In this transformative episode, Brooke sits down with Jes— a holistic Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG) coach, root-cause practitioner, and home-birth mother— to discuss a new way forward for women experiencing severe nausea in pregnancy. Jes shares her personal healing journey, how she entered the world of holistic pregnancy support, and why so many women with HG are dismissed within conventional care.

Together, they dig into the deeper layers of HG through a root-cause pregnancy and functional medicine lens. Jes breaks down the clues behind HG: antihistamine pathways, B6, minerals, nutrient co-factors, and how modalities like TCM, GNM, Ayurvedic wisdom, and Western medicine can blend to offer more complete holistic pregnancy care. They also explore how to differentiate standard morning sickness from true HG, the biological purpose of nausea and vomiting, and the impact of underlying factors such as H. pylori, trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and chronic depletion.

Jes introduces her newest offering, The Human Blueprint, and shares supportive, accessible approaches for women seeking natural HG relief, functional pregnancy support, and deeper understanding during early pregnancy.

If you want a compassionate, evidence-informed, and holistic perspective on HG, this episode is essential listening.
