    39 - Nourishing New Moms: Navigating Postpartum Nutrition with Estefania Llaneza Garcia, Perinatal Nutrition Expert

    Estefania is a powerhouse in the world of perinatal nutrition, with a wealth of credentials and experience to back it up.  She is a Certified Perinatal Nutrition Expert and Board Certified Holistic Nutritionist, with certifications in “Food as Medicine” and Functional Nutrition. She holds advanced degrees in Environmental Sciences and Engineering and Biology, and has taught biology at Portland Community College since 2010. On top of all that, she’s a mom of two, so she knows firsthand how to make nutrition practical and accessible for busy mamas. In this episode, Stacey and Estefania dive into the critical aspects of postpartum nutrition and maternal health. With no official guidelines for postpartum dietary needs, they discuss how essential it is for new mothers to replenish nutrients after pregnancy and childbirth. From understanding the increased caloric demands to addressing common misconceptions about weight loss and dietary restrictions, Estefania offers practical advice for navigating this challenging period. We explore the signs of undernourishment, foods to avoid, and highlight nutrient-dense options and essential supplements to support recovery and long-term health. Tune in for actionable tips on nurturing your body through postpartum recovery and why listening to your body’s hunger cues is key for new moms. Takeaways: The lack of official RDAs for postpartum moms highlights the need for better care. Crash diets are not recommended during postpartum; nutrition is crucial for healing. Nutrient-dense foods support hormonal balance, energy levels, and overall recovery. Magnesium and iron are essential postpartum nutrients. Avoiding fast foods and fried foods is important for health and recovery. Prenatal vitamins and omega-3s should continue after birth. Fruits and vegetables are key but often overlooked. Working with a professional can tailor your nutritional needs and supplements.
