Optimising Maternal and Offspring Health during the First 1000+ (+to include preconception) days

Kathy Whyte, founder of Nurture Mum, is a nutritionist and former midwife with a keen interest in optimising health before, during and following pregnancy. The first 1000+ days (preconception, through pregnancy to 2 years) of a child’s life dictate and set the signposts for future health. She has a keen interest in the early origins of health, promoting evidence based, practical meaningful advice and support from preconception, through pregnancy, feeding and weaning. Kathy is helping change perceptions of pregnancy, health, and society’s response to the deepening crisis in public health and wellbeing. The first 1000+ days of life is the greatest opportunity there is to develop healthy lives, from the very beginning.
