A hill I’ll die on: every woman deserves labs at her 6-week postpartum visit.

Not just a quick “you’re cleared for exercise” and sent on your way…

The postpartum period is one of the most physiologically demanding times in a woman’s life, yet most care stops right when recovery actually begins.

If you’re experiencing things like:
• extreme fatigue
• hair loss
• anxiety or mood swings
• brain fog
• heart palpitations
• feeling “off” but being told everything is normal
…it may be worth looking deeper.

Some of the labs I like to see around 6 weeks postpartum include:
• ferritin (iron stores)
• a full thyroid panel
• vitamin D
• B12
• fasting glucose or A1C
• mineral status like magnesium

Because sometimes what gets dismissed as “just postpartum” can actually be nutrient depletion, thyroid shifts, or blood sugar instability.

Supporting postpartum recovery starts with good information about what your body actually needs.

If you’re not sure where to start, I put together a Postpartum Lab Bundle that walks through the labs I commonly recommend, what they mean, and how to use them to support recovery after birth.

It’s designed to help you feel more informed and more empowered when advocating for your health in the postpartum season.

Blood sugar balance is one of the most underrated foundations for steady energy, stable hormones, and fewer cravings.

When snacks are mostly carbs on their own, it’s easy to ride the blood sugar rollercoaster — quick spike, quick crash, and suddenly you’re tired, shaky, or reaching for more sugar.

The simple shift? Pair your macros.

Adding protein, fat, or both helps slow glucose absorption, support metabolic health, and keep you full longer. This is especially helpful for:

• hormone balance
• pregnancy & postpartum
• stable mood and energy
• reducing afternoon crashes

Some of my favorite blood sugar balancing snack ideas:
• Prosciutto + melon
• Cottage cheese + fruit
• Raw milk smoothie
• Cucumber slices with smoked salmon + cream cheese
• Avocado toast + boiled egg
• Tuna salad over apple slices
• Sardines + crackers
• Chicharrones with cheese

Save this for snack inspiration later and tell me:

A few weeks ago, I posted in stories about blood sugar imbalances during pregnancy and how having a macrosomic baby (over 10 lbs) can point to possible blood sugar dysregulation.

… and my DMs were full of mom’s reaching out about blood sugar balances and that correlating to having a larger baby!

These were mostly women who did not have gestational diabetes and they felt very under equipped when it came to understanding how to balance their blood sugar.

so this week, I’m creating a little mini series around blood sugar balance in pregnancy to serve as a resource for those looking for additional support!

I’ve also created a free meal plan, dedicated to blood sugar, balance, and gestational diabetes management in pregnancy!

As daylight increases, your body begins recalibrating cortisol rhythm, melatonin production, histamine response, and reproductive hormones.

If you’ve been feeling more wired, allergy-prone, tired, or emotionally sensitive lately… you’re not imagining it. This is the exact time your body needs support the most!

Here’s my Spring Hormone Support Roadmap I share with clients every year:
• Start your day with minerals + hydration (magnesium, sodium, potassium, trace minerals)
• Get early morning sunlight to anchor your circadian rhythm
• Support seasonal histamine shifts with nutrients + herbs like vitamin C, nettles, quercetin, and bee pollen
• Prioritize blood sugar stability with consistent meals and a nourishing breakfast
• Eat seasonally — leafy greens, herbs, berries, citrus, and spring veggies
• Support bile flow (not aggressive detoxing) with bitters like arugula, radicchio, and dandelion greens
• Create daily nervous system downshifts to support progesterone, sleep, and emotional balance

Spring is traditionally the season of renewal… small daily inputs can make a huge difference in hormone stability, energy, mood, and allergy resilience.

Eat your electrolytes 🍉💦

Electrolyte powders are great and they have their place - but I always like to reiterate the hydration that comes from these real food sources. Often times, electrolytes have additives and it can be difficult to source the perfect option.

Try adding these into your daily routine for added hydration in pregnancy + postpartum!

The first week postpartum isn’t the time for salads and smoothies…

It’s the time for warm, mineral-rich, deeply nourishing foods that rebuild what birth asked of your body.

Think:
• Slow-simmered bone broth soups
• Kitchari + congee for easy digestion
• Smoked oysters for zinc + minerals
• Beef liver pâté for iron + B12
• Oxtail + shank stews for collagen + glycine
• Protein-rich frittatas for steady blood sugar

Your body is healing a wound the size of a dinner plate.
You deserve food that supports that level of repair.

This is exactly why I created my Postpartum Meal Prep Guide — so you (or someone who loves you) can prepare ahead with strategic, freezer-friendly recipes designed to:
✨ Replenish iron + minerals
✨ Support milk supply
✨ Stabilize blood sugar
✨ Restore nervous system reserves
✨ Promote tissue healing

No guesswork. No standing in the kitchen exhausted.

Just intentional nourishment ready when you need it most.

If this is all you’re eating for breakfast in pregnancy… we need to talk…

Two eggs and white toast isn’t “bad.” But for pregnancy? It’s incomplete.

During pregnancy your:
• Insulin sensitivity shifts
• Nutrient demands increase
• Blood sugar becomes more reactive
• Hormones are more sensitive to spikes and crashes

And breakfast sets the metabolic tone for the entire day.
A pregnancy-supportive breakfast should include:

✔ 25–35g protein
✔ Fiber to stabilize glucose
✔ Quality fats for hormone balance
✔ Mineral density
✔ Antioxidant-rich carbohydrates
✔ Adequate choline for baby’s brain development

When we balance blood sugar in pregnancy, we support:
• Steadier energy
• Fewer nausea swings
• Reduced risk for gestational diabetes
• Healthier fetal growth patterns
• More stable mood

This is exactly what I teach inside my Wild & Well Pregnancy Foundations Course — how to build strategic, blood-sugar-balanced meals for every trimester without restriction or overwhelm.

If you’re pregnant (or planning to be) and want to feel confident about how you’re fueling your body and your baby, this course walks you through it step-by-step.
