WOW! This episode was something else, so powerful and full of knowledge I really wish I had know 9 years ago when I had my first baby.
Let's be clear now, I knew nothing about functional medicine or what it really meant however after talking with Montse from Mana Intergrative Health I was bowled over by the intricacies of it and how it REALLY can help us fatigued, exhausted and busy mums.
Monste explained how sleep deprivation can impact us on a health level deeper down than just "feeling tired", and answered the questions I had about how functional medicine can help especially when breastfeeding...by getting to the root cause of the fatigue and yes of course you may have just given birth and in recovery from this and now raising a small human and breastfeeding and while that takes it's toll eating the wrong foods also impact negativly on those fatigued feelings and emotions. And boy, do us mums have a lot of emotions when we become mum!
Monste gives us some insightful tips on what foods best to eat when breastfeeding and how she can help not only new mums but us seasoned mums when we are juggling motherhood, school runs, work and the home.
1000% give this episode a listen and watch out for the next 2 we have installed for you... I am chomping at the bit myself to hear them!
