At nine weeks postpartum I thought I would share how my #postpartum journey has looked, what I learned along the way, tie in some research of course and give you tips and tricks from my personal experience. I watched so many videos on tik tok and YT before giving birth to learn about what I needed PP so I felt that an episode like this could be very helpful to anyone pregnant, planning to have children, or if you are just interested to know. From food and fitness, to hydration, mental health and recovery, we chat all things postpartum as I share my personal experience along with studies on: oats and milk production, caffeine consumption while breastfeeding and average weight loss postpartum.

In this episode we discuss the protein craze and needs for women over 40 years old. From hormones, to metabolism and loss of muscle mass we review why they recommend upping protein amounts, what the science has to say and if you can hit your target with plants. I give examples of plant protein to incorporate, how you could set up a day on your plate with plants if you are wanting to up your protein, protein powders and more.

For today's episode I thought it would be interesting to break down whether oat milk is "bad" for you because it seems to consistently be demonized in the media and I wanted to know for myself since I personally like it. We cover the three major arguments people pose when discussing oat milk and break down what the science has to say about each one: It raises your blood sugar. It is a source of seed oils which are "bad" for you. It is sprayed with glyphosates which lead to cancer. I also share the flip side which is the positives of drinking oat milk and help you make the decision best for your health.

Question from IG. Can you share a bit about how pregnancy impacted your movement routine?

I hope this episode provides you with insight, personal experience and hope - that you can get pregnant and have a health pregnancy over the age of 40 and while plantbased!

With the California School Food Safety Act banning the state's public schools from serving or selling foods containing six synthetic food dyes and protests at Kellogg to remove synthetic food dyes in U.S. products, driven by the the Food Babe Vanity Hari, plus discussions on this topic at the Senate - I felt like it was timely to deep dive on food dyes. From explaining what they are and why they are even in our foods, to why Europe bans them, what the studies have to show on food dyes and hyperactivity in children, and U.S. history on food dyes over the years, we break down this trending topic to get to the truth. We discuss the argument of the dose making the poison, the amount of food dyes children are actually consuming, the other food chemicals to consider in processed foods, plus practical solutions you can start today to make healthier choices for yourself and your family.
