What if the secret to thriving in the postpartum period isn't just about rest and care, but also how we are nourished? Could our postpartum diet be the key to a smoother, healthier transition into motherhood?
In this episode of the Slow Postpartum Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Maranda Bower, a leading expert in postpartum health and nutrition. Maranda, the CEO and founder of Postpartum University, brings her extensive knowledge in biology, nutrition, and perinatal mental health to our discussion. We dive deep into the often overlooked but critical role of nutrition during the postpartum period and explore why what you eat after birth can significantly impact your recovery, well-being, and long-term health.
Maranda shares fascinating insights into traditional postpartum practices around the world, explaining how cultures have long recognized the importance of specific foods in aiding recovery. We discuss the physiological changes that occur in a woman's body after birth, the common nutritional deficiencies that many new mothers face, and the vital need for a postpartum diet that is rich in nutrients, easy to digest, and supportive of overall healing.
Maranda also highlights the importance of community support in postpartum care, noting that traditional societies understood the value of nourishing new mothers not just with food, but with love and care from those around them. This episode is packed with practical advice and profound wisdom for anyone supporting a new mother, or for mothers themselves who want to optimize their postpartum recovery.
