DR. RACHEL TINIUS- Exercise in Pregnancy & Underserved Communities
On today’s episode, I speak with Dr. Rachel Tinius, an Associate Professor at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky. She has studied the many effects of exercise during pregnancy on maternal and infant outcomes, as well as designed community-based interventions for pregnant and postpartum women, particularly in marginalized populations. Her research has led her down the path of innovation as she discovered a need for evidence-based exercise interventions among pregnant and postpartum women. Because of this, she has developed a mobile app, BumptUp®, and started a company, BumptUp Labs, with the mission to bring trustworthy physical activity guidance to all women during and after pregnancy.
We Talk About:
-reasons for inactivity in pregnancy
-creating BumptUp
-changing guidelines over the years
-reaching underserved communities
-the power of an app
-activity affecting pregnancy outcomes
-pregnancy as a time for new habits
