"Lily Nichols is by far one of the best guests you could ever have on your podcast! Not only is she easy to work with, she's a walking encyclopedia when it comes to human nutrition, and is super relatable for all levels of listeners. The evidence of her greatness is in her downloads though. Her episodes consistently outrank my others by about double, proving that there is a great need for what she has to say."
"No one has dissected the research on prenatal nutrition—and done so in the context of ancestral diets—to the depth that Lily Nichols has in Real Food for Pregnancy. If you want an evidence-based rebuttal to the outdated prenatal nutrition guidelines, look no further."
Host of Paleo Solution Podcast
"Whenever I need cutting edge, evidenced-based prenatal nutrition information, Lily is the first and last expert I go to. She's basically a human encyclopedia of all things pregnancy nutrition related."
"Lily has a beautiful way of breaking down conflicting research into tangible, realistic takeaways. As a mom she "gets it" and helps other moms learn from her personal experience and professional wisdom."

"Real Food for Pregnancy is the book I wish I'd had when I was pregnant. Most doctors know little about nutrition, so women don't realize how crucial it is to eat the right foods for a healthy baby. This is essential knowledge!"
Nina TeicholzNYT Bestselling Author of The Big Fat Surprise, Executive Director of The Nutrition Coalition 
"I absolutely love Lily’s work. Her evidence-based approach to nutrition is not only relevant during pregnancy, but for the rest of your life! I think every birth professional (midwife, doula, etc.) should have a copy of Real Food for Pregnancy in their lending library for clients"
Rebecca Dekker, PhD, RNFounder of Evidence Based Birth® 
"Real Food for Pregnancy is the most important innovation I have seen in pregnancy healthcare in the seventeen years I have worked with expecting and new families.
"
Jodilyn Owen, LM (WA, TN), CPMDirector of Perinatal Care, Choices Memphis Center for Reproductive Health 
"Real Food for Pregnancy should be considered essential reading for any woman who is currently pregnant or planning conception in the near future. I have not found a similar text with the breadth and depth of discussion on prenatal nutrition."

Drawing from the current scientific literature and the wisdom of traditional cultures, her work is known for being research-focused, thorough, and sensible. Lily’s clinical expertise and extensive background in prenatal nutrition have made her a highly sought after consultant and speaker in the field.
Her work in the field of gestational diabetes, which presents a revolutionary nutrient-dense, lower carb approach, has not only helped tens of thousands of women manage their gestational diabetes (most without the need for blood sugar-lowering medication), but has also influenced nutrition policies internationally.

In addition to her books, Lily is founder of the Institute for Prenatal Nutrition®, where she mentors other practitioners on perinatal nutrition, and is the co-founder of Women’s Health Nutrition Academy, which offers individual webinars on a variety of women’s health topics.
