You’ve likely heard me talk about how raw vegetables and salads are not an ideal food for you in postpartum, and if you’re a vegan or vegetarian you may be wondering how on earth you’re supposed to get what you need in postpartum if those foods aren’t suitable for your body during that time. I’m going to break all of this down for you in this episode. To continue a vegan or vegetarian diet, especially in postpartum, you will need extra support to fully heal. Through supplements, and possibly some modifications to your diet.Disclaimer, I will not be pushing either diet on you or go into the differences between the two. I am here to explain the most up-to-date scientific data about these diets and my recommendations.Join us in the Facebook group >>HERE<< and let us know what you thought about this episode.In this episode, I’m sharing:Vegan and Vegetarian in postpartumNutrition is a foundational piece to healthGut health issues and nutrient depletionEating to heal your bodyAnimal meat helps weak bodies return to health and wellness fasterNutrient-dense bioavailable foodsEnzymes and gastric acidsDon't add enzyme supplementsMost nutrients are difficult to get from these dietsAll of our vitamins and minerals and nutrients work together If you're deficient in one, it's likely you're deficient in multipleAbout 40% of vegan women are found deficient in ironWhole Foods are what helps with digesting key nutrientsVegan and vegetarianism is not sustainable without supplementationEggs, bone broth, and herbal tea can make a massive difference in how one feels and support their healingGet your nutrient levels tested at least every six monthsSlowly reintroduce animal productsIf you’ve got questions, come join my Facebook group The Postpartum CircleFor full show notes go to https://marandabower.com/vegan-and-vegetarian-postpartum-what-you-need-to-know-ep29/- If you'd like to work with me, or need support, reach out here!        https://marandabower.com/contact/-Purchase my Nutrition Program  https://marandabower.com/nutrition/-Sign up for The Postpartum Nutrition Certification Programhttps://marandabower.com/certification/Where to find me:Apply here to work 1:1 with me here >>> https://marandabower.com/contact/Email: hello@marandabower.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/postpartummarandaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/postpartummaranda/Website: https://marandabower.com/
