Pregnancy & Postpartum Recovery: A Mini Case Study on Nourishing Your Body, Replenishing Nutrients, and Preventing Depletion

In this episode, I'm walking you through a client case study that highlights how important nutrition is during pregnancy and postpartum. These are two of the most demanding phases for your body, and many women are still undernourished going into them. I break down what happens in your body during pregnancy when nutrients are low. We also talk about how this can show up postpartum and the key foundations that make the biggest difference in avoiding depletion and replenishing essential nutrients.   Resources: • Which lab test is best for you? → • Get functional lab testing → • Follow along on Instagram →   In this episode: 01:05 – A little life update 01:52 – Pregnancy is nutritionally demanding 03:00 – Signs you may be undernourished 05:13 – Postpartum depletion and recovery 06:50 – The effect of underlying issues 08:06 – Key macronutrients 10:23 – Essential micronutrients and prenatals pitfalls 12:18 – Nervous system and stress in postpartum 14:12 – What to do when nutrition isn't enough   I'm so grateful to have you here, friend.
