This question came straight from one of the moms in my Facebook group:

“How do I control my blood sugar after having a baby?”

And the truth is postpartum blood sugar issues are not just about food.

In this episode, I’m unpacking why so many moms struggle with blood sugar swings, insulin resistance, or feeling shaky and exhausted between meals… even when they’re eating clean.

We’ll talk about what’s actually happening under the surface, like stress, mineral loss, sleep disruption, and hormone shifts, and how those things affect your blood sugar far more than most people realize.

What I cover:

• 
  

  Why “just watch your carbs” is incomplete advice for moms

  
  


• 
  

  How cortisol, sleep, and mineral imbalances wreck your blood sugar

  
  


• 
  

  Two simple daily shifts that stabilize blood sugar fast

  
  


• 
  

  The nervous system + blood sugar connection no one talks about

  
  


• 
  

  How I help my clients feel more stable, less reactive, and more in control
