This is the first postpartum season where I’m not pregnant again or exclusively breastfeeding babies who completely depend on me.

For the past 7–8 years, I’ve been pregnant and/or breastfeeding and during that time, prioritizing my health felt easier.

I worked out, ate well even when I didn’t feel like it, prioritized protein and fiber, and made sure I took my supplements because I knew my babies depended on me for nourishment.

But now, in this different season, it’s easier to push my own needs aside.

I’m so grateful that I still feel good, but I don’t want to wait until I’m exhausted, burned out, or struggling before I start paying attention again.

So here I am at 27 months postpartum, still breastfeeding a little, but realizing something:

Learning to prioritize your health because *you matter* can feel very different than prioritizing it because someone else depends on you.

So here’s to me choosing to prioritize my well being regardless of whether I’m pregnant or BF.

Anyone else relate or in a similar season? What are you feeling? Kind of bittersweet 🥺

Pooping is one of your body’s major detoxification pathways. It’s how you eliminate waste, hormones, toxins, and metabolic byproducts.

So when you’re not pooping regularly, that’s a clue.

Instead of saying, “I’ve just never been a regular pooper,” we need to ask why.

That was the case for one of our clients.

She came to us struggling with constipation, stubborn weight, skin concerns, and painful periods.

Instead of throwing random supplements at the problem (like laxatives), we dug deeper.

Through testing and a comprehensive assessment, we uncovered H. pylori, dysbiosis, mineral imbalances, and signs that her gut motility needed support.

So we focused on:

✔️ Supporting gut motility
✔️ Increasing fiber intake strategically
✔️ Replenishing key minerals
✔️ Addressing H. pylori and dysbiosis

To best support her body, we did this in Phases in the right order. And the result?

✨ Daily bowel movements 🙌🏼
✨ Weight loss (she lost 15 # just as a byproduct)
✨ Clearer skin
✨ Better periods
✨ More energy 🙌🏼

Here’s what I want you to remember:

▶️Constipation is often more than a digestion issue.

When waste isn’t moving efficiently through the body, it can affect everything from hormone balance and skin health to energy levels and overall well-being.

If you’re tired of guessing and want a personalized plan to uncover the root cause of your metabolic, skin, and hormone symptoms, comment APPLY and let’s chat.

And for what it’s worth… babies should be regular poopers too! 😂 Check out my “Poop” highlight for more on that 🤗

Are you a regular pooper?

I feel like the hormonal side of weaning doesn’t get talked about enough.

We often think weaning is just about our baby, our milk supply, and dropping feeds.

But there’s actually a lot happening in our bodies, too.

One symptom I forgot to mention in the video is feelings of sadness or even depression.

This is something I personally experienced when I weaned my daughter. Honestly, it felt like a breakup 😅. I was more emotional than she was, even though the decision to wean was completely on my terms.

When it comes to supporting your hormones during weaning, I always start with the foundations:

✔️ Balance blood sugar with protein, fiber, and healthy fats
✔️ Aim for 25–35g of fiber daily to support gut health and estrogen metabolism
✔️ Prioritize adequate protein—the amino acids help build neurotransmitters like serotonin
✔️ Get outside and expose your eyes and skin to natural sunlight
✔️ Focus on minerals and electrolytes, including magnesium
✔️ Consider adaptogens such as shatavari or rhodiola (if appropriate for you). Needed has a great Stress Support formula (code: ALOHA20)
✔️ Nourishing herbal teas like a NORA blend can be a wonderful addition

If you’re navigating weaning, I have an entire workshop covering the breastfeeding side of weaning, night weaning, pump weaning, and nutrition support for moms.

Comment COURSE and I’ll send it to you.

What was your experience with weaning? Were you surprised by the emotional or hormonal shifts?

06/17/2026

It’s such an honor to be part of someone’s breastfeeding journey from the very beginning to the moment they decide it’s time to wean.

This mama had a rocky start, but together we worked through those early challenges. Now, with her baby turning one, she wanted support navigating what weaning might look like.

I reminded her that there are still many benefits to toddler nursing, and I never want moms to feel pressured to wean before they’re ready. But if mom is ready, or baby seems ready, I’m here to support them, too.

We talked through a gradual weaning plan: which feeds to drop first, ways to redirect her little one, and how to make the transition feel gentle for everyone involved.

But a huge part of our conversation focused on HER.

Because weaning isn’t just about your baby or your milk supply. It’s a major hormonal transition for moms, too.

When we support a mother’s nutritional needs, physical health, and hormonal shifts during weaning, the transition often feels much smoother.

If you’re entering this season and want a personalized plan for how to wean while also supporting your own body, comment SUPPORT below.

And tell me, were you blindsided by the hormonal changes that came with weaning?

Btw should I do a Part 2 and talk about HOW we’re supporting mom and her hormones?

I know how hard it can be to get movement in with young kids, which is why I’m so grateful for portable walking pads like the Merach Ultra walking pad.

I can store it upright in my closet and pull it out whenever I need it. It’s been especially great during naptime when I can’t leave the house but still want to get a good walk in, during phone calls, or honestly when it’s just way too hot outside 😅

It also has an incline of 12%, so I can actually feel like I’m getting a workout in from home.

If you’ve been looking for a portable walking pad, definitely check out the Merach walking pad. You can use code w60aloha at checkout for a discount (link in bio).

How are you getting movement into your day lately?

You weren’t meant to just survive motherhood.

So many women tell us, “I thought I just needed to push through.” Or “I thought this was normal”.

But fatigue, constipation, brain fog, painful periods, anxiety around food, feeling depleted for years after having babies… these aren’t lack of willpower or signs you need more discipline.

They’re signs your body needs support.

Nervous system support, nutrition support, digestion support, thyroid support etc.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and get a personalized plan, we’d love to support you. Comment “Apply” to work with our team of registered dietitians specializing in maternal health.

Can you relate to this?

I am so, so sorry if your family has been affected by this. I can only imagine the fear, stress, and uncertainty you may be feeling right now.

This should NOT be happening.

Parents should be able to trust that the products they’re using to feed their babies are safe.

Families should not have to navigate formula shortages, recalls, and constant switching while also managing the emotional and financial burden that comes with feeding an infant.

And this conversation shouldn’t stop at recalls.

We need better safety standards and accountability from formula companies.

We also need to talk about the role that marketing plays in all of this.

Parents are vulnerable in the postpartum period. They are exhausted, sleep deprived, and trying to do what’s best for their babies. Formula companies know this, and social media platforms continue to profit from highly targeted advertising directed at new parents.

We’ve seen influencers promote formula products with little transparency, sponsored content that blurs the line between education and advertising, and marketing strategies that capitalize on parental fear and insecurity.

Parents deserve evidence-based information, not fear-based marketing.

We need improved access to lactation support and insurance coverage for IBCLCs.

We need paid parental leave so families have the time and support to establish feeding routines without being forced back to work before they’re ready.

This isn’t about formula vs. breastfeeding.

Formula saves lives. Breastfeeding deserves support. Families deserve options.

This is about building systems that truly support parents instead of leaving them to carry the burden when those systems fail.

Because families deserve better!!

If you’ve ever experienced a formula shortage, recall, struggled to access lactation support, or wished you had more postpartum support, I’d love to hear your experience below.

A baby in the 5th percentile isn’t automatically a problem.

The real question is:

Are they following THEIR curve?

Humans come in all different shapes and sizes. Some babies are naturally smaller. Others are naturally larger.

What matters most is the whole picture: weight trends over time, diaper output, milk transfer, feeding frequency, and how baby is growing overall.

Sometimes supplementation is absolutely needed. And sometimes, families are being told to supplement when breastfeeding is actually going well.

This is why working with an IBCLC can be so valuable. We help you understand the why behind the recommendation and create a plan that’s individualized to your baby.

If you’ve been told your baby is “too small,” comment SUPPORT and we’d be happy to help you navigate your next steps.

Have you experienced something like this?

I’m still very much FOOD FIRST 🙌🏼

But depending on your diet, lifestyle, personal health goals, and season of life (hello pregnancy, postpartum, and breastfeeding 👋), supplements can be a helpful way to support your body.

If you do choose to supplement, look for third-party tested products from reputable brands, since supplements aren’t regulated by the FDA in the same way medications are.

I also encourage tracking your food intake for just a few days, not long term, but simply to get a better picture of where you’re at nutritionally.

And testing can be incredibly helpful, too.

One of my favorite tools is the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), which evaluates mineral patterns outside of the blood to provide another piece of the puzzle when it comes to understanding your mineral status and how your body may be responding to stress.

Our demands are high, and our bodies are doing a lot. Focusing on mineral-rich foods and using targeted supplements when appropriate can go a long way in supporting your overall health.

If you want to learn more about minerals and simple ways to incorporate them into your daily routine, comment “MINERALS” and I’ll send you my free guide!
