Individualized Dietary Interventions for Postnatal Recovery with Registered Dietitian

You are going through significant physical and emotional changes, and in the midst of the madness of being a new parent, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and even a little bit lonely. With a million new responsibilities, it’s likely the last thing on your mind is cooking a nourishing meal and eating it hot. 

 

A woman’s body goes through some radical changes in a short period of time. Fertility, conception, pregnancy, and delivering a baby — whether by C-section or vaginally — is hard, hard, hard. After giving birth, a woman’s body hurts … everywhere. The exhaustion is real. Hormone fluctuations cause everything from baby blues to postpartum depression and thyroiditis. Women experience constipation, urinary incontinence, blood glucose swings, and more.

 

A diet plan developed by a Dietitian Nutritionist can be an integral part of recovery after birth and your post-delivery wellness. Together, we will create an individualized eating plan (that is not overwhelming) that will support healing. We’ll give you tips to enjoy nutrient-packed, easy-to-manage meals. We will empower you with the tools you need to make food choices that will help improve your energy levels, help you sleep better (even if it is in snippets while the baby sleeps), boost your breast milk production, and feel like you again.

 


Keeping your body healthy is the best way to support your baby’s health as well. An individualized postnatal diet plan will give you the confidence to choose the best, healthiest foods for wellness and, eventually, lose your pregnancy weight, and sustain a healthy weight. Our team of Registered Dietitian Nutritionists is here for you — to create the best diet plan for you and your baby.

Testimonials

  • I just got my positive pregnancy test! This was 100T due to my nutrition work with my dietitian. I struggled for years with autoimmune thyroid problems, with digestive issues, and with infertility (was not ovulating). My dietitian went beyond the basics to help me regulate my immune system and thyroid hormones, improve my gut health, and get my cycle back on track. This saved me over $30,000 that I was quoted for IVF, and I feel healthier going into my pregnancy. Thank you! .

    S.W. in Boulder, Colorado

  • “I have several autoimmune diseases and I constantly struggle with my weight. I’ve tried every diet without success. Erin’s plan has been the only plan that has helped me get my weight under control. A lot the symptoms of my disease have also improved. I have more energy. I never feel deprived and I know this is a plan I can continue for the long term.”

    by J.J., Bury St Edmunds, UK

  • “Erin’s program is so easy to follow! The meals are delicious and fulfilling. All the guess-work is taken out, and the plan works! It is also encouraging to see others posting their successes and challenges. Erin is encouraging and motivating. She answers questions and is genuinely happy with accomplishment’s! It’s like having a personal nutritionist! I’ve lost 12 pounds to date, but I’m looking at food differently too and noticing positive changes in my energy level. It’s been wonderful!”

    by S.D., Yorktown, Virginia

  • “I am an overweight 57 year old, post-menopausal woman with arthritis. This program is the first one to address properly all the areas I need. It does this in an easy, smart, and healthy way that I can do and trust! I will continue to reach to you and your company for future questions, needs, and advice!”

Postpartum Nutrition Consultation Packages and Plans

Every woman’s nutritional needs are unique. Exhaustion, the baby blues and postpartum depression, and breastfeeding challenges are all significant parts of a woman’s experience after having a baby. Individualized dietary interventions can help! We find that a minimum of three sessions are typically needed for optimal results. That said, because of the body’s changing needs after labor (or a c-section) and while breastfeeding, we offer an array of discounted services, which include access to meal plans, follow-up appointments, and more.

 

Therefore, we offer a discounted package of 3-sessions. This package has a total value of $495. Grab it for $395. We will customize the session spacing for your needs, but the typical spacing is 3 – 4 weeks between sessions. Sessions must be used within 6 months.

  • The postpartum phase, often referred to as the "fourth trimester," is a significant period in a new mother's life. OK. This is a gross understatement.  You've just been hit by the baby train.

  • Postpartum thyroiditis is the inflammation of the thyroid gland after giving birth. It’s similar to what we see in Hashimoto’s without the same degree of fibrosis or follicular atrophy. It causes a disruption of the gland, releasing high or low levels of thyroid hormones in the blood. An estimated 5 – 10% of women experience postpartum thyroiditis; however, many are never diagnosed. There are two phases in postpartum thyroiditis – thyrotoxicosis followed by hypothyroidism. And......

Postpartum, new moms usually only have one or two visits. (Two is stretching it). This is concerning, as all women experience......
