This week on Raising Healthy Mothers I'm talking to Francesca Mastrojanni, a fellow nutritional therapist who also works for Functional DX, a leading functional medicine blood testing and analysis lab. We dive into blood testing and why we use it in practice as nutritional therapists and how it can help us to understand our clients's symptoms and help focus on a plan.   In the episode we discuss: Postnatal recovery and healing food What bloods can tell us about our health Common symptoms that are often dismissed as normal, but may be a nutrient depletion How and when to get your bloods tested and how to get help with the results Why mums often notice symptoms popping up at around 9 months postpartum As usual when I talk to another nutritional therapist, we got a bit geeky, and I loved getting my teeth into this with someone else who also supports mums in the postpartum period.
