Most postpartum blood tests come back "normal" and you're sent on your way. But normal and optimal are two very different things, especially when you're a few months out from growing and birthing a human.

In this episode Shelley and Katherine are getting into exactly what blood work you should be asking for in early postpartum, what the ideal reference ranges actually look like from a postpartum lens, and why the standard ranges your GP uses probably aren't cutting it.

They also do something a little different this episode and analyse Katherine's own blood work from three months postpartum in real time. No filter, no perfecting it first. Just two nutritionists breaking it down together so you can hear what it actually sounds like to look at results with a trained eye.

They talk about why working with a practitioner who understands postpartum physiology is so important, and what to look for when you're trying to find someone qualified to help you navigate this season properly.

If you've ever been told your results look fine but you still feel anything but, this one is for you.
