Needed

@needed cofounder Julie sat down with @rickilake for a conversation on the state of maternal health in the US, why Needed is championing the work of @businessofbeingborn and how Needed is setting a new standard for perinatal nutrition alongside more than 4000 women’s health experts. If you’re an @needed subscriber check your email for a link to a free screening of @businessofbeingborn !

At Needed, we’re all about the why. Because when you understand the intent behind a product, you can make more informed choices when it comes to supporting your nutrition needs. So we wanted to share some context around why we created Trimester Plans. Head to our blog (linked in bio) to learn why we created them and how they can help you optimally nourish throughout all stages of your journey ❤️

The perinatal nutrition paradigm is broken, with products, education, and women’s health outcomes in need of a major upgrade. This need is the inspiration for the @needed Changemakers. Needed Changemakers is a collective of women’s health practitioners that represent complete perinatal care - doctors, midwives, doulas, psychologists, registered dietitians, researchers, and other perinatal nutrition and health experts and advocates. A collective voice is needed to improve outcomes for all women and their babies, and Needed is leading this movement through their mission to change the perinatal nutrition paradigm through their products, education, community, and advocacy. #neededchangemakers

Our Prenatal Multi Essentials is now shipping! 🎉 But you might be wondering why we made such a product when we're known for our complete approach to perinatal nutrition. This is the most nutritionally-demanding time of your life, after all. And less is not more when it comes to your prenatal. ⁠ Here’s the deal. ⁠ All stages of motherhood are not the same. Our bodies, our nutrient status, and our diets are not the same. Our experience of fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood is not the same. And our budgets aren't the same. ⁠ ⁠ We're here to support you and all of your needs. That's why we now offer 3 Prenatal Multi options to choose from. ⁠

Here’s what we’re manifesting for a healthy 2022! What’s your #1 ? 1️⃣Sleep More: Adequate sleep improves everything from mood and focus to appetite and energy. We’re setting bedtime alarms, blocking blue light, and taking our new Sleep Support! 2️⃣Stress Less: Stress is inevitable, but being able to manage it is key. We’re practicing mindfulness and meditation and taking our new Stress+Relaxation Support. 3️⃣Hydrate: When the body isn’t hydrated, we can experience constipation, headaches, fatigue, and more. We’re filling our favorite bottles and gearing up for a new product that’ll provide an even bigger hydration boost. 4️⃣Improve Consistency: It can be tough to stay consistent in remembering to take our supplements. We’re setting calendar reminders or phone alarms so that we don’t forget. Check out the sample schedule in our Getting Started Guide and then join us in solidifying the daily ritual! 5️⃣Foster Community: After nearly two years of a strange social dynamic, we’re getting creative in how we connect with each other and with you. Join us on Instagram, and stay tuned for more ways to connect through virtual events, Clubhouse communities, and more!
