that Chris took when she was pregnant - it's called Before Birth and it's a live-on-zoom 6-week workshop series (with lifetime access to all replays) and the next round starts soon - on April 10th. If you are pregnant and looking to prepare your mind, body, and pelvic floor for your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience then this is the virtual experience you need before birth.

In the episode, I mentioned a sleep expert who can help babies, toddlers, children and adults sleep better - Amanda at Baby's Best Sleep. You can listen to Episode 10 where Amanda joined me to talk about sleep + more here.
