This module covers the physiology of gestation and lactation from a Whole Foods Plant-Based WFPB perspective. Topics include maternal-fetal nutrient transfer, critical windows for teratogen avoidance, and the epigenetic impact of maternal diet on fetal programming. We analyze clinical strategies for managing common pathologies such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia through dietary intervention. The curriculum also details specific micronutrient protocols (Folate, Choline, DHA, B12) to ensure neurological integrity and optimize birth outcomes in plant-exclusive pregnancies.
