My Current Workout & Nutrition Routine (16 Weeks Pregnant)

Pursuit of Wellness · 2025-07-07

Ep. 192: Pregnancy has shifted a lot in my life, but one thing that hasn’t changed is my love for wellness. In today’s solo episode, I’m sharing how my workouts, nutrition, and self-care routines have evolved now that I’m 16 weeks along. From what I’m eating (spoiler: still all about protein) to the skincare swaps I’ve made, I walk you through a typical day and answer your most asked Q&As. Whether you’re pregnant or just looking for a wellness reset, this one’s for you.
