Built from Scratch Prenatal Nutrition

Looking for a sweet treat that won’t spike your blood sugar?

Stuffed dates!!

Slice open a date and spread on some nut or seed butter inside. 👌

Easy peasy and should satisfy your sweet tooth without affecting your blood sugar.

The fat and protein from the nut or seed butter helps to keep you on an even keel and dates themselves are considered low-glycemic which means while they taste sweet, they won’t affect your body the same way a processed sugar does. Something that’s very important to avoid or manage Gestational Diabetes.

This one is stuffed with Tahini (sesame paste)!

I don’t think I’ve officially introduced myself on here...so here it goes!

👋 I am Toby Sawyer. I’m a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and a Natural Nutrition Instructor at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition

I’m also a full time stay at home mum to a very busy 2 year old named Harrison with another one on the way. 👶 Arriving sometime early August.

I live in the beautiful Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, BC with my husband and children.

I love all things food related and have a passion for cooking from scratch and fermenting! There’s always something brewing in my kitchen ☺️ I’ve even been nicknamed Toby Scoby 🤣

I love to Garden and buy my food locally - which is so easy given I live in an area with about 900 farms!! 🌱👩‍🌾

After having my first son in 2018, I realized my passion is helping women through their pregnancies. Building healthy strong babies and not only surviving but thriving through their pregnancy and postpartum.

The work doesn’t end when the baby arrives .... if anything - things get harder. Especially that first 4-6 months when baby’s not sleeping well and you’re just so darn tired.

That was definitely the case for me! Even though I knew what I should be doing and eating ... I gained weight and my gut issues that I had resolved pre-baby came back due to stress, lack of sleep and just generally being a new mum.

I want to help woman feel their best from the inside out 💗

Thanks for following along!
Toby
