    The Actually Healthy Way To Lose Weight

    In this episode of The OrganiMama Podcast, we sit down with Mallory Henderson to walk through her powerful journey of health and weight loss transformation, infertility, emotional healing, and reclaiming nourishment — both physically and spiritually. Mallory opens up about years of struggling with her health, the heartbreak of infertility and secondary infertility, and how learning to truly nourish her body became the turning point that changed everything.Mallory shares how weight loss happened once she began treating her body with kindness, feeding it well, and embracing pro-metabolic principles. But even more striking is her honesty about the emotional work required along the way — from confronting feelings of inadequacy to reframing her identity as a mother. She reminds listeners that nourishment is far more than what’s on your plate; it’s also about self-worth, grace, and the healing that happens when you stop punishing yourself and start listening to your body.Throughout the conversation, Mallory highlights the importance of community, accountability, and the small daily habits — like meal prepping — that have radically simplified life for her family. She encourages women to celebrate life and motherhood in all its forms while giving themselves permission to grow at their own pace.Get her high protein monthly meal plan that has helped her lose 99 lbs in the last 10 months and feel NOURISHED at the same time!Mallory’s (and Kristen’s!) favorite protein powder from Equip.

    Blood Sugar And Pregnancy

    In this episode, Kristen breaks down a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention in pregnancy conversations: blood sugar regulation and its direct impact on baby’s growth.She explains how the placenta naturally increases insulin resistance as pregnancy progresses—a normal biological shift that, when unsupported, can lead to chronically elevated blood sugar levels. Kristen connects the dots between this hormonal change and larger babies, challenging the idea that size is simply genetic or out of your control.She walks listeners through how blood sugar imbalances develop, why they matter beyond a gestational diabetes diagnosis, and how they can influence both mom’s and baby’s outcomes. Most importantly, she shares practical, non-restrictive ways to support balanced blood sugar during pregnancy—focusing on nourishment, not fear.Snag a copy of any of the OrganiMama guides 20% off with code PODCAST. My favorite blue light blocking glasses from Bon Charge.

    Bedsharing, Sleep Training, and Trusting Your Motherly Instincts

    In this episode of The OrganiMama Podcast, we sit down with co-sleeping educator Tiffany Belanger (@cosleepy) to unpack the real story behind co-sleeping, bed sharing, and why so many parents feel torn between instinct and expectation.

Together, we talk about why so many babies reject the bassinet, how human biology actually supports sleeping close to our infants, and how light, responsive sleep patterns between mom and baby can help reduce SIDS risks.We also dive into the wide world of sleep training, how partners play into the decision-making process, and why safety doesn’t have to be complicated — from clearing bedding to choosing the right mattress materials.
