In this episode of The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast we are talking ALL about postpartum nutrition – and specifically functional nutrition!
I admit before I recorded this episode I really didn’t understand what functional nutrition was…but it’s SO interesting how our hormones and body systems are connected to what we eat!
Today I had Alison from Motherwell Nutrition on the podcast, and we chatted all about hormonal imbalances post-birth. She discussed how to support our bodies through this period of change, some great ways to move your body in addition to focusing on your nutritional needs, and how to find a functional nutritionist in your area if you want to learn more.
Here you’ll find a peek into what we talked about!
Here are the postpartum nutrition topics we discuss:
- About Alison and her amazing platform and work
- In simple terms, how are our hormones and body systems connected to what we eat?
- Can you tell us a bit about what’s going on in the body after birth in terms of hormones?
- What can we do to support our bodies during this period of extreme change?
- What is your response to the term “get your body back after baby?”
- How does fitness and movement couple with the nutritional component?
- How can someone find a functional nutritionist? Is this typically covered by insurance?
- What other resources do you offer that can help our listeners?
