How do I check what's in my food during pregnancy?

With Good Roots, scan any product barcode and see exactly what's inside—plus what the research says about each ingredient. No more Googling every item on the label.

What foods should I watch out for while pregnant?

The main ones: high-mercury fish (shark, swordfish), raw or undercooked meat and eggs, unpasteurized dairy, and cold deli meats. Alcohol is also a no-go. Check our Foods to Avoid guide for the full list and alternatives.

Can I drink coffee while pregnant?

Yes, in moderation. Most doctors say up to 200mg of caffeine per day is fine—that's about one 12oz cup of coffee. Good Roots can help you track caffeine in different products.

Women Who Create, Lead, and Begin Again | Good Roots

On Sunday, March 8th, we celebrated International Women’s Day, but the truth is, women deserve far more than a single day of recognition. March is Women’s Month, and it gives us space to pause and truly reflect on the impact women have on families, communities, and the world.

Women carry so much. We lead companies, build communities, support families, nurture ideas, and often do it all while navigating a world that still overlooks, underestimates, or ignores our contributions.

And yet, we continue to rise.

Women have always been builders. We build homes, businesses, movements, and futures. Sometimes quietly. Sometimes loudly. But always with resilience.

That belief is part of the reason Good Roots exists.

Good Roots is more than a nutrition app. It is a tool built for women and co-founded by a woman, with the understanding that health, knowledge, and support empower women to thrive. When women have the right tools to take care of themselves, they change the trajectory of families and generations.

This month, I want to especially celebrate mothers.

The women who carry life, endure the strength it takes to bring children into the world, and then somehow find the courage to reinvent themselves again and again while raising the next generation.

Motherhood is not just about giving birth.
It’s about transformation.

Mothers constantly evolve, balancing ambition, purpose, family, and personal dreams. They create new versions of themselves over and over again in pursuit of the lives they want to build.

That kind of strength deserves recognition.

At Good Roots, we are proud to stand alongside women, especially mothers, by providing a tool that supports healthier choices, deeper understanding of nutrition, and greater confidence during pregnancy and beyond.

Because when women are informed and empowered, entire families benefit.

So this Women’s Month, let’s celebrate women in every form, leaders, creators, mothers, entrepreneurs, innovators, and the countless women whose impact may not always make headlines but shapes the world every day.

And to the women daring to build something new, chase a vision, or simply become a stronger version of themselves.

We see you. We celebrate you. And we are building for you.
