In this episode of the Holistically Well Podcast, Dr. Kayla Borchers and women's health nurse and certified FEM instructor, Cassie Subler, share an insightful discussion on navigating postpartum fertility.

Whether you're trying to conceive again or just want to understand your body better, this conversation offers guidance, encouragement, and clarity for new moms.

Takeaways:

  • Ovulation can return before your first postpartum period, making it crucial to understand fertility signs.
