A one-hour PowerPoint on 1) the role of insulin in the postpartum, and 2) the impact of insulin resistance and chronic under-hydration on lactation difficulties (delayed lactogenesis, supply difficulties, early return of menstruation) and 3) how specific lactation foods and beverages counteract and potentially remediate these influences.
Historic Overview of Low Milk Supply with implications for today
Three doctors tried to understand low milk supply, to improve milk supply, and to understand its far-reaching implications for the health of humanity–which we see rolling out today.
WORKSHOP: Our Missing Skillset: Emotional Processing to "unstuck" our difficult emotions and become softer and more flexible and responsive.Your Title Goes Here
When we cannot process the emotional repercussions of our experiences, we are at risk of becoming emotionally hardened, mentally inflexible, and we lose the ability to self-soothe. In this workshop, we explore the basics of embodied emotional processing together.
The Mahmee Team is committed to providing excellence in care and the education that Hilary provided to our team during her lecture helps us to do just that. As a subject matter expert with vast experience, she offered guidance that promotes breastfeeding success as well as overall health. We found the information valuable for our patients and for ourselves!
