When we think about lactation, we usually focus on the chest/breasts — but your liver plays a huge role in milk production. 🌿
This powerhouse organ helps regulate hormones (including insulin), which directly influence your supply. When your liver is overwhelmed or not functioning optimally, you may notice challenges with milk production.
The good news? Supporting your liver doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are 3 simple steps you can start today:
1️⃣ Nourish with low-carb, high-fiber meals
Fill your plate with non-starchy veggies and fiber-rich foods to support hormone balance and reduce inflammation. 🥦🥑
2️⃣ Move your body
Gentle activities like walking, stretching, or yoga can help your liver work more efficiently — and support your milk supply. 🧘♀️🚶♀️
3️⃣ Add liver-supportive herbs
Herbs such as milk thistle, turmeric, and artichoke extract may help promote detoxification and hormonal balance. 🌿✨
Your liver supports your whole body — and when it’s functioning well, your lactation journey often feels more supported, too.
If you’d like personalized guidance, Robin offers Functional Nutrition Counseling to help you understand the root causes of milk supply challenges and create a plan that fits your life.
