    Why Postpartum Recovery Needs More Than a 6-Week Checkup

    April 19, 2025 /

    When I had my first baby, I remember counting down to my 6-week postpartum appointment like it was some magical finish line.I thought: Once I get cleared, everything will feel normal again. But when that quick 10-minute checkup ended with a “You’re good, see you next year,” I walked to my car holding back tears.I didn’t feel “good.” I didn’t feel “cleared.”I felt exhausted, overwhelmed, and completely unprepared for what real postpartum healing actually looked like. The truth is, postpartum recovery doesn’t fit neatly into a 6-week box — and if you’re feeling that too, you’re not broken.You’re normal.And you deserve more. So What Does Real Healing Look Like? It looks…

    April 12, 2025 /

    Whether you’re one week or one year postpartum, what you eat matters. I’m sharing this from the heart (and from experience—seven babies later!) because postpartum nutrition is one of the most overlooked yet powerful tools for helping moms feel like themselves again. Food is not just fuel—it’s medicine. Especially after the wild, beautiful marathon of growing and birthing a baby. Let’s dive into the why behind intentional postpartum nourishment, what foods help the most, and some of the exact protocols I personally use and recommend to my clients. Why Postpartum Nutrition Is So Important During pregnancy, your body gives and gives—transferring nutrients like iron, calcium, B vitamins, essential fatty acids, and protein to your…

    The Busy Mom’s Guide to Cycle Syncing (for Hormone Balance & More Energy!)

    March 12, 2025 /

    What is Cycle Syncing, and Why Does It Matter? Cycle syncing is the practice of adjusting your nutrition, movement, and lifestyle to align with the four phases of your menstrual cycle. When we work with our hormones instead of against them, we can experience better energy, balanced moods, reduced PMS symptoms, and improved overall health. If you’ve ever felt like your workouts, productivity, or food cravings fluctuate throughout the month—you’re not imagining it. Your hormones shift in predictable ways, and when you learn to support them, you’ll start to thrive instead of feeling like you’re constantly playing catch-up. The Four Phases of Your Cycle (and How to Support Each One!) 1. Menstrual Phase (Days 1-5)…

    As a mom of seven, I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to navigate the sea of information on living a healthier lifestyle. Over the past 13 years, I’ve been on a journey toward a more holistic and balanced life, and I’ve learned that sometimes, simplicity is key. If I had to start over and focus on just a few core habits, here’s what I would do: 1. Read My Bible Every Day One of the most grounding practices in my life is spending time in the Word each day. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, but starting the day with scripture helps center…

    I’VE HAD ENOUGH! I’m spilling the tea on melatonin!

    September 3, 2023 /

    Making this swap is important for your sleep and overall health. This also goes for NyQuil, Sleeping aids or even Benadryl. (All things people have shared with me so they could get to sleep) Cutting out melatonin use is very important, mostly because it teaches your body to not naturally make it and you can become dependent on artificial forms. Melatonin is ubiquitous. It is present in nearly all life forms, including plants and animals, and even single cell organisms. Evolutionarily, it dates back billions of years serving essential cellular processes with its antioxidant and free radical scavenging functions, and more recently as a key element in the regulation of circadian rhythms and…
