Office Hours: Your Pregnancy & Postpartum Questions Answered

Office Hours: Your Pregnancy & Postpartum Questions Answered

Pregnancy doesn’t just change your life—it transforms your entire biology. Hormones shift, metabolism adapts, nutrient needs increase, and your nervous system recalibrates in ways most women are never fully prepared for. And after birth, the postpartum phase can be one of the most overlooked and underserved stages of a woman’s health. In this episode, I answer your most common questions, including: • How to choose the right prenatal vitamins—including why methylated folate matters and the difference between folate and folic acid • Natural ways to manage common pregnancy symptoms like nausea, heartburn, sciatica, and fatigue • Key nutrition strategies during pregnancy to support both mother and baby • What happens during postpartum—from hormone and thyroid shifts to hair loss, immune changes, pelvic floor recovery, and C-section healing Pregnancy and postpartum aren’t separate events—they’re part of a continuous biological transition that affects hormones, metabolism, and overall health. The goal isn’t perfection. It’s understanding what your body is going through and supporting it with the right nutrients, habits, and care so you can recover, rebuild, and thrive.
