In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with one of my current clients whose transformation is nothing short of incredible. Before she first came to me, she was pre-diabetic, dealing with postpartum depression, getting shaky between meals, and didn’t feel like herself at all. She told me she felt like her body was working against her.

Today… she describes herself as the happiest she’s ever been with stable moods, balanced blood sugar, consistent energy, and a lightness she thought she’d never feel again.

We talk about:

  • What it felt like to be doing everything “right” and still feeling awful

  • The moment she realized her blood sugar and metabolism were driving her symptoms

  • The simple shifts that made the biggest difference

  • How opening drainage, stabilizing blood sugar, and supporting minerals changed her mood

  • What surprised her most on her journey

  • How motherhood feels now that her body is finally supporting her again

  • Her advice for any mom who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or dismissed by doctors

This conversation is such a beautiful reminder that your mood isn’t “just your hormones” and it’s definitely not “just postpartum.” Your body is trying to get your attention and when you support the root causes, everything shifts.

So many moms are told: “You’re just tired.” “It’s normal after having a baby.” “It’ll pass.” “Just eat cleaner.”

And meanwhile…

  • blood sugar is unstable

  • minerals are depleted

  • inflammation is high

  • the gut is struggling

  • circadian rhythm is off

  • mitochondria are drained

And you’re left feeling like you’re failing when your body is the one that needs support.

This episode gives you a real-life, honest look at what happens when you finally address the root cause especially when you’re postpartum and trying to hold everything together.
