Pregnancy & Postpartum Recovery: A Mini Case Study on Nourishing Your Body, Replenishing Nutrients, and Preventing Depletion
EPISODE #84 — MAR 20, 2026
In this episode, I’m walking you through a client case study that highlights how important nutrition is during pregnancy and postpartum. These are two of the most demanding phases for your body, and many women are still undernourished going into them. I break down what happens in your body during pregnancy when nutrients are low. We also talk about how this can show up postpartum and the key foundations that make the biggest difference in avoiding depletion and replenishing essential nutrients.
