Episode 267: Balancing Hormones and Motherhood

 

For this episode, I was a guest on my good friend Brigitta 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.
