These are 3 of my must-do’s in the postpartum period whether you’re 1 week, 1 month or 1+ years postpartum
1. Optimise your diet
- Ensuring you have adequate fibre, protein and fat at every meal and you are eating at regular intervals throughout the day to support blood sugar and energy levels.
- Avoiding processed foods where possible - Whole foods are preferred but I get it, sometimes life gets in the way and that is totally okay.
- Being aware of what you’re putting in your body and acknowledging how it makes you feel. I guarantee a coffee on an empty stomach in the morning hits different to a protein filled breakfast such as eggs and avocado on sourdough with a coffee. Small change but miles apart in terms of how it affects you mentally and physically.
- Getting enough H20. Too often we forget to drink water and wonder why we have brain fog, poor digestion, brittle hair skin and nails. Get yourself a drink bottle and refill, refill, refill throughout the day.
2. Optimise your supplement protocol
- Find someone who can tailor your supplements. You may not need any, but you may need some to support your system. Finding the right type of supplements is important so that a) you correctly fix any deficiencies and b) you don’t waste your money! If you want an optimised protocol, DM me to book a consult.
3. Prioritise self care
- Find find what makes you smile from the inside and latch onto it. It could be a daily walk, or stretch in the morning or maybe even committing to going to bed earlier than usual. For some it might be time at the gym or the sauna, or simply reading a book for an hour alone with a hot coffee or tea (yes, I said hot, because most of the time a mum’s coffee goes cold. IYKYK)
Hit save if any of these resonate with you so you are reminded later on 🤍
