This past year has stretched me in more ways than I could have imagined.
Navigating my final postpartum journey and stepping fully into motherhood with five children has been both humbling and transformative. If I'm being honest—meal planning and cooking often took a back seat. Most days, I was simply surviving—and that survival didn’t always look picture-perfect. Sometimes it meant drive-thru dinners or skipping meals altogether, and that’s okay.

To every postpartum mama out there just trying to make it through the day with little ones alive and fed—I see you. I’ve been there too. And I want you to know: survival is still progress. It counts.

But as this new season unfolds, I’m finding a rhythm again. I’m proud to say it’s been nearly a month of consistent, home-cooked, budget-friendly meals—and it feels so good. As a functional medicine nutritionist, this is one of my favorite parts of the journey—rediscovering the joy of nourishing myself and my family, and testing out tools that make the process easier. My trusty Instant Pot (or should I say pots—I have a few now!) continues to be a game-changer.
(Not sponsored, but hey Instant Pot … I’m open to a conversation!)

I still remember when my in-laws gifted me my first one. It sat in the box for months until I finally gathered the courage to try it. Now, it gets used more than my stove!

When I say I’m not your typical nutritionist, I mean it. I’m walking this path in real time, with my own health challenges and healing journey. And you know what? It is well with my soul.

If you’ve been feeling stuck in old habits or overwhelmed by where to start—take heart. You don’t need to wait for the perfect time. Today is always a good time to begin again.

With love and grace,

I recommend requesting that your healthcare provider conduct a comprehensive iron panel throughout your pregnancy, rather than relying solely on hemoglobin levels. Waiting until the third trimester may be too late to address potential deficiencies.

"Our research clearly illustrates that iron deficiency is extremely common amongst pregnant women, even in a generally healthy population, such as this cohort in Ireland, with greater than 80% of women iron deficient in their third trimester"

Researchers have shown that over 80 percent of women are iron deficient by their third trimester. The findings raise concerns as the participants in the study were a low-risk and generally healthy cohort.

🌸 Women shouldn’t have to wait for multiple miscarriages to get their provider’s attention! 🌸

If you’ve experienced a miscarriage or are struggling with fertility, you deserve answers and support NOW, not later. Don’t wait for repeated heartbreak. Advocate for yourself—ask for comprehensive testing and early interventions.

Your body and your journey matter 💪🏼❤️

It’s time to demand the care we need, because every woman deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered on her fertility journey.

At Blissfully Nourished, we understand the journey to parenthood can be filled with questions and uncertainties.

It is unfortunate how many couples have started their fertility journey without ever having a semen analysis done on their partners.

That is why, we recommend to start with a semen analysis. It is less invasive, easy, and can provide a more comprehensive look at your fertility approach.

Don't let fertility challenges hold you back. We are dedicated to helping you achieve your dream of parenthood, in a more functional and optimal way. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and take the first step towards a brighter, fertility-filled future!
