After pregnancy, we are typically undernourished, lacking the necessary
minerals, and potentially dealing with more serious gut issues like
constipation, indigestion, bloating, and weight loss resistance.
Let's face it, you just grew, or are growing, an entire human over nine months. That means so many minerals and nutrients were used up to help your baby grow.
Postpartum is the time (even if you're not breastfeeding) to restore your minerals and give your body what it needs to function properly.
We need specific amounts of all macronutrients. And yes, that includes carbohydrates. But I'm talking about root veggies and high-quality grains.
Eliminated processed carbohydrates is a great start, but going keto can make things worse, especially if you were recently pregnant which can trigger gut and thyroid problems.
The liver plays a central role in detoxification, metabolism, and energy production. When the liver is burdened by poor diet or stress, its ability to efficiently process and eliminate waste is compromised.
This leads to a buildup of toxins in the body and can result in feelings of fatigue and low energy.
We need sufficient stomach acid to break down our food, especially protein. If we don't have enough, food is not digested properly. This can lead to bad bacteria forming in the gut.
However, many new moms suffer from low sodium and potassium which leads to major sweet cravings, bloating, and indigestion.
Oftentimes, traditional healthcare focuses on treating postpartum symptoms with medicine or restrictions, not on treating the root causes.
Postpartum symptoms are often excused and expected to be dealt with, even though they have real impact on your life as a new mom.
Many postpartum moms feel rushed during appointments and pressured to try certain solutions because healthcare providers have limited time and resources to fully customize treatment.
Sara Moreira Health stands out in its ability to empower moms with comprehensive health solutions. I go beyond traditional approaches by offering functional lab testing, including assessments for gut health, hormone balance, metabolic function, and heavy metal toxicity.
It's not just about addressing symptoms; it's about uncovering the root causes and providing a personalized roadmap to peak health.
My mission is to guide, support, and empower mothers to reach their peak health, feel extraordinary, and have the boundless energy needed to cherish and nurture their families to the fullest.
I am here for you in this season of life where your babies are little and you are just trying to get by. Mineral testing is imperative for optimal health after going through pregnancy which can leave you in a nutrient-depleted state.
I create individualized plans based on your symptoms and hair tissue mineral analysis. You are unique and this approach is anything but cookie-cutter. Dive into minerals with lots of education and support so you can understand why you are feeling so defeated with your health.
In the midst of my own health struggles as a nurse, I discovered a profound truth—health is a multifaceted journey, unique to each individual.
Sara Moreira Health was born not just from my battles with GERD, PCOS, fatigue, and gastritis, but from the realization that conventional solutions often fall short. I embarked on a quest for answers that led me to Functional Diagnostic Nutrition, a holistic approach that transformed my life.
This program is designed for postpartum moms who don't want to accept life-altering symptoms that impact their ability to have a fulfilling motherhood.
“I thought that going keto or cutting out most of what I loved to eat was the only way to get rid of my uncomfortable bloating. After my second pregnancy, my gut issues were worse than ever and I felt hopeless. Keto helped me lose weight, but I felt restricted, and anytime I would give into carbs, I would instantly feel crappy.
Working with Sara helped me understand that my gut symptoms were not just from the foods I was eating, but from what was going on inside my gut. When I nourished myself instead of cutting out and restricting, everything changed!”
