Postpartum recovery isn’t just about the first 6 weeks after birth; it's about the first 6 YEARS.

at Postpartum University, we focus on lasting nourishment that supports a mother’s mind, body, and soul for years to come.

In this episode, I’m digging into the misconceptions around postpartum nutrition—everything from what foods support real healing to how nutrient deficiencies impact mental health, hormones, and even immune function.

For postpartum professionals, this is a must-hear episode that challenges common myths and empowers you with the tools to help clients truly thrive. Join me as we uncover the real story behind postpartum nutrition and discover practical ways to support moms in long-term healing.
