is it normal to feel terrible postpartum?

Just chatting, not giving medical advice in any kind of official or authoritative capacity 😊

Steps I’ve taken to heal underlying autoimmunity that flares up postpartum:

Remember, you cant supplement your way out of a harmful diet thats causing or exacerbating gut dysbiosis which is the root cause for your autoimmunity.

1) Avoid antibiotics at all costs. Say no to all vaccines. Try to avoid living a high stress lifestyle and sleep deprivation.

2)Remove problem foods to allow healing. Start by removing all grains and added sugars from your diet and replace them with quality animal products. Get at least 1 gram of protein per ideal lb body weight in your diet every day. If/when you do reincorporate grains, use only ancient grain like einkorn or emmer and long ferment it with sourdough starter. Long fermented grain should be a very small part of the diet, meat and animal products should be the bulk.

3) Reintroduce vital strains of bacteria into your gut to heal dysbiosis. Learn to make sauerkraut, milk kefir, and L. reuteri “yogurt”. Learn to ferment veggies. Eat these things daily. Making your own probiotics this way is MUCH more effective and far cheaper than the best probiotic on the market.

This isn’t an exhaustive healing plan, just 3 simple tips to get you started and see MAJOR improvement. I am a big believer in supplementation but don’t even think about investing in supplements before doing these 3 steps because if you have gut dysbiosis or are consuming lots of modern grain or added sugar then that’s binding to your supplements and preventing you from absorbing minerals so it’s essentially all coming out in the wash and you are wasting your $$$

If you have some $$$ to invest in your health, buy a deep freezer and half a beef or buy raw milk and fresh eggs from a local farm. Quality animal products will go so much further in improving health than supplements! But please don’t skip the grain elimination step. If you are eating grass fed beef, fresh eggs, and raw milk but also consuming modern wheat (yes even the organic stuff is bad) then you’re still going to have problems.

Dont limit good animal fats! Limit carbs instead. Animal fats arent causing heart disease or making you insulin resistant and overweight, too many carbs from grains and sugars are doing that.

Since I know I’ll get questions about supplements - this is what I take and have taken for a long time:

Beef Liver or Multi Organs
Mushroom Blend
Magnesium
MCT oil in coffee every morning
Vitamin K2-7
A scoop of grass fed collagen in my water or coffee

This is what I take daily all the time whether im pregnant, breastfeeding, or both, or neither. I have other stuff i take occasionally too but these are my daily essentials. I get everything from perfect supplements because they offer capsule and powdered forms, they are a small family owned business, and all products are grass fed and finished, they are just the best quality that I have found and they offer discounts when you buy in bulk, which makes it easy for me to buy supplements for my large family. Use code HOPEWELLHEIGHTS10 for 10% off your order and you can stack that on top of any other discounts they offer.
