For this episode, I was a guest on my good friend Brigitta’s Borinstein’s podcast Motherhood Equipped, where we discussed:

• Why hormones are messengers, not the root problem—and what actually needs support first
• The biggest mistakes women make when trying to “balance hormones” postpartum
• How blood sugar instability drives anxiety, rage, fatigue, and sleep issues
• Why pregnancy and breastfeeding are deeply mineral-depleting—and which minerals matter most
• The truth about electrolytes vs. true mineral repletion
• How cortisol, progesterone, estrogen, and insulin are all interconnected
• Why liver support plays a massive role in mood, skin, and cycle recovery after birth
• What the fourth trimester really asks of your body—and why rushing recovery backfires

We also end with a fun little rapid-fire questionnaire, answering common hormonal questions. This was such a fun interview, and full of so many nuggets and insights.
