She was drinking electrolytes, eating more protein, and doing all the “right” things… but STILL exhausted by 2 p.m. 😩

Sometimes, it’s not about doing MORE. It’s about figuring out what YOUR body actually needs.

That’s why I love taking an individualized approach to nutrition, using tools like blood work and HTMA alongside your symptoms, diet, and health history.

YOUR needs are unique and so your care plan is unique to YOU 😘

Want to learn more about HTMA and how we use it in our practice?

If I were to talk about any super food, although I don’t like that term, but I would say beans are definitely up there! They really have soooo many benefits including keeping you fuller longer which is a must with that breastfeeding hunger 😅

Start slow if you’re not used to incorporating beans and just add it here and there and slowly work up to half a cup of or more a day.

Personally, I use black beans in my breakfast eggs, we do about a quarter cup of brown lentils in our ground beef recipes, I do about a quarter cup or a bit less of white beans in canned tuna, I’ll add chickpeas to my salad, I use chickpea pasta, the list goes on.

With prices going up beans are definitely a great food to incorporate and they shouldn’t make your baby gassy. If your baby is gassy, please reach out to an IBCLC lactation consultant.

My team can help you virtually assess latch, milk, supply, tension, oral function, etc. Please do not fear beans and fear that it will make your baby gassy.

let me know how you’re incorporating beans?

Did you know that breastfeeding can protect you against osteoporosis?! 🤯

Today is World Osteoporosis Day 🦴 which is dedicated to raising global awareness of the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease 🦴

So how does breastfeeding protect you against osteoporosis?

Well during lactation, it actually does the complete opposite! Your breastmilk takes the calcium from your BONES and gives it to your baby! During lactation, your bone mass gets weaker and weaker because not only are you giving your calcium to baby, but your estrogen is lower, and estrogen protects your bones and helps with the absorption of calcium.

But after breastfeeding, your bone loss gets replaced with fresh, new bone. There are tiny micro fractures, which gets replaced and this growth makes your bones even stronger!! 🥳As a bonus, several studies confirm that breastfeeding for longer durations further improves your bone strength!

The recommended amount of calcium a breastfeeding mother needs is 1000mg. I don’t always recommend an additional calcium supplement, but to focus on calcium rich food, which is certainly possible if you’re dairy free! If you want to know what *your* calcium needs are, my hair mineral test is coming next month..stay tune!

Did you know long term breastfeeding actually protects your bones?

Adrenal cocktails, mineral mocktails, electrolytes… OH MY! 🍊⚡️

They’re all over social media, but here’s what I want you to understand:

**Just because you’re drinking electrolytes doesn’t necessarily mean you’re meeting YOUR body’s individual mineral needs.**

As a functional dietitian, I see this all the time! Women doing all the “right” things but still struggling with fatigue, brain fog, and other symptoms.

And while minerals are incredibly important, your needs depend on your diet, health history, and so much more!

This is why I’m such a big believer in personalized nutrition rather than guessing what your body needs. 👏

Curious about mineral health and how I use Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) as one tool in my practice?

🎥 I created a FREE mini training walking you through it!

You’ve tried the magnesium. The electrolytes. Maybe even a handful of supplements that someone on Instagram swore changed their life.

But how do you know what YOUR body actually needs? 🤔

As registered dietitians, this is something we want more women to understand.

**Your nutrition needs are unique to YOU.**

Your food intake, health history, symptoms, and even your season of motherhood all matter.

And minerals play a HUGE role in how our bodies function! ⚡️

They’re like your body’s little “spark plugs,” supporting energy production, muscle and nerve function, fluid balance, and so much more.

That’s why we look at the bigger picture when working with clients:

🥑 **Food intake** to identify potential nutrient gaps and prioritize food FIRST.

🩸 **Blood work** to assess certain nutrient deficiencies and other possible contributors to your symptoms.

✂️ **Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)** to assess mineral concentrations in hair (tissue) as an additional piece of information alongside your health history and nutrition intake.

But here’s what I REALLY want you to understand...

**It’s not just about getting a test. It’s about knowing what to DO with the information.** 🙌🏼

That’s why our HTMA bundle includes a mailed test kit, personalized video interpretation, customized nutrition care plan, AND a 30-minute consult.

🎉 Our Black Friday HTMA bundle is coming back NEXT MONTH! We only open this offer to the public twice a year, with just 50 spots available.

Curious if it’s right for you?

🎥 I recorded a FREE mini training showing you what HTMA is, how we use it with clients, and what’s included in our bundle!

October 15th is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.

To the mama who has experienced a miscarriage, stillbirth, or the loss of a baby, I’m so deeply sorry.

There are no words that can take away the heartbreak of losing a baby 💔

And while you’re navigating all of this emotionally, your body may also be going through its own recovery.

The bleeding, cramping, hormonal shifts, exhaustion, and physical changes can be a lot to navigate on top of grief.

As a dietitian, I want to gently remind you that **your body still deserves nourishment, even when your heart is hurting.**

And nourishment doesn’t need to look like perfectly balanced meals or elaborate recipes.

It can look like:
🤍 A warm bowl of soup someone made for you.
🤍 Toast and eggs when you don’t feel like cooking.
🤍 Iron-rich foods to support recovery after blood loss.
🤍 Sipping broth or water + electrolytes throughout the day.
🤍 Letting someone else handle the groceries and meals.

And if you’re someone supporting a loved one through pregnancy or infant loss, please don’t underestimate the power of showing up with a meal, stocking their fridge, or simply sitting beside them.

Sometimes the most meaningful support isn’t asking what they need. It’s taking something off their plate.

If you feel comfortable, you’re welcome to share your baby’s name or a 🤍 in their memory. There’s no pressure to share.

Sending so much love to every family remembering a baby today. 🕊️

Today is World Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day. For those who have walked through this, I am so incredibly sorry! My heart hurts and mourns with you 💔

I’ve been asked in the past about what to do with your milk after infant loss so I thought I’d speak on this.
Your body doesn’t know it’s lost a baby and will go through the normal physiological process and make milk.

For some parents, they’d like to dry up their milk supply especially after a devastating experience.
For others, donating can be a way they honor their baby as well as help others. For some, donating may help with their grief.

There’s no right or wrong answer on what to do with your milk and it’s really up to you.
I thought I’d cover both avenues - donating or drying up.

If you’ve gone through this and want to share what you did, please do so. I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through ❤️‍🩹

My sister had a baby!! 🥹❤️ And while I was excited to meet and snuggle the newest little addition, I also wanted to make sure SHE was being taken care of, too.

We spend SO much time preparing for the baby, but not nearly enough time preparing to care for the mother.

She’s recovering from pregnancy and birth, adjusting to broken sleep, navigating breastfeeding, and trying to meet everyone else’s needs while her own often get pushed aside.

As a dietitian, IBCLC, and mom of 4, I know just how much nourishment and support matter during this season.

So I did what I could. Made her meals, helped around the house, encouraged her to get outside, supported her with breastfeeding, and made sure she had moments to rest.
Nothing fancy. Just practical ways to help her feel cared for.

Postpartum support isn’t just about helping with the baby. It’s about mothering the mother, too.

And if you’re a postpartum mom feeling completely exhausted, I want you to know that while broken sleep is part of this season, there ARE ways to support your energy through nutrition and lifestyle.
I created a FREE Energy Guide to help you do just that!

Comment ENERGY and I’ll send it your way! 🫶🏼

And I’d love to know: What’s one thing someone did for YOU postpartum that made you feel supported?

I’ve seen fellow health practitioners dismiss electrolyte supplements, but there’s more nuance to this conversation.

As a dietitian, I help my clients prioritize mineral-rich FOODS first, then consider whether a DIY mineral mocktail or electrolyte packet makes sense for their individual needs.

I work primarily with women during pregnancy and postpartum, and some of my clients report feeling better when we incorporate electrolyte drinks alongside nourishing meals.

Personally, I use a mix! Food is my foundation, but I often reach for packets because they’re quick and convenient in this season of motherhood.

Everyone needs electrolytes. Whether you need an electrolyte drink and which one depends on your food intake, fluid losses, and health history.

Want some practical options? My FREE Mineral Guide includes mineral-rich foods, DIY mineral mocktail recipes, and some of my favorite products.
