    PCOS, Gestational Diabetes, & Breastfeeding: What No One Tells You About Postpartum Nutrition (Grace's Story)

    If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right postpartum but still don't feel like yourself, this episode is for you! Today I'm joined by one of my past clients, Grace, to talk about her journey through PCOS, gestational diabetes, breastfeeding, postpartum OCD, and all of the confusing nutrition advice that came with it. What's so powerful about Grace's story is that she wasn't starting from scratch. She's a holistic health coach who already knew a lot about nutrition - but postpartum taught her that knowing what to do and actually being able to do it are two very different things.
