Blood Sugar And Pregnancy Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, Kristen breaks down a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention in pregnancy conversations: blood sugar regulation and its direct impact on baby’s growth.

She explains how the placenta naturally increases insulin resistance as pregnancy progresses—a normal biological shift that, when unsupported, can lead to chronically elevated blood sugar levels. Kristen connects the dots between this hormonal change and larger babies, challenging the idea that size is simply genetic or out of your control.

She walks listeners through how blood sugar imbalances develop, why they matter beyond a gestational diabetes diagnosis, and how they can influence both mom’s and baby’s outcomes. Most importantly, she shares practical, non-restrictive ways to support balanced blood sugar during pregnancy—focusing on nourishment, not fear.

Breastfeeding and Weaning Apr 08, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of The OrganiMama Podcast, Kristen gets real about breastfeeding — the beautiful, the painful, and everything in between. From preparing your body during pregnancy to navigating those early latch days, she shares what she’s learned (sometimes the hard way) about supporting both you and your baby through the process.

She dives into the Thompson Method (her recommended breastfeeding course), gentle ways to protect your milk supply through nourishment and hydration, and simple but powerful practices like breast gymnastics to help prevent engorgement and mastitis. You’ll also hear her take on night nursing (especially if you’re bedsharing) and how to approach weaning in a way that feels slow, intuitive, and supportive — not rushed or forced.

This conversation is a reminder that breastfeeding isn’t just about feeding your baby — it’s about connection, regulation, and honoring your own experience too. Whether you’re pregnant, in the thick of it, or starting to think about weaning, this episode will leave you feeling informed, grounded, and a little less alone.

In this eye-opening episode of The OrganiMama Podcast, childbirth educator and advocate HeHe Stewart joins us to unpack the realities behind C-sections, VBACs, and the importance of informed consent in modern maternity care. HeHe brings years of experience supporting birthing families and shines a light on why C-section rates in the U.S. remain far above what the WHO recommends — and how hospital culture, provider perspectives, and unnecessary interventions all play a role.

Together, we explore why so many women desire low-intervention births, yet often feel funneled into inductions or surgical deliveries. This conversation dives into everything from the pharmacology of Pitocin to understanding induction risks, choosing a truly supportive provider, and why proper nutrition during pregnancy matters. HeHe reminds women that their provider works for them — and that advocating for your birth preferences is not only your right, but key to a safer and more empowering experience.

We wrap up with practical guidance for preparing for VBACs, C-sections, and postpartum recovery. Whether you're pregnant, planning for a future birth, or simply passionate about maternity care, this episode will leave you informed, confident, and empowered to take ownership of your birth journey.

Exploring the Vegan Diet Mar 04, 2026

Show notes

In this episode of The OrganiMama Podcast, we’re diving into veganism with Dawn Lusk, who spent eight years fully devoted to the lifestyle. She shares the heart behind her decision — the identity, purpose, and conviction it gave her — and how persistent health challenges eventually invited her to look deeper. We talk about what long-term plant-based living can mean for the body, minerals, hormones, and overall vitality, and why nutritional awareness and bio-individuality matter more than any dietary label.

Dawn also opens up about the humbling journey of reintroducing animal foods after years without them, and why doing so gently was essential for supporting digestion and healing. We discuss the role of deeply nourishing foods, how functional blood work and HTMA testing revealed mineral imbalances that standard labs missed, and the emotional layers that can be wrapped up in food choices. This conversation is about tuning in, honoring your body’s signals, and finding grounded, sustainable nourishment that truly supports long-term wellness.

If you are looking for HTMA testing, Functional blood testing, or mineral balancing, you can work with Dawn one-on-one! Find all the details on her website: www.ravensmoonholisticwellness.com
