In this week’s AMA episode, I share my journey through postpartum healing—from navigating C-section recovery and emotional trauma to biohacking brain fog with functional mushrooms.
I dive into whether lion’s mane is safe while breastfeeding, the essential steps to naturally heal a C-section scar, the emotional and physical toll of unplanned C-sections, and share holistic, science-backed tips every mom should know.
