So many moms walk out of the hospital with a newborn in one arm… and no real support for what their body is going through. I know, because I used to be the nurse sending them home.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the 5 biggest things I wish I had known about hormone health after pregnancy truths that would’ve completely changed the way I recovered postpartum. These aren’t things we’re taught in nursing school. And they’re definitely not things most moms hear at their six-week checkup.
If you’re dealing with:
Exhaustion that doesn’t go away, no matter how much sleep you get
Bloating, mood swings, or hair loss that showed up months after giving birth
PMS, irregular cycles, or that nagging feeling that “something’s off”
…this episode is going to connect the dots in a way that finally makes sense.
What You’ll Learn:
Why your hormones don’t just bounce back after birth
The hidden impact of stress, light, and nutrient depletion on your recovery
What no one tells you about breastfeeding and mineral loss
Why symptoms like anxiety, bloating, and fatigue are messages—not just “mom life”
Simple steps to start supporting your hormone health today
