Welcome to our whole person care webinar series on maternal and infant health. Each series of webinars includes three focused 30-minute sessions that unlock practical strategies in labs, supplement ingredients, and lifestyle medicine, empowering you to provide truly comprehensive care.
Session #1: Pregnancy health: A window into long-term cardiometabolic wellness
Speaker: Maeson Latsko, PhD
Clinical & Education Specialist, Quest Diagnostics
Webinar description:
Pregnancy-related conditions—including preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, preterm birth, and fetal growth restriction—impact one in five pregnancies and act as early warning signs of future cardiometabolic disease in women. This talk will explore the cardiometabolic implications of these conditions, highlighting gaps in care, and underscore the importance of using laboratory tools to monitor risks early.
Key points:
- Review the state of cardiometabolic evaluation in women.
- Discuss how the stress of pregnancy can elicit the first clinical sign of disease.
- Understand how pregnancy-related conditions may provide a key opportunity for cardiovascular disease prevention.
Session #2: Perinatal nutrition: Improving outcomes for mothers and babies
Speaker: Dr. Leslie Stone, MD, IFMCP
Changemaker, Needed
Webinar description:
Nutrient deficiencies occur in at least 95% of pregnant women, during a time when nutrition is needed most. There is overwhelming evidence that higher standards of nutrition improve fertility, birth outcomes, and the trajectory of lives. This course helps providers understand the role of nutrition in perinatal health outcomes. We will explore diet, lifestyle, and supplement strategies that you can use in your practice to support the health of mothers and future generations.
Key points:
- Identify the current healthcare disparities and maternal mortality rates in perinatal care, and explain how nutritional deficiencies contribute to these issues.
- Describe the concept of Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD), and articulate the importance of perinatal nutrition from preconception to postpartum for both maternal and neonatal health outcomes.
- Analyze the prevalence of key nutrient deficiencies (choline, omega-3, vitamin D) in pregnant women, and summarize the latest research on their nutritional needs.
- Develop practical dietary and supplement strategies to help practitioners fill nutritional gaps in their patients, including criteria for selecting appropriate supplements like omega-3, prenatal vitamins, and iron.
- Implement culturally sensitive and inclusive approaches to support diverse populations of pregnant women, considering various socioeconomic levels, races, and cultures.
