62. Postpartum Healing and Nutrition with Lily Nichols
Episode description
There's an abundance of guidance and care taken over pregnancy, but rarely is the postpartum period discussed.
Once we have children we're expected to go on our way and bounce back as soon as possible. But are the expectations of our Western society making us sick? Have you ever considered if you've fully recovered and replenished yourself after having kids? Like so many of us mum's, the chances are you havn't.
Lily Nichols is a Registered Dietitian/Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Educator, researcher, and author with a passion for evidence-based prenatal nutrition.
She's founder of the Institute for Prenatal Nutrition™, co-founder of the Women’s Health Nutrition Academy and the author of two books, Real Food for Pregnancy and Real Food for Gestational Diabetes.
