In this episode, Dr. Kelsey discusses the role of prenatal vitamins in fertility and pregnancy. She explains that while prenatals are important for maintaining nutrient stores and reducing the risk of neural tube defects, they are not the key factor in achieving pregnancy. Dr. Kelsey emphasizes the importance of a well-balanced diet and personalized nutrition for fertility. She also addresses the debate between folate and folic acid, the absorbability of nutrients in prenatal vitamins, and the need for additional nutrients like choline.
