28. Redefining Prenatal and Postnatal Supplements with Skylar Nelson
After battling years of infertility & having a miracle baby, Skylar Nelson set forth to overhaul the pre and post natal supplement industry.
Skylar is a registered dietitian and co-founder of I Am Nurtured, a prenatal and postnatal supplement brand born from personal struggle.
Together, we unpack the hidden side of male infertility, the emotional toll it takes on couples, and how nutrition and supplements can help both parents recover, rebalance, and rebuild their health after childbirth.
We discuss what is wrong with most prenatal supplements, such as unabsorbable forms of vitamins, incorrect dosages, and heavy metal contamination, as well as the role diet plays.
We also dig into his mission to create the first-ever dad-specific postnatal supplement, the science behind omega-3s and B vitamins, and the daily habits that keep him grounded as a new father and business owner.
In this episode, we explore:
How can men emotionally survive years of infertility and IVF?
What supplements actually support fertility and postpartum recovery for dads?
Why do most prenatal vitamins miss the mark on safety and dosage?
How can couples manage exhaustion, sleep, and nutrition after a baby?
What does redefining “family health” really mean for modern parents?
