Healing Hormones

Today’s episode is very near and dear to my heart because I am speaking with my personal therapist, Tiffani Rose-Wilhelm. She is an independently certified social worker, lactation counselor, and certified perinatal mental health coach. She has been an incredible part of my postpartum journey. There are many women out there who are willing to open up about mental health, and it’s so important that we do! Tiffani shares what women should look out for when it comes to anxiety, depression, or just not feeling like yourself. Whether that’s you, someone you know, or you just want to be prepared for anything – this is the episode for you.

We Chat About:

• What new and expecting mothers can do to gain awareness around postpartum depression + anxiety
• Dealing with shame around the postpartum period
• How to disrupt intrusive thoughts
• Fighting the stigma around medication
• The importance of being flexible about your birthing journey

Postpartum body repair is part of the childbirth process no one prepares you for. So many moms ignore it altogether and scramble to the spin class the minute they get the OK from their OB. Yet, if you’re anything like me, jumping back into working out can feel like your organs will flip flop onto the yoga mat. There’s a voice inside your head whispering, “Something doesn’t feel right.” I decided to listen to that voice, and turned to today’s guest: pilates instructor, pre and post-natal care expert, and mother, Amy White. 

We delve into how to re-configure, and re-balance your body after birth, and lift the lid on what’s really going on internally, from pelvic floor to diastasis and everything in between. Plus: you’ll get the intel on her Postpartum Repair Program, and how it can help you heal and strengthen your body during your postpartum journey. 

We Chat About:

• The lack of satisfactory postpartum care information
• How to reposition the body after labor 
• Pelvic floor deep dive 
• Unpacking the Postpartum Repair Program 
• Strengthening your body vs losing “the baby weight”
• The differences between vaginal and C-section body recovery

Mallory Whitmore is a mom of two, educator, advocate, and certified infant feeding tech. She’s the face behind The Formula Mom, an online platform that helps new parents make informed, confident, and supportive infant feeding decisions without all the guilt and shame. We rarely hear information about baby formula, despite the fact that 75% of babies are formula-fed. Mallory Whitmore felt shame around having to feed her child formula, and frustration around the lack of resources out there. She set out to do the research herself and become a resource for other moms to stop feeling bad about using formula, and that’s when The Formula Mom was born. We talk about how to choose the formula that’s right for you, how you can ease the emotions and guilt that can accompany the decision to switch to formula, and other pieces of guidance, information, science, and more. Any decision you make towards feeding your child is the right decision as long as it’s the right one for you.

We Chat About:

• What inspired Mallory to start The Formula Mom
• Why formula is stigmatized
• How to decide what formula to use
• The misinformation around breast milk benefits
• The mental health cost of pumping

As a fertility awareness educator, cervical mucus is always on my mind – as weird as that may sound! It’s an important bodily function, and, today, I want to talk about the role it plays in conception. Without producing enough (or the right kind of) CM, it’s going to be difficult to conceive. I’m going to share why it’s so important, how to make sure you’re checking accurately, and touch on five research-backed ways to improve CM production.

We Chat About:

• Why cervical mucus is so important for conception
• How to check CM accurately
• Testing your nutrition and minerals
• The importance of staying hydrated
• Things to avoid for healthy CM
• CM-supportive herbs and vitamins

As you know, I’m a big fan of the fertility awareness method! As a certified instructor, I get a lot of questions about how to use FAM if you have an inconsistent cycle, whether due to PCOS, irregular periods, or you’re postpartum. It can be a challenge using FAM during periods of inconsistent cycles, but it is still so incredibly valuable. I’m going to share how to make it work during these periods, as well as answer some other common questions: how to use fertility awareness with or without a consistent partner and who else FAM is for.

We Chat About:

• How FAM gives you control when you’re period is inconsistent
• What FAM looks like with irregular cycles
• Using FAM for birth control with inconsistent periods
• Using FAM postpartum
• Getting your partner on board

Note: I’m working on creating some incredible new episodes for the podcast. In the meantime, here’s one of our most popular episodes with Jessica Ash!

Jessica Ash is a functional nutritionist who coaches and educates women on all things hormones, primarily working with women who’ve struggled with PCOS and thyroid issues, teaching them how to nourish their bodies and master their metabolism. We have these blanket statements of what we should do or what we should cut out of our diet, and it doesn’t always work. Why is it that when someone is doing all the “right things,” they can still not feel their best? Because there’s a new way to look at our body, and that’s from the angle of serving and supporting our metabolism. Jessica explains why healing the metabolism is so important in an easy to digest way.

We Chat About:

• How Jessica ditched the standard hormone advice
• Eating for your metabolism
• Testing out the gluten free diet
• Taking a HTMA test
• Fiber: take it or leave it?
• The carbs you’re encouraged to take
• Food combining or eating a balanced meal
• Dealing with PCOS
• Intermittent fasting
• How you should feel during your luteal phase
