Postpartum Q&A: What’s “Normal” During Recovery, Breastfeeding, Energy, Metabolism, Hormones, Gut Health + More
EPISODE #93 — MAY 22, 2026
In this episode, I’m answering your postpartum questions and talking through some of the most common things women experience after having a baby – physically, mentally, and emotionally. We get into exhaustion, hormones, digestion, breastfeeding, metabolism, nervous system stress, and recovery timelines. I also share my perspective on postpartum healing from both a personal and practitioner standpoint on what’s “normal” versus what may be a sign your body needs more support.
