Balancing Hormones and Motherhood

For this episode, I was a guest on my good friend Brigitta’s Borinstein’s podcast Motherhood Equipped , where we discussed: Why hormones are messengers, not the root problem—and what actually needs support first The biggest mistakes women make when trying to “balance hormones” postpartum How blood sugar instability drives anxiety, rage, fatigue, and sleep issues Why pregnancy and breastfeeding are deeply mineral-depleting—and which minerals matter most The truth about electrolytes vs. true mineral repletion How cortisol, progesterone, estrogen, and insulin are all interconnected Why liver support plays a massive role in mood, skin, and cycle recovery after birth What the fourth trimester really asks of your body—and why rushing recovery backfires We also end with a fun little rapid-fire questionnaire, answering common hormonal questions. This was such a fun interview, and full of so many nuggets and insights.
