Pregnancy Nausea? Do THIS Before Medication
Nausea in pregnancy isn’t random — and it’s not something you just have to “push through.”
In this episode, we’re uncovering the real reasons morning sickness hits so hard (especially early on), why crackers and ginger often fall short, and exactly what you can do to finally get some relief!
If you’re pregnant, nauseous, exhausted, and frustrated that nothing seems to help, this episode will change how you think about morning sickness forever. We’ll connect the dots between hormones, blood sugar, hydration, minerals, your nervous system, and the labs no one is checking — so you can feel better without guessing or jumping straight to medication.
✨ Here’s What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
2:03 – Why we’re talking about nausea before medication
"Morning sickness" is telling us something. We’ll explore why understanding the root cause matters before reaching for relief, and how this approach can change your entire pregnancy experience.
2:48 – Why nausea hits so hard so early
Hormones, placenta growth, rapid baby development — and why your body feels like it’s been "hit by a truck" in the first trimester (and what that actually means).
4:41 – The real causes of pregnancy nausea (it’s never just one thing)
Blood sugar swings, protein intake, dehydration, minerals, thyroid stress, nervous system overload — and why stacking imbalances make symptoms explode. This is why one-size-fits-all advice fails so many moms.
7:53 – Not all blood work is created equal
Which provider to see, what labs actually matter, and the specific panels that can uncover what’s driving your nausea — instead of being told everything is “normal.” Can we all just collectively cringe at that one?
11:17 – Is blood sugar the reason you feel sick?
The signs most moms miss, why crackers actually make things worse, and the simple shifts that can stabilize nausea fast — including hydration and electrolyte mistakes almost everyone makes. (so don't worry, you're not alone 😉)
17:24 – Feel-better-fast strategies that actually work
Targeted supplements, topical support, foods, temperature hacks, ginger done right, nervous system calming, and rest — the tools that bring relief without masking the issue.
24:34 – Putting it all together
How to listen to your body, personalize your approach, and pinpoint exactly what you need to do moving forward.
