Lot's of great content coming your way!
Happy almost October! Today, we’re sharing our monthly round-up of content that caught your eye in September. We were busy this month, launching the Weil Nutrition Corner™ Nourished Mama Collective - it has been such a thrill to see so many people enjoy this new series! We also released a free Nourished Mama Collective Eating Guide. Get it now (and forward to anyone you think would enjoy it!).
We also focused on Healthy Aging this month with topics such as cooking for a healthy brain, foods for sleep, and sweet potatoes for healthy skin. We shared lots of delicious recipes and meal plans, including the popular Fiber-Rich Meal Plans, so be sure to check those if you missed them.

Once again, we want to thank you for being part of the Weil Nutrition Corner™ community!
Here are some top posts from September - enjoy!
Why I Started The Nourished Mama Collective
Pregnancy is one of the most vulnerable times in life, and for good reason. How we eat and live directly affects another little being. Because of this, I’ve also seen pregnancy become a time when companies and social media seem to prey on and profit from people’s fears.
I started this column to create a space where we can connect, ask questions, share stories, and lean on science-backed nutrition and lifestyle tips - without the fear mongering. Learn more about what to expect from this series, and subscribe to the Nourished Mama Collective (it’s free!) to receive additional information, guides and more.
Is Saturated Fat Really That Bad For You?
We both think saturated fat is less harmful than it is sometimes made out to be, especially when your diet is rich in monounsaturated fats, omega-3s, antioxidants, and whole foods. We recommend that you think of having a saturated fat “budget” - learn more about saturated fat, how much we think is too much, and a swap list for healthier fats so you stay within your budget.
Sleep is not just about feeling rested; sleep is important for protecting your long-term brain health, maintaining hormonal balance and metabolic regulation, and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. Learn more about the foods, drinks, and supplements that can promote rest and relaxation, as well as a sleep snack guide to help you stay energized without disrupting your sleep.
