About this week's presenter: Dr. Megan Bragg is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a PhD in Nutritional Biology. Megan received her RDN credential in 2015 before beginning a research career focused on maternal/child nutrition. Over the past 10 years, she's published studies ranging from the role of choline for growth and development among young children in Malawi to the impact of maternal diet during pregnancy on children's autism development. In 2021 and 2024, Megan also got a chance for hands-on experience in this realm as she welcomed her two children! Recently, Megan has been using the information she's learned to provide evidence-based nutrition counseling for moms, children, and families as the owner of Family Centered Nutrition Science. She currently offers telehealth sessions related to reproductive nutrition (fertility, prenatal, postnatal), childhood nutrition (introduction of solids, picky eating), and women's health (PCOS, menopause) for families in PA/DE/NJ. She accepts most major insurance plans. You can find more information about Megan and her services at www.familycenterednutritionscience.com.
All parents are welcome, although some weeks are specific to those who are postpartum.
