Michelle talks to Kim Perez about weight loss in the postpartum. We talk about both losing too much weight and having trouble losing weight after having a baby. Kim goes deep into what is happen hormonally immediately after having a baby as well as some of the changes that happen around the time baby starts solids if mom is breastfeeding. She talks about what is considered normal and what you can expect, and also when you might have something off in your hormone health. Part of what we want to communicate in this episode is that it can be totally healthy for your body to hold on to weight during breastfeeding and postpartum healing.

This week Michelle talks to Megan Garcia, a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and expert in baby nutrition. In this episode we talked about placenta consumption postpartum. She speaks to the properties of the placenta from a TCM perspective, and expresses concerns with how the hormones in the placenta can interfere with hormones needed for breastfeeding. I share about my positive experience consuming my placenta, and I left this conversation understanding that a lot better. This episode does not give a clear one-size-fits-all answer, but it provides a lot of information if this is something you are considering.

This week Michelle talks to Lindsay Mumma, Chiropractor and prenatal and postpartum fitness educator. She has an incredible wealth of knowledge on recovery after having a baby and how rest and slow rehabilitation set you up for a better recovery. We talk about what the early days postpartum should look like - what does the 2 weeks in bed and 2 weeks near the bed rule really mean. And we talk about what to look for when you are ready to start moving, what movements work the best and how you can use this time of healing in a profound way to really connect with what your body needs. We also talk about swimming during pregnancy and the benefits of chiropractic care during the pregnancy and postpartum periods.

Michelle talks to Alyssa Miller of Mama and Me RD about establishing healthy eating habits for toddlers. She goes through a method where parents make the decision about what to serve and when, but give the kids the autonomy to decide which foods to eat and how much of them. She talks about when picky eating generally starts and what we can do. We go into so many details around what to do if your toddler is getting up from the table frequently or is sneaking foods. We also talk a bit about how to start with feeding babies to avoid picky eating, and how to include "safe foods" on your kids plates. Then we talk through how the parent's diet and their relationship with food impacts how our kids eat.

Michelle talks to Victoria Richards about the endocrine system - which includes all of our female hormones. We talk about xenoestrogens, substances that imatate estrogen in the body, and how they can disrupt normal hormone balance in the body. We also go through how they can effect your cycle and your fertility. Then we talk about where you can find them in your foods, personal care products and in your home - then swaps you can make to reduce your exposure to endocrine disruptors. We also talk about how these harmful substances are not regulated by the FDA and are hard to identify on product packaging. Viki gives us actionable steps to make small changes, and tips on detoxifying from the substances we already have in our bodies.
