I feel very privileged to have been invited to speak at the Postpartum Care Conference.
The experience reminded me that care shouldn’t just begin after birth — it needs to start much earlier. True wellness begins pre-partum: during preconception and pregnancy.
By supporting women early, we can:
🌱 Minimise nutrient depletion
💊 Address drug–nutrient interactions
🧬 Support biochemical pathways and prevent potential health issues
❤️ Holistic postpartum recovery truly begins before birth.

It’s been an incredible day of learning.
2 take home messages for me:
1. When does postpartum care really start? If we want to protect the health of both mum and bub, it should begin before birth. A healthcare system that prioritises prevention would save countless dollars in the long run, a win for mothers and a win for the health budget.
2. There is a wealth of traditional wisdom we should not overlook.

I recently had a conversation with Dr. Laurena Law exploring drug-nutrient interactions, differences between nutraceuticals and supplements, my thoughts on herbal patches, and integration of conventional medicine and natural health approaches in community pharmacy practice.

I hope you find this episode informative.

The past couple of days has been spent improving my clinical skill, it’s been AMAZING and I can’t wait to apply this in my practice.

Have you ever wondered why some people respond badly to certain drugs or supplements? Or not respond at all?
Perhaps it’s the wrong drug or supplement for the wrong patient? Or perhaps it’s the wrong neurotransmitter (chemical messenger) we’re targeting?

If you’re a clinician interested in mental health. Genetics can help you navigate the choice of drugs and/or supplements use. YOU SHOULD DO THE COURSE! This is unlike the genetic courses I’ve ever attended. This is practical.

While I doubt I’m ever going to have all the answers, this weekend has provided me with another a tool.

Ah! The joy of science, always learning and unlearning. Very humbling indeed.
