podcast guest
Katie Bressack is an award-winning holistic health coach who specializes in women’s hormonal health. With her support, the women she counsels prepare their bodies for pregnancy, postpartum, increase energy levels, get their periods back and on track, eat healthier and maintain a balanced mood.
Katie joins me to talk about the fourth trimester, which is the period of time immediately following the birth of a child. We don’t often talk about the reality of postpartum and I think it’s important to shed light on the huge hormonal changes that occur and the very specific needs of a new mother during that period after pregnancy.
In this episode, we talk about what happens to our hormones after delivery, the woefully inadequate care that most women receive after having a baby, how you can set yourself up for success in the postpartum period, the type of support we need during the fourth trimester, and so much more!

Are you overwhelmed by all the different varieties of collagen out there? I was too until I recently found Sparkle Wellness, a family-owned business that spends extra time sourcing the purest and most thoroughly tested ingredients for their collagen products. They have developed a range primarily using the powerful benefits of collagen to improve the look and health of your skin, hair, and nails, as well as restore your joint health and build lean muscle.
I’m currently obsessed with their Muscle Boost Collagen, it’s been a complete game-changer for me. It easily mixes with water and comes in an amazing mixed berry flavor that tastes better than any other collagen powder I’ve ever tried. Try it out and add some Sparkle to your day.
