Episode 249: How Functional Mushrooms Support Your Pregnancy and Kid's Health
If you’re months (or years) postpartum and living on coffee, craving sugar, snapping at everyone, waking up at 2–3am, or wondering why you can’t lose weight no matter what you do, your body is likely still in survival mode. I sat down with Brandi Garden and Desiree Caruso, ND of Eversio Wellness to talk about the support most postpartum moms never get. If you're exhausted, anxious, wired-but-tired, inflamed, or feel like your body never fully “came back online, this is a can't-miss conversation!
In this episode we’re sharing:
The real reason postpartum depletion lasts years and why it isn’t your fault
How chronic under-eating, skipping meals, and relying on caffeine keep your nervous system locked in fight-or-flight
The minerals most women burn through during pregnancy and breastfeeding
Why stress + mineral depletion = low progesterone, anxiety, hair loss, and blood sugar instability
What 2–3am wakeups actually mean
The truth about postpartum weight loss resistance and why walking + strength training beats over-exercising
How balancing your meals with protein, fiber, and carbs stabilizes your metabolism so you don’t crash by noon
Why your nervous system must feel safe before your hormones can regulate
The small, repeatable daily habits that rebuild energy, mood, metabolism, and hormonal resilience
You’re not “failing” at postpartum, your body is just asking for nourishment, safety, and consistency. This episode will help you understand what’s really going on under the surface, rebuild the foundations your hormones depend on, and finally feel like yourself again - grounded, energized, and strong.
