III

Postpartum.

For the body recovering and feeding.

The first forty days reorder bone, blood, and hormones. The food matters more here than almost anywhere else in adult life — and it isn't the food you'd choose for yourself in any other season.

[ WHAT THIS STAGE IS ]

Western culture has no real map for postpartum. You're sent home with a baby and expected to feed a body that just performed the most demanding act of its life.

[ WHAT WE DO TOGETHER ]

The work, in this stage.

The shape of the work, in roughly this order. Some women only need a few of these.

  • — 01Warming, mineral-dense, easy-to-digest food protocols rooted in traditional postpartum cuisines from cultures that take this stage seriously.
  • — 02Iron, vitamin D, B12, choline, omega-3s — the nutrients depleted by birth and lactation, replaced in food first and supplements second.
  • — 03Practical recovery support: sleep-deprived eating, one-handed meals, what to keep in the freezer before the baby arrives.
  • — 04Mood, milk supply, energy — supported through food where possible, flagged for clinical care where needed.
