Postpartum Preparation Series 🙋🏼‍♀️

Joining me today is Nutrition and Wellness Coach Ana Robinson from Nourish Us. 

Ana and I discuss the critical role of protein in postpartum nutrition. We discuss how protein supports recovery, energy levels, and emotional well-being during the postpartum phase. Ana shares practical tips for incorporating protein into meals and identifies symptoms of protein deficiency. Ana has a big focus on small sustainable habits that really make the biggest impact on our lives.
