This is the fourth episode of our fertility mini-series and we’re discussing a season of pregnancy that’s often dismissed: postpartum. I break down what’s happening in your body after the birth—from the hormonal crash to thyroid shifts, nutrient depletion, and gut changes—and why healing takes far longer than six weeks. We’ll talk about the signs your body may still be in recovery, how to nourish yourself through this phase, and the functional lab tests I use with clients to map out their healing. The focus is not on “bouncing back”—rather rebuilding with the intention and care you deserve.
