Episode Description
As a postpartum provider, functional health practitioner, and perinatal nutritionist, you're likely being asked daily: "What's the best postnatal vitamin?" But here's the uncomfortable truth: the supplement market, especially for postpartum nutrition, is a wild west, riddled with misleading practices and products that could be doing more harm than good. Forget the simple brand recommendations. This episode pulls back the curtain on white labeling in supplements, reveals why so many popular brands are problematic, and empowers you to identify high-quality, bioavailable nutrients your clients actually need. We're challenging the "pill for every ill" mentality and arming you with the science to truly nourish depleted postpartum moms at the root.
