  • By admin
  • In All Posts, Nutrition, Podcasts

The topic of inflammation is one that I am incredibly passionate about. It is a work of science that is continually growing at really fast rates.

What I’m going to be sharing with you about inflammation is very applicable not just to postpartum, but to women and men and people everywhere. 

Inflammation is the cause of disease, dysfunction, and so many other critical body function mishaps, both minute and ginormous. That being said, not all inflammation is bad!

There are two main types of inflammation, acute inflammation, and chronic inflammation.

Both serve important purposes in our bodies that are very different and we are about to deep dive into all of this information and the effects of different inflammation in your bodies, especially during postpartum, in this episode!

In this episode, I’m sharing with you:

  • Inflammation
  • Acute inflammation vs. chronic inflammation
  • Acute Inflammation is meant to protect us
  • Chronic Inflammation can become toxic to our bodies
  • Why Chronic Inflammation occurs
  • Ways chronic inflammation presents itself in postpartum frequently
  • Without proper support in postpartum, natural acute inflammation can quickly turn chronic
  • Gut Health & Inflammation – Back to some anatomy basics
  • The food we are using to fuel our bodies contributes to our gut health
  • Gut-Inflammation Connection is KEY 
  • Without gut inflammation, most would NOT have brain inflammation
  • The relationship between gut health, inflammation, & mental health
  • Inflammation is a trigger to depression, not the other way around
  • This common occurrence in Mom’s
  • Postpartum depression, and why therapy only seems to do so much
  • Another side to depression that isn’t being addressed
  • The need for a whole-body approach to wellness and healing
  • Inflammation in infants brain development due to Mother’s inflammation
  • The myth of your baby not being affected by inflammation & depression
  • The potential link between ADHD in children and depression during pregnancy
  • Effects this has on communities
  • When Mother’s aren’t well, they aren’t able to contribute like they want to
  • Caring for the mother is also impacting their children and their children
  • This is a generational problem
  • Carbs, the difference between empty carbs and good carbs
  • The body needs & loves carbs

Thank you immensely to everyone who showed up to o Thank you immensely to everyone who showed up to our epic free masterclass yesterday. 

Without your commitment to serving women and families, this would absolutely not be possible.

The Postpartum Herbs, Care, and Practice course series and 100-page downloadable book will give you a fundamental understanding of herbal use specifically in postpartum, and how you can use this information within your scope of practice.

If you’re ready to begin your herbal journey, this is an incredible place to start.

Do you know the leading cause of postpartum depres Do you know the leading cause of postpartum depression and anxiety?

Do you know why so many of us run to comfort food in times of stress?

Here’s an important truth bomb:

💥Your stomach has more nerve cells than your brain.💥

This is also why food has the ability to calm our emotions more completely than any breathing technique ever will. The link between our stomach and our brain health is undeniable.

POOR GUT HEALTH AND LACK OF NUTRIENTS ARE ONE OF THE LEADING CAUSES OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY.

Take that in for a second.

As professionals showing up to serve, we must understand this in order to elevate our practice and truly help mothers and families thrive.

We need root cause care. Click the link in my bio to save your seat for the Postpartum Nutrition Certification Program!

“Bounce back” culture has failed us terribly. “Bounce back” culture has failed us terribly.

Although the signs that this isn’t working are everywhere, where do we look when stepping outside of the modern norm?

It is this crossroads where we’re given the opportunity to come home to the traditions and cultural practices that have been lost across generations.

The secret to a better way of experiencing motherhood rests in this wisdom.

The way back, however, requires a deep process of discovery and digging back to our roots. Today, we’re here to share our best advice and what we’ve been working on at Postpartum University to help you get started.

When I first started working as a childbirth educa When I first started working as a childbirth educator, doula, and nutrition coach nearly 15 years ago, I was absolutely terrified of HERBS. 😖

Over the last several years, my attitude has changed significantly. I've had the privilege to homestead on a 40-acre forest in Alaska (where I've lived 100% of the time for the last several years). I've grown comfortable foraging wild berries and harvesting devils club, wild chamomile, rose hips, fireweed, and so much more.

My passion for the land and its medicine took me into a Women's Herbalist Certification program, and I've had the advantage of working with locals to learn and grow my own love of God's earthly medicine.

And even more importantly, I've learned that herbs are nothing to be afraid of. Over the last few generations, the healthcare industry and medical market has successfully placed fear, worry, and anxiety over herbs, marking them as dangerous, unknown, and highly risky, especially in pregnancy and postpartum.

I fell for the "it's not safe and it's out of my scope" trap. And I see so many professionals doing the exact same.

This is exactly why I created the free upcoming training:

How to Use Herbs in Postpartum (Safely)!

A free masterclass for professionals who want to incorporate traditional root medicine into their practice without feeling constant worry.

In this 90 minute masterclass, you'll be learning:

🌿 How to use herbs effectively and safely in the sensitive postpartum period, even when you're not an herbalist.
🌿 A 4-step framework that makes herbal knowledge and use significantly easier to understand and apply.
🌿 Using herbs as Root Cause medicine while busting myths that have kept herbal knowledge in the hands of few.
🌿 And plenty more!

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! This will be held on August 17th at:

10am Alaska Standard Time (AST)
1pm Central Standard Time (CST)
6pm Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

Limited seats available. REPLAY AVAILABLE.

We will conclude with a Q+A session and you will be given a followup juicy BONUS download with specific information that goes beyond this Masterclass (for live attendees only).
