In this week's episode, I'm answering your questions about a mix of women's health topics, from digestive issues and hormone imbalances to fertility, postpartum recovery, and navigating the world of functional testing and supplements. We talk about why symptoms that seem similar can have completely different underlying causes, what your menstrual cycle can tell you about your health, and how to approach testing and supplements without overcomplicating things. I'm also sharing what my journey into functional health looked like, balancing motherhood with running a business, and preparing for baby #2.

Pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding place enormous nutritional demands on our bodies, but postpartum nutrition rarely gets the attention it deserves. In this episode, we're talking about how nutrient depletion can impact your energy, hormones, mood, and overall recovery after having a baby. I'm sharing my own experience in postpartum, the key nutrients I pay attention to with my clients, which labs can help identify deficiencies, and how to actually rebuild your nutrient stores. Whether you're newly postpartum or still not feeling quite like yourself months (or years!) after having a baby, this episode is for you.

Fall is one of my favorite seasonal transitions, and Ayurveda gives us such a practical way to think about supporting our bodies as the environment around us starts to change. In this episode, I'm sharing a modern approach to transitioning into fall using Ayurvedic principles, along with some of the science behind why seasonal changes can affect how we feel. We'll talk about seasonal shifts in nutrition, sleep, movement, daily routines, stress, and self-care, and how small, intentional adjustments can help you feel your best this fall.
