Dr. Suuzi Hazen is a mother, wife, farmer and founder of Mother's Best Liver Pills, the one and only handmade, non-white-label, California-sourced beef liver supplement. Suuzi is passionate about supporting women and mothers to fill their own cup, so they can enjoy life with vibrant energy and a resilient spirit. She combines her background in traditional Chinese medicine with an understanding of bioenergetic health in service of the female body. Years of farming and raising dairy goats has also brought gritty awareness of what it takes to bring forth life from the earth.

We talk about:

• What does white label actually mean, and what makes Mother's Best liver pills different?
• Loving women by sharing liver! The feminine urge to nourish your friends.
• The through-line of trusting intuition and and the signals of the body over dogma and rules.
• Suuzi's first pregnancy experience with intense morning sickness leaving her unable to eat well, leading to undernourishment, excessive weight gain, swelling, and ultimately her birth experience with a castor oil induction leading to a wild near death experience, and an emergency cesarean.
• Her completely different experience in her second pregnancy with morning sickness management, a nourishing diet, and a simple pregnancy and birth. Nothing is random - there are track set down through our inheritance and the ways we care for ourselves, and ways to nourish and balance our bodies to prevent or avoid pregnancy and health consequences.
• Suuzi's top health tip: eat 3 healthy nourishing meals a day!
• That tension between our inner voice (our body's voice) and mental understanding - and how to follow your deepest knowing when its time.
• Suuzi's journey with intermittent fasting for weight loss as a mom of young boys which led to a deep yang depletion and gaining weight - into metabolic collapse
• If fasting isn't great for most women's metabolism, how does spiritual fasting fit into this picture?
• What it takes to crawl back out of the hole of complete exhaustion
• Our current breakfasts- and suggestion for a slow ramp up instead of jumping in with three feet.
• Seeing facade and creating. That without even building foundation
• Breastfeeding and pregnancy from a TCM lens - an uncommon perspective.
• Gentle wise woman nourishment as the path of motherhood and womanhood - not to allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by information and comparison, but focusing on our nourishment and the bowl of soup in front of us.
