The prenatal nutritional status of a parent and child is directly associated with health outcomes and risks well beyond pregnancy. Through Healthy Starts, we seek to support maternal prenatal nutrition and children’s nutrition to foster a healthy pregnancy, reduce stress associated with eating when diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and address health risks such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes.

The service is available to people from the point of their gestational diabetes diagnosis to two months postpartum. The menu is designed by our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists to meet the nutrition and caloric needs of a pregnant person diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and is comprised of 1 breakfast, 1 lunch, 1 dinner, and 2 snacks per day.
