I want to encourage mothers to breastfeed—yes, , I agree.
But we cannot place the responsibility solely on moms. This has to be addressed at the level of public policy.

There’s a reason breastfeeding initiation is ~85%, yet only 25% of babies are exclusively breastfed at 6 months!!

If we’re serious about improving breastfeeding rates, we must approach this from a public health standpoint, not an individual-blame model. We need better:

• Paid maternity leave
• Accessible, ongoing lactation support
• Adherence to WHO formula marketing guidelines
• Increased NIH funding for lactation research
• Stronger workplace protections for pumping

Mothers don’t need more pressure, they need more support.

If you’re looking for quality lactation support and want to stay home, my team of IBCLC lactation consultants would love to help you in the comfort of your home. DM me today!

✨ Script inspired by my colleague Amy Kaplan, RD, IBCLC, and WIC lactation consultant. Grateful for colleagues who keep these conversations grounded in reality.

Did you see RFK’s video? What are your thoughts on this?

Have you noticed you crave more chips, pretzels and crunchy sweets, when you’re stressed?

It’s not lack of willpower - there’s actually a reason for it! It comes down to calming your nervous system and building safety.

So next time you crave chips, chocolate covered almonds/pretzels or other crunchy snack foods - take note of why that is. Try to calm your nervous system and take a breather but also don’t feel guilty - your body is trying to feel good.

Some healthier options are celery and carrots sticks, trailmix, beef jerky, apples, even gum…but chips taste good too 😆

Have you noticed this before?

This post is for those who questioned why I asked for certain labs. A few comments (even from physicians) said things like, “Good on him… you don’t need those labs.”

Here’s the thing: lab work is just data.
It’s information about what’s happening inside your body.

Not everyone needs extra labs, and yes—sometimes knowing less can feel easier (ignorance is bliss). But for my health, I want the data. I want to know whether my lifestyle and nutrition choices are actually supporting me the way I think they are.

I’m all about preventative care.
Why wait until something is wrong if you could catch trends earlier?

I’m grateful I don’t have many symptoms—and honestly, that might be because I’ve run labs in the past and made the tweaks my body needed.

So, keep advocating for yourself. Not everyone will agree with you, and that’s okay. There are providers out there who will listen, have real conversations with you, and give thoughtful reasons for either running—or not running—certain tests.
What’s not helpful is being dismissed… or told to “go get your own medical degree to access your own health data”. 🙃

Disclaimer: This is NOT medical advice. Not everyone needs these labs. These are simply the ones I personally chose to get more insight into my health. Sharing here as a response to many questions in my previous post

Dont throw your turkey carcass away! Make BONE BROTH (or stock)! (The difference between the two is just how long you cook it for)

Many people throw the carcass away but noo, this makes the perfect “no waste” bone broth!

You already have the turkey, you’re already going to cook it, you have an assortment of vegetables, so why not make a nourishing bone broth from it afterwards!

Incorporating bone broth and collagen in your diet is so helpful in both the prenatal and postpartum period as it helps with your skin elasticity and wound healing and It provides an array of amino acid especially glycine as well as the minerals in bone (phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, silica etc)

I generally make mine in the instant pot for about 3-4hrs and then let it sit in there for another couple hours. it’s amazing and easy!

I drink it, I use it in recipes in place of water, and add it to my soups and stews and rice.

I used to freeze it in mason jars but now use which makes life soooo much easier. (Use alohanutrition10)

To make:
- take all the meat off the bones
- add all the turkey bones and cartilage in your instant pot or crock pot
- add water to the highest point that it’ll hold/allowed
- add any veggies you want (onion, celery, carrots. Personally I’m too lazy and I usually just do the bones)
- add a splash of vinegar (I use apple cider vinegar) which can help extract more minerals for the bone
- cook on pressure cook for 3-4hrs in the instant pot or 16-24hrs in the crock pot, or 2-6hrs in the crock pot for a stock

Once it’s done, strain it with a colander and toss the bones and store the liquid 🤩

Let me know, have you ever made bone broth with your turkey? What do you plan on doing with the carcass?

Happy Thanksgiving!

If you’re constantly drained, dreading your days, too tired to enjoy time with your kids, and brushing off symptoms as “just normal” — it’s time to listen to your body.

Those whispers? They’re not random. They’re your body’s way of asking for help.

Minerals like potassium, magnesium, iron, selenium, sodium, and calcium etc are your body’s spark plugs — essential for nearly every function.

And when minerals are low, your body just can’t operate the way it should — cue all the frustrating symptoms.

That’s where the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) comes in.
 This hair test measures the minerals stored in your tissue (not just your blood), offering deeper insight into what’s really going on in the tissue.

You can do all the foundations (what I talk about on my page) but since we’re all so different and have different diets and different stressors, you don’t know what YOU specifically need.

How do you know what foods to focus on?
How do you know what supplements to incorporate?
How do you know that your fasting and over exercising isn’t impacting your body? Etc

I’m offering the HTMA test — available only through qualified health practitioners (our team is made up of registered dietitians) — to help you finally get answers.

No more guessing what to supplement or guessing why you’re feeling XYZ

Just some random tips I have for the upcoming holidays 🙃 I know the holidays can bring about a lot of emotions and a lot of stress.

Remember to take care of yourself too. Eat your meals, get your protein, do things to help alleviate stress and remember to drink your mineral mocktails every day!

Comment “minerals” or “🍹” to grab my free mineral guide with fun recipes to support your body and support your energy (yes please!)

support your stress, do lots of breast gymnastics, feed on demand or set a timer if you pump so you don’t forget.

I also love to use breastfeeding as an excuse to step out 😆 I think it’s a gentle reminder to sit down/pause, take deep breaths and snuggle your baby 🥰

What other tips do you have? go and enjoy yourself. Happy Thanksgiving and during the upcoming holiday season!

Did you know a hair tissue mineral test can assess heavy metals? This isn’t always a “scary” thing because it does show that these heavy metals are leaving the body,

however it does help bring awareness into where we’re getting these heavy metals and what essential minerals we need to prioritize (eg iron, selenium, copper, zinc).

Many people will jump to “metal detoxes” but oftentimes this actually causes more stress on an already depleted body.

When we can support your body of essential minerals, support your lymphatic system, support your liver health, and ADD things in, as well as reduce your exposure to these heavy metals (certain foods high in metals like sword fish, mahi mahi, albacore tuna, makeup products, kitchenware, your environment, water sourcing etc etc)

Things can improve.

This Black Friday I’m offering a hair mineral test that is typically exclusive to our clients in our nutrition program but I want you to get some answers especially if you’re feeling “off” but told your blood labs are all normal.

Minerals support EVERY SINGLE bodily function!

While we market to postpartum moms, this is open to men, kids, elderly, non pregnant/postpartum women etc.

Comment HTMA and I’ll send you more info.

Did you know this test looked at heavy metals too?

You don’t have to keep pushing through the exhaustion
 If you’re constantly drained, dreading your days, too tired to enjoy time with your kids, and brushing off symptoms as “just normal” — it’s time to listen to your body.

Those whispers? They’re not random. They’re your body’s way of asking for help.

Minerals like potassium, magnesium, iron, selenium, sodium, and calcium are your body’s spark plugs — essential for nearly every function.
 But here’s the thing: your body can’t make minerals. You must get them from food and water.

With the physical, emotional, and mental stress of everyday life, we’re often depleted faster than we’re replenishing. And when minerals are low, your body just can’t operate the way it should — cue all the frustrating symptoms.

That’s where the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) comes in.
 This hair test measures the minerals stored in your tissue (not just your blood), offering deeper insight into what’s really going on in the tissue.

Bloodwork might look “normal,” but if you don’t feel normal — it could be because your tissue levels are already too low.

I’m now offering the HTMA test — available only through qualified health practitioners (our team is made up of registered dietitians) — to help you finally get answers.

No more guessing what to supplement or guessing why you’re feeling XYZ
