The postpartum season is often overlooked when it comes to nutrition and recovery. While pregnancy and birth get plenty of attention, the months after birth are just as important for long-term health, healing, and energy. In this episode of Alpha Health and Wellness Radio, we talk about how to replenish your body after birth, which foods and supplements truly support recovery, and which to avoid while nursing. Whether you’re in the thick of postpartum or preparing for it, this episode will give you the tools to heal deeply, restore energy, and support your baby if breastfeeding.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why the postpartum season requires more than just six weeks of care.
Foundational foods that support healing, milk supply, and hormone balance.
Key supplements to continue after pregnancy (and new ones to consider).
Supplements and herbs to avoid while breastfeeding.
Simple lifestyle practices to promote recovery, energy, and emotional balance.
Highlights & Takeaways:
Collagen-rich foods like bone broth and slow-cooked meats rebuild tissues and skin.
Mineral-rich hydration (coconut water, nettle tea, adrenal cocktails) helps restore balance and milk production.
A quality prenatal or postnatal multivitamin, magnesium, omega-3s, and probiotics remain foundational after birth.
Rest, warmth, and community support are just as vital as nutrition.
