Typical treatment options for nausea and vomiting in pregnancy include Ondansetron (Zofran), which is the most common antiemetic used in pregnancy, Promethazine (Phenergan), and Metoclopramide (Reglan). Another commonly recommended non-prescription medication is diphenhydramine (Benadryl) which is an antihistamine that can be used to relieve pregnancy-related nausea and vomiting.

Irritability, anxiety, sadness, bloating, headaches, brain fog, food cravings, acne, and more…why do I experience PMS each month and how can I avoid it? PMS is mostly caused by fluctuating hormone levels estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen is our main reproductive hormone. It boosts serotonin levels, gives us energy, builds muscles, and improves insulin sensitivity - it’s the hormone that peaks right before ovulation, and that’s when it should be at its highest. But, too much estrogen during the luteal phase can be overstimulating which results in breast pain, fluid retention, irritability, and headaches, i.e. all the period symptoms we don’t want. 

Macronutrients, aka “macros,” are the three basic elements of nutrients found in foods that give us energy. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are all equally important for us to consume in order to fuel our bodies for the day, as well as maintain healthy functioning cells, tissues, and organs.
