2 months postpartum and half my closet is still off-limits. This is my third time around so I know how it goes. You can't rush your body. It's no fun trying to fight it.

Here are my top tips that have actually helped me feel like myself again without stressing.

+ Wear what fits now and leave the rest
+ Invest in a few feel good basics that you can still wear later
+ Consider a temporary clothing rental subscription (I have used and loved during my pregnancy!)
+ Lean into fun accessories you already own (jewelry, cute socks/sneakers, your favorite sunnies or baseball cap)

You don't need to earn the right to feel good in your body now. Save this if you needed the reminder. 🤎

8 weeks postpartum and this is what's actually on my plate 🤍

Supportive meals that are working for me right now.

As a nutritional therapist and pre/postnatal trainer, I know what my body needs to recover - but I also have a 4 year old, a toddler, a newborn, and approximately zero time to overthink meals.

So I keep it simple:
→ Protein first, every single meal
→ Blood sugar steady = energy steadier, mood steadier, recovery faster
→ Whole foods my whole family will actually eat

What you're seeing:
🥘 Ground turkey + cauliflower casserole
🥚 Whipped scrambled eggs + cottage cheese + herbs
🍗 Chicken thighs, sauerkraut + roasted veggies
🥩 Ground beef, roasted potatoes + broccoli
🥗 Sweetgreen bowl built around steak + healthy fats

Not sure how to eat to fuel your postpartum body? Enter the Mama Nourish Nutrition Audit - created to help you figure out exactly how to structure your meals for your symptoms, your life, and your goals.

If you're postpartum and feeling off, the link in my bio is a good place to start 🤎

5 signs your postpartum body needs more support

Sign 1: Hair loss that feels like more than just shedding - low protein, iron, and zinc are the most common nutritional drivers of postpartum hair loss. And they're fixable through diet.

Sign 2: Craving sugar after every single meal - this is your body asking for more protein and stable blood sugar, not more willpower.

Sign 3: Wired but exhausted - deep fatigue is often iron, B vitamins, or protein depletion. Not just a sleep problem.

Sign 4: Mood swings and rage that feel out of character - your brain runs on nutrients. Omega-3s, magnesium, and protein directly affect mood. Depletion shows up emotionally first.

Sign 5: Slow or stalled recovery - your body needs specific nutrients to rebuild postpartum. Without them, recovery stalls.

Your nutrition postpartum isn't just about eating healthy - it's about eating for what your body just went through.

This is exactly what my Mama Nourish Nutrition Audit was made for - a custom plan built around your symptoms, your body, and this season. Comment → AUDIT and I'll send you the details. 🤎

No one handed me a recovery plan after having my first baby and I suffered for it. So by baby #3, I made my own.

Step 1: Run labs - thyroid, hormones, blood sugar, minerals (the full gamut)

Step 2: Rebuild with high protein, real food, and minerals

Step 3: Layer in movement: baby wearing walks + pelvic floor/core rehab first and then progress appropriately over time

Step 4: Support blood sugar and nervous system with a CGM

This is also the exact framework I use with my coaching clients.

If you're postpartum and still not feeling like yourself this is the work we can do.
