AbstractThe developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) hypothesis suggests prenatal nutrition sets the stage for the developing brain, with effects that last into adulthood. Macronutrient and micronutrient requirements increase in pregnancy and deficiencies can influence fetal neurodevelopment and cognition. Foods such as eggs, meat, and seafood contain many of the nutrients needed for healthy neurodevelopment and intake should be encouraged among women of reproductive age. Family practice clinicians play an important role in providing nutrition recommendations surrounding food and prenatal supplements to consume before, during, and after pregnancy.
