Why are you not sleepmaxxing?
What to eat in the first weeks postpartum:
- Beef. The fastest way to rebuild iron and B12.
- Bone broth. Easy to digest and loaded with minerals you need.
- Eggs with the yolks. Choline, vitamin A, easy on the stomach.
- Dates and prunes for energy and to keep your bowels moving.
- Sweet potatoes, white rice, oats. Easy carbs your body needs for milk and recovery.
- Coconut water and fresh juices. Plain water alone is not enough.
- Liver if you can. Even small amounts offer a lot.
- Warm cooked everything. Your gut needs easy to digest food right now.
Avoid smoothies, salads, and cold drinks. Your body is too newly opened for cold raw foods. Eat like a queen for the first 6 weeks. The faster you rebuild, the better you feel for years.
to my 25 - 35 year olds, youโve reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think itโs too late. donโt let that energy rub off on you. itโs not too late.
you're scared to take a 4 years course because your 28 and by the time you finish, you'll be 32. whether you take the course or not, in 4 years time you'll still be 32, so why not be 32 doing something you love?
