Pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood—they’re some of the most transformative seasons of life, and they can also be some of the most challenging when it comes to nourishing ourselves.

Between growing a baby, healing postpartum, and chasing little ones around, it can feel impossible to prioritize our own health and nutrition!

In this episode, I’m sharing how I approach nourishment in these seasons of life, from the foods that fuel me during pregnancy to the simple meals that keep me going as a mom.

And if you’re looking for inspiration in your own kitchen, my new cookbook, The Winter Table Cookbook, is packed with recipes that are not only nourishing but also practical for busy moms. From bone broth-based soups to protein-packed breakfasts, it’s the ultimate guide to feeling good this winter.

Katy Whalen is on a mission to help women take back control of their health and feel their best from the inside out. 

After navigating her own long and challenging journey through infertility, miscarriages, IVF, and postpartum recovery, Katy found herself drained—fatigued, hormonal, battling brain fog, and wondering why the system that had supported her through fertility treatments seemed to stop caring once her baby was born.

By diving deep into her biomarkers, balancing her hormones, and incorporating peptides, she finally began to feel alive again—with the energy and vitality she needed to care for the family she had worked so hard to create. 

But Katy didn’t stop there. She wanted other women to experience that same transformation, so Joi Wellness was born.

Through Joi, Katy and her team empower women to manage their health holistically with innovative therapies like peptide treatments, all delivered virtually to make care accessible and personalized. In today’s conversation, we’re diving into women’s metabolic health, the game-changing benefits of peptide therapy, and some of the myths and misconceptions around GLP-1 medications like semaglutide.

If you’ve ever felt like the healthcare system left you without answers—or you’ve been curious about the buzz around peptides and treatments like Ozempic—this is the episode for you!

Let’s start taking charge of our health, one step at a time. Follow Joi Women’s Wellness on Instagram @joiwomenswellness and check out their smart supplements and peptide therapies for personalized health support on their website!

I never thought a simple change could have such a massive impact on my parenting and my three-year-old’s behavior. 

As a mom, entrepreneur, and firm believer in living life on our own terms, I’ve always leaned into a more “crunchy” and holistic approach. But despite my best efforts, I started noticing something troubling—meltdowns, restlessness, and a shift in my child’s mood that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. 

It wasn’t until I took a hard look at one seemingly harmless habit—screen time—that everything clicked. What happened next completely transformed our home, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

Today I’m chatting with Jenn Thatcher, who left a successful career as an international artist to found ZEBRA. Jenn believes her children were victims of dirty products and a system that is designed to trick consumers. 

After her son Jack’s diagnosis of a brain tumor made her even more vigilant at researching every single ingredient in the products her family was using, she realized that products are really not always as natural as they seem. She decided if she wanted something truly safe, and high performance she was going to have to create it herself. 

This is how ZEBRA was born.

ZEBRA is a non-toxic, freedom-loving brand who answers to no one but the Creator himself and I LOVED our conversation about what makes ZEBRA different from other brands on the market, the ingredients she chose to include and exclude from her formulas, and most importantly: WHY.

Whether you’re in the thick of it now or preparing for postpartum down the road, I hope this episode feels like a warm hug from someone who’s been there.

And because I know how hectic those days can get, I want to introduce you to my new cookbook, The Winter Table Cookbook.

Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of raw dairy with Mark McAfee—exploring its benefits, debunking common myths, and learning about how Mark is bringing this ancient food tradition back to our tables!

Mark is an experienced dairy farmer and owner of RAW FARM, which was founded in 1998 on the belief that raw dairy products are a foundational food and could be produced safely. Since then, they have brought tested and raw dairy products across the USA. 

RAW FARM takes the most important food designed for human-kind and meticulously crafts it (but not alters it) so that our families can enjoy each savory and rich flavor. Their raw milk from seasonally grass-grazed cows is the most natural way dairy products can be produced – the same way they have naturally grazed since primal eras!
