I didn’t expect postpartum to feel like this.
I had a great pregnancy.
I prioritized my nutrition.
I prepared for postpartum.
And still… I ended up with insomnia, anxiety, low milk supply, and a nervous system that felt like it couldn’t settle.
For a while, I kept thinking:
What am I doing wrong?
But at 3 months postpartum, I finally got answers.
My body wasn’t failing me.
It was depleted.
Even with a “healthy” lifestyle, I was low in key minerals—calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium—and it was affecting everything:
My energy
My mood
My ability to handle stress
Even my ability to rest
And that changed how I see postpartum completely.
Because postpartum isn’t just about how much you prepare…
It’s about what your body actually has available after pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding take their toll.
If you felt exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself…
There may be a real, physical reason.
Not a lack of effort.
Not you “not handling it well.”
Your body might just need deeper support.
This is exactly why I care so much about helping women rebuild during and after having a baby—because you deserve to feel like yourself again 🤍
