The postpartum body is not designed to “bounce back” without deep, intentional nourishment—and the lack of education around depletion is failing mothers every single day. 

BUT… hardly anyone in mainstream medicine is addressing: nutrient depletion and its long-term consequences. If you've ever wondered why so many postpartum women struggle with autoimmune diseases like hashimoto's, thyroid imbalances, depression, and chronic fatigue, this episode is going to blow your mind.

Maranda is interviewed by Holly Stein of Eat Mama Meals to break down exactly what happens to a postpartum body when key nutrients are depleted. They explore how postpartum depletion is more than just “feeling run-down”—it can actually lay the foundation for chronic disease and dysfunction. From why iron, magnesium, vitamin D, and omega-3s are essential for recovery to how depletion fuels inflammation, hormone imbalances, and gut issues, this episode is packed with critical, research-backed information every postpartum provider needs to know.

If you’re working with postpartum moms as a provider, doula or holistic health provider, understanding the long-term impact of depletion is non-negotiable. Learn how to recognize the warning signs, help moms replete their bodies, and prevent the all-too-common cycle of burnout, illness, and frustration.
