When Dr. Tinius was invited to be featured on EMPOWERED, it felt like more than just an opportunity—it felt like a mission.
EMPOWERED set out to spotlight how women can take control of their health and positively impact both their own well-being and the health of their babies during and after pregnancy. As a researcher and exercise physiologist who has spent years studying maternal health, Dr. Tinius was selected as a content expert in this space—but more importantly, as an advocate for women who deserve better support.
Because the truth is, too many women are left navigating pregnancy and postpartum health on their own—without clear, trustworthy, evidence-based guidance.
That’s exactly why BumptUp was created.
BumptUp is designed to fill a critical gap in maternal healthcare by putting a powerful, science-backed tool directly into the hands of women—helping them feel confident, safe, supported, and strong throughout pregnancy and beyond.
The EMPOWERED platform created a powerful moment—not just to educate women on the importance of a healthy lifestyle during this life-changing season, but to elevate the conversation on a national stage. It was a chance to reach more women, share real science in an accessible way, and continue building a future where every mom has the support she deserves.
