Work done in non-pregnant populations suggests that specifically targeting glucose, triglyceride, and leptin levels or inflammatory makers improves the metabolic milieu and overall health. We posit that precision interventions that include strategies such as time restricted eating, following the 24 h movement guidelines, or reducing sedentary behavior during pregnancy can be successful approaches benefiting the maternal metabolic milieu and minimize the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Personalized tools such as continuous glucose monitors or community-based approaches play an important role in pre-conception health and should be extrapolated to pregnancy interventions to directly benefit the metabolic milieu optimizing health outcomes for both parent and child.
