Did you know that the first three months postpartum are known as the 4th Trimester?! The trimester where energy (calorie) and nutrient needs increase to help with tissue repair/healing, mental and physical energy and milk production! This is not the time to cut calories and start exercising. However, you can start to do some things to support your overall health and wellness!

In this episode, I share the 5 Foundations to Postpartum Wellness to help you nourish, care for yourself and help through the early stages of motherhood and beyond. Whether you’re about to have your first babe or your third, these foundations to postpartum wellness are essential!

Stay strong & nourished,

Val

Do you currently plan or prep your meals?! As a busy mom (or literally anyone), it. is. a. must!! I seriously think meal planning and prepping saves our sanity as moms, haha!

In this episode, I will explain what meal planning is and how to use your plan to prepare meals for the busy week ahead. Don’t worry! You do not need the ‘perfect’ plan, because that doesn't exist. And you don’t need to eat boring ‘ol chicken, broccoli and rice for every meal either. That’s no fun. You just need to plan a balanced meal! I also share 3 things you need to do to get started and these three things will help you in the future when it’s time to plan and prepare your meals and snacks for the busy week ahead.

Stay strong & nourished,

Val

In this very first episode, I am excited to share my personal journey to becoming a "Strong & Nourished Momma!" From how my passion in nutrition and wellness started, to now helping clients and mommas like you prioritize your health, redefine your wellness goals and ultimately, how to become a more energized, balanced mom.

In my approach to health and wellness, balance is everything! I believe in creating a lifestyle that supports both structure and flexibility-because while routines can keep us grounded, life as a mom requires room to adjust and adapt. My goal isn't just to be healthy for myself; it's to have the energy and resilience to show up fully for my family. Health and wellness should empower us to do all the things we love, not restrict us.

My journey is not just about fitness or nutrition - it's about finding strength in every area of life, from self-care to routines and everything in between. And, most importantly, how my experience can help you, as a busy mom, feel strong, nourished, and empowered, too.

Stay strong & nourished,

Val

Heyyy Momma!

Welcome to the Strong & Nourished Momma Podcast! I am so happy you are here.

I’m Val! A Functional Sports Dietitian, Prenatal & Postpartum Fitness Coach, and first-time momma.

Throughout the different seasons of my life, I have tried to eat well and stay active but found it easy to be all or nothing when it comes to my health. This way of living was unsustainable, stole my time and energy, and was detrimental to my well-being. I finally realized that if I was going to live a healthy lifestyle, I needed to find balance with my nutrition and wellness, especially now during motherhood.

I know that motherhood is demanding, but your health does not have to take a backseat as you raise your beautiful children and work. Whether that is crushing it at home taking care of the house and family or in the office taking care of biz.

My mission is to guide you on your wellness journey through simplified and balanced nutrition so that you can become the strong and nourished momma you are meant to be!

In this podcast, you will find easy ways to navigate your health and wellness through a holistic lens. Tune in every week for exciting content on the four pillars of health, integrative wellness, and boundaries and routines. All the things you need as a busy mom!

Each episode is packed with practical tips, real-life strategies, and expert advice to help you nourish your body, boost your energy, and feel your best–all while keeping things realistic and manageable.

Xo,

Val
