Brigid Titgemeier says postpartum hormone problems stem from nutrient depletion during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Her intake form shows most women say they felt best before having kids. She's tested thousands of postpartum women and found virtually every one has at least one nutrient deficiency.
When it comes to your hormone health, I also want you to be thinking about nutrient repletion. For the last 10 years, I have had an initial intake form that women fill out prior to working with myself or my team of registered dietitians. And the most common answer that we see when we ask women when was the last time that you felt good? Is before having my kids. And there's many reasons for this, but a lot of it stems from the need to really take serious the role of nutrient repletion. In order to support our overall hormone balance, nutrients are prioritized developing the fetus and then to fuel the baby when you're breastfeeding, which leads to lower nutrient levels and nutrient reserves for moms. I have tested thousands and thousands of women's nutrient levels, and it is very rare to have a test that shows zero nutrient deficiencies.
