Women are constantly told to shrink their bodies ; while rarely being taught how body fat, nourishment, stress, and energy availability actually impact hormones and fertility.In this episode, we’re unpacking the relationship between body fat and reproductive health ; from missing periods and under-fuelling to hormone production, ovulation, athletic performance, and why ‘healthy’ doesn’t always mean optimal for fertility.This isn’t about fear or extremes ; it’s about understanding that the female body needs safety, energy, and support to function well.Find me on IG - @iamlouiseelizabeth & @louiseelizabethyogaGet your FREE Pre & Post Natal Toolkit : https://cool-violet-76272.myflodesk.com/sm7ww4ut6d 

Postpartum recovery is not a straight line ; and so many women feel like they’re failing when their healing comes in waves.In this episode, we’re talking about the physical, hormonal, emotional, and nervous system side of postpartum recovery ; from exhaustion and identity shifts to rebuilding strength, overstimulation, and the pressure to ‘bounce back.’Because postpartum is not just about healing tissue ; it’s a full-life transition, and needing more time does not mean you’re doing it wrong.Find me on IG - @iamlouiseelizabeth & @louiseelizabethyogaGet your FREE Pre & Post Natal Toolkit : https://cool-violet-76272.myflodesk.com/sm7ww4ut6d 

Pregnancy tired is REAL ; and it’s not just about ‘being a little sleepy.’In this episode, we’re talking about why pregnancy fatigue can feel so intense, what’s actually happening inside the body, and why growing a human is one of the biggest physiological jobs your body will ever do.From hormones and blood sugar to nutrient demands, nervous system load, and modern expectations placed on women ; we’re unpacking the science and the reality of pregnancy exhaustion without shame or guilt.Find me on IG - @iamlouiseelizabeth & @louiseelizabethyogaGet your FREE Pre & Post Natal Toolkit : https://cool-violet-76272.myflodesk.com/sm7ww4ut6d Get Luminate here (Canadians) — https://ca.juiceplus.com/cart/?cart_token=8053f3970e38d0e123693c05ceec32519964a641b4f6711282ae768f214323be&commSysPartnerID=10518061 Get Luminate here (AUS/NZ) — https://au.juiceplus.com/cart/?cart_token=6c4195cfd633188c388197b1126100aba9a7d70eed2c48734be228feb2d67600&commSysPartnerID=10518061

In this episode, we’re talking about what your cycle might actually be trying to tell you ; from period colour and cramps to hormonal acne, painful ovulation, PMS, missing periods, and more.Women are often taught to ignore these symptoms or simply ‘deal with them,’ but your cycle can offer important insight into stress, nourishment, hormones, recovery, and overall health.This isn’t about obsessing over every symptom ; it’s about understanding your body better and learning what’s common versus what’s been normalized.Find me on IG - @iamlouiseelizabeth & @louiseelizabethyogaGet your FREE Pre & Post Natal Toolkit : https://cool-violet-76272.myflodesk.com/sm7ww4ut6d Get the capsules here (change to your country outside of CAN) — https://ca.juiceplus.com/products/fruit-vegetable-and-berry-capsules?partner=10518061&variant=45129145614499
