Today, I am going to be speaking with Alexandra Paetow of the instagram account @postpartumnutritionist. Alexandra is a dietitian nutritionist, specializing in the postpartum period, as well as pregnancy and pre-conception. 

On her instagram account, Alexandra shares a lot of information about how we can eat, and what we can eat, to heal and fuel our bodies during the postpartum period, but she also talks a about trusting yourself, and allowing your intuition and self-love to guide the way you eat, exercise, and share food-related experiences with your family. 

During our conversation, Alexandra shared a lot of really practical tips and guidance when it comes to eating to fuel yourself, and if you happen to be breastfeeding, your baby, but she also made it clear that there’s no one-size fits all solution, and that food should be fuel, but it should also be joyful and easy—especially during a time of our lives when NOTHING seems easy.
