Today we’re talking about a very sacred topic which is how to move through and manage shifts during pregnancy and postpartum. These are sacred periods. They’re also demanding periods. They’re exciting periods. They bring up a lot emotionally, spiritually mentally and physically. There’s so much going on in our bodies when we are not only pregnant, but in the aftermath of pregnancy. And I’m happy to say that there’s so much more attention on the postpartum period now. It is one of the trends that we discussed in the Well and Good Trends Report this year, that there’s more education around how important postpartum is, thankfully. It’s very important be aware of issues like postpartum depression and postpartum nutrition to make sure that the mother is able to really revitalize herself during this particularly vulnerable time.

Kimberly Snyder (00:00.482)
Namaste loves and welcome back to our Thursday Q &A show where today we’re talking about a very sacred topic which is how to move through and manage shifts during pregnancy and postpartum. So these are sacred periods. They’re also demanding periods. They’re exciting periods. They bring up a lot emotionally and spiritually mentally and physically of course.
And there’s so much going on in our bodies when we are not only pregnant, but in the aftermath of pregnancy. And I’m happy to say that there’s so much more attention on the postpartum period now. This was one of the trends that we discussed in the Well and Good Trends Report this year, that there’s more education around how important postpartum is, thankfully, and to really be aware of issues like postpartum depression and postpartum nutrition and making sure that the mother is able to really revitalize herself in this particularly vulnerable time. And so I’m really excited to talk about this topic. I’m very passionate about motherhood. I have two children myself, ages three and seven, soon to be eight. And we have a holistic.
Pregnancy, Postpartum and Conception Fertility course that we’ve been talking. They’ve actually turned into three courses because they’re so comprehensive that we will be launching here at Saluna in the next few weeks and months. So this topic has really been top of mind for me. I also have a lot of friends who are pregnant right now, and we got a lot of questions in the community about this topic. So I’m very excited to dive right in to talk about all these different aspects of how can manage these shifts in our body and of course emotionally our hormones are going bananas during this time and yet we don’t want to get swept away we don’t want to feel that we’re in total chaos and there’s no sort of regulation because that makes this sacred period even more challenging than it has to be and so there are practices there are tools there are lifestyle
Kimberly Snyder (02:24.056)
protocols that we really want to adhere to, especially during these sacred, incredible times. Before we go deeper in, a little reminder that if you haven’t heard, we are on video now. So if you’d like to join me on our YouTube channel, I’m here in my office next to my meditation space. I’d love to see you. And if you’d like to, of course, continue listening on your walks or driving on your commute to work or, you know,
audio, we’re still always going to be on Spotify, Apple, wherever you listen to our show as well. Remember that we will have the show notes, including all the research for this show over on our notes. The podcast notes will be on mysaluna .com, which is our main hub. We will also link to other podcasts around this topic that I think you would enjoy, as well as articles related to this topic, specifically nutrition and meditations for postpartum
and pregnancy for grounding yourself and recipes and more. I have a lot to say about this topic as well, holistic pregnancy and postpartum. So also please join our newsletter if you haven’t already and you will also be amongst the first to hear about our holistic courses, our holistic pregnancy courses when they launch this spring.
This birthing, right? This energy that’s all around. So this is a really wonderful time to talk about this topic. And I want to say a big thank you to Maddie from Hawaii, place close to my heart, who brought this topic to mind today for our community. Who wrote our question and she writes, I’m having my first child in a couple of months and have been through quite a lot when it comes to my self image.
I worry how I will look and feel after the baby when I’m already feeling a sense of loss with how my body has changed and my mood. I know you’ve had two boys and I’m wondering if you can share any pointers on where to begin to manage how I’m feeling. So Maddie, thank you again so much, sending you a big virtual hug, mama to be, and congratulations. And to all of you listening out there, whether you have had a child,
Kimberly Snyder (04:41.806)
or you’re thinking about a child down the line, or maybe you don’t want a child, but you’re interested in this topic, or you have friends or family members around you. It’s amazing to know how to support others, even if you don’t necessarily want to be a biological mother yourself. I do believe that we can mother and be mothers in many different ways, and mother and shepherd and care for.
So there’s a lot to say around this topic. And again, Maddie, thank you for bringing this to our attention. So life is dynamic. Our bodies are dynamic and ever shifting and ever changing. But in this period, there is a great acceleration that we can see on a denser physical level, of course, with our eyes as we watch our body shape balloon up. I remember just being amazed at how big my belly was getting. And I couldn’t believe how much my skin stretched. And I also couldn’t believe how much it went back to pretty much normal afterwards. Our bodies are amazing. And the elasticity of our skin, which we can continue to nourish the collagen, the health of our skin, which is very much a direct…
It shows how we’re eating. It shows how we’re taking care of ourselves and our lifestyle and with our skincare and the nutrition we’re putting in our body and how much we’re sleeping and creating stillness, which helps us to become more resilient against stress responses. It really does show. Really, we do have a great amount of influence in this area. We can’t control everything during pregnancy, but there are many things that we can work to really nourish ourselves for a really wonderful, healthy experience. At the same time, as Maddie is pointing out, there’s these out of control -ness, these feelings of big sensations and emotions and fears that come up. And I really relate to this in my own pregnancy, where I was someone who didn’t, I had the idea that I wanted to be a mother, but I wasn’t one of those,
Kimberly Snyder (06:53.518)
people that had been planning pregnancy for a really long time or really knew if I was ready until sort of right before. And it brought up a lot of fear around my life changing and maybe I wouldn’t like my new life. Maybe I wouldn’t like the responsibility of always having to take care of something. I traveled a lot in my adult life. I never had a dog. I didn’t have a pet that I had to watch all the time. So there was a lot of
fear that it brought up for me. And just a lot of turbulence. And of course, coupled with the hormonal shifts, we may not be sleeping as well. We’re more tired. We’re more cranky, sensitive. I remember crying a lot. You know, just little things would make me tear up whether they were happy or we get frustrated. So there’s just so much that we have to navigate in pregnancy. And so I want to leave you with tangible tips as always. But before we do, I want to
highlight a little bit of research here around all of our cornerstones. So these were studies that I pulled that would be, I thought would be helpful in our discussion and they’re in different areas and different topics. The first has to do with food. And I find that what we eat is such an important part of impacting our moods. And it’s also, as I’ve always talked about since our first book, my first book, The Beauty Detox Solution, it’s something really tangible.
So even though parts of our pregnancy, like how while we’re sleeping may feel nebulous and out of our control, we can feel a sense of self -contribution by being mindful and intentional about what we are ingesting. And in our new courses, I will tease and say they are plant -based. But if you do, if you’re an omnivore, if you want to eat some meat, you can add that in.
But I want to break this myth right here and right now. I want to bust this myth that you cannot be a plant -based mama or there’s deficiencies. I’ve been plant -based for, I think, 15 years now. So through conception with both of my pregnancies, my children have been plant -based since conception. And what research shows is that, this is from the National Journal of Medicine, showed that, this is from 2023, this was recent, that plant -based dietary patterns,
Kimberly Snyder (09:17.742)
were related to a lower risk of developing gestational diabetes. So we are not a community that is rigid and it’s either this is the right way and everything’s the wrong way. So you don’t have to be 100 % plant -based or 100 % this or that. But I do believe that especially in these shifting periods, these incredible plants and the abundance of the plant world around us and eating a largely.
plant -based diet, which has fiber, which will ground you and will keep your digestion going through pregnancy. It provides a sense of stability instead of the spikes and the ups and downs. And if you’re having not enough fiber, this stagnation that can accrue in your GI tract and make you feel heavy and trapped, right? So just keeping things going from a dietary standpoint with colorful veggies. I am a big believer.
in the glowing green smoothie in these sacred periods. There is a time and a place for cooked food, can be part of the program. You could still have your hot water with lemon, hot ginger tea, but more and more research comes out, including if you listen to my recent podcast with Dr. Michael Greger, who is amazing, and there were 13 ,000 references in his incredible book, How Not to Age, including a 40 %…
that was shown in CRP, C -reactive protein, which is a marker for inflammation. From drinking a green smoothie every day in one week, one week it went down, for inflammation it was shown to go down 40%. So we want to be as healthy as possible when we’re pregnant and when we’re in the postpartum period. We need other foods, we need density, we need protein, we need to have sources of that. But I’m a huge believer in the…
incredible richness of phytonutrients. The high intelligence of having a glowing green smoothie in these periods is something I highly recommend. Go, you know, leading up to it with your partner and during these periods. And I certainly had a ton of greens in my pregnancy and postpartum and it will serve you well.
Kimberly Snyder (11:30.83)
Furthermore, a 2023 study in the MDPI found that the offspring of women on a plant -based diet are not at a higher risk of premature or low birth weight. Women on a plant -based diet do not experience more problems, breastfeeding. And this goes on to talk about how the BMI is healthy in plant -based women, and there’s a lot of different factors. I bring this study up because…
I know that there are fears out there and I just want to say from personal experience that both of my children were enormous babies. They were made of the glowing green smoothie and these amazing plant foods and lots of quinoa and lots of kale salad and lots of mangoes and they were both close to nine pounds each. And so I did birth enormous children. They are and continue to be exceptionally healthy.
children with no sorts of deficiencies. We’ve only been to the doctor, knock on wood, for their yearly appointments and things of that nature versus lots of sickness. They never had, again, knock on wood, ear infections or anything. They’re very healthy and very energetic. So when we are eating really well in a balanced way during pregnancy and postpartum, our children
really benefit. And of course that’s passed on. And at the same time, I don’t want you to be stressed with these shifting changes. If you happen to want a treat or maybe you want some ice cream or maybe you want, you know, something crunchy. I would just say that same thing when we’re not pregnant, we’re not in postpartum. The morning practice is really important. So keep taking your SBO probiotics. If you’re experiencing morning sickness,
and you need to delay your GGS, something like oatmeal, something grounding in the morning can feel really nice. I also had coconut yogurt, just plain coconut yogurt sometimes when I couldn’t stomach certain things. And then we wanna make healthier choices like coconut ice cream. We definitely don’t want to consume a lot of dairy. Ideally, I’m not a huge believer in dairy and foods that may be more difficult for us to digest.
Kimberly Snyder (13:54.958)
Also, since it’s top of mind, Dr. Michael Greger was pointing out in our recent podcast how dairy has been correlated with lower ovarian egg quality and egg reserves. Dairy isn’t a great thing to do if you want to, or not a great thing to consume, in our opinion, if you are looking to get pregnant, if you’re looking to conceive. So making healthier choices without being overly rigid is really important.
talk about more specific foods in just a moment. But there’s a groundedness to certain practices. When everything’s feeling out of whack, as Maddie was mentioning, and the body’s changing, and feelings are coming up, when you have this rhythm of, okay, I start the day with lemon water, and I’m gonna have some, you know, glowing green smoothie, and then mid -morning I need to eat something, I’m having a hot oatmeal, or I’m having an avocado wrap.
having avocado every day, I’m having this bowl for lunch, whatever it is, just a sense of regularity is going to give you more regularity on emotional and mental level. What also helps is exercise. And there’s a study here around the benefits. This is from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, also from 2023. Seems like a lot of research came out last year.
that showed that exercising during pregnancy was really helpful for many different aspects of pregnancy, including postpartum recovery time. There’s also this expansion that I found walking when I was pregnant. And walking was my preferred mode of exercise during pregnancy. My midwife in my first pregnancy encouraged me to walk five miles a day.
And at first I said, you know, I’m pregnant, right? Sometimes I’m feeling really tired. And she said, no, this is really good. It also helps to somehow align your pelvis and there’s no circulation and it’s natural. And so walking, I think is a wonderful way. If you can walk outside and just look up at the sky and the trees and the fresh air, there’s a sense of empowerment and being in that natural environment. And we remember this natural power.
Kimberly Snyder (16:20.142)
that we have in our bodies. We remember that we are so much larger than the limited feelings that may be coming up and the hormonal swings. So I really looked forward to my walks. And in postpartum period, I would carry my babies in my carrier and they would often nap and just sort of, you know, kind of look around sometimes as their eyes started to open more widely to the world around them. And it was a really wonderful time to enjoy.
and to unplug and to just be together. And I think greenery, looking outside at greenery is really nourishing. The vibration of green, taking in green, eating green, seeing green, the color of the heart chakra, the anahata chakra, just helps us to rebalance. There’s a soothing quality. If you’re watching this, you’ll see I’m wearing green right now. It’s one of my favorite colors. And so everything is energy. Everything is vibration.
And so you’ll notice that certain colors may feel more soothing to you. So seeing them on the walks, eating greenery while you’re incorporating in your meals, all of these different intentional ways can help you to start to feel more stabilized. I will say taking those beautiful walks, for me it felt a lot more nourishing than going into crowded, loud gym spaces.
You may also feel a lot of connection in a prenatal or postnatal class, a yoga class or exercise class, if you want to be around others who are in the same period as you. It’s just, you know, just feeling your intuition about which movement feels that it helps you connect more, right, to yourself. So this is not a time to push.
your body, it’s definitely not a time to, I believe, try new exercise, but to stick with what feels rhythmic and familiar and deeply nourishing in your body. So we want to make sure that there are certain things that we want to be extra aware of in pregnancy, including anxiety and depression and extra stress.
Kimberly Snyder (18:42.552)
And in 2012, a study in the National Library of Medicine found that there were adverse outcomes for mothers and children when these were experienced in pregnancy. And it even affected neurodevelopment and child outcomes. So remember in these periods when we can feel that there’s help that we need, we need to ask for more support, we need to offload work, or we need to rest more, or we need to…
talk things out, maybe we need therapy or some kind of counseling. We definitely don’t want to push that down. We want to make sure that our emotional well -being is taken care of. And this is where the psychological becomes the physiological, right? Or the psychological becomes the physical. This is a quote from Dr. Roland McCready, who came in here when we were talking about the power of heart coherence, which you’re going to hear me talking about a lot in the next few months.
have back -to -back book launches, one for a child’s book and one adult book on the heart, the power of the heart and heart coherence and what that does for our physical health and our vitality and also our emotional and spiritual well -being. So in pregnancy and all other times, but now we’re so intimately connected to this beautiful child, the soul within. And so this is a time where we want to really call on tools and practices to make sure.
that we are making space for meditation, breath work, relaxing, turning off screens more, listening to relaxing music, guided meditations, or things we just enjoy, audio books, laughing with a good friend, getting a non -toxic pedicure, or a prenatal massage, or…
you know, just some light gardening work or whatever it is. This is a time to sort of sit in our yin divine power. And so this is where we can let that womb wisdom come forth and guide us. So much intuition that comes through this creative center, the sacral, the womb center and the heart that is activated, of course, during this time. And we want to connect our hearts to our growing child.
Kimberly Snyder (21:04.558)
And even after we birth, down to the center, which has been so activated in pregnancy. And so we can feel those intuitive messages coming up and we wanna listen. Hey, this is, you know, I’m just feeling overwhelmed right now, or I’m feeling like I need to step back from some of these friendships or some of these relationships, or, you know, change my work a little bit. This is too much for my body right now. And we wanna listen and we wanna make shifts.
We want to have a team of people around us, whether that’s our biological family or chosen family of friends. If you have a partner or if you’re having the baby on your own, you know, single parents by choice, just building that really supportive tribe around you that you can feel that you’re not alone. Because what happens sometimes, especially in the postpartum period, is we can feel isolated. And so seeking out community.
identifying who can you really share with and sharing with them, hey, I need support right now. And you’ll find your tribe of people who are really there for you and want to be there for you. And there’s a lot of online communities now. And so it’s amazing time to take advantage. As I mentioned, there’s more and more offerings for mothers than ever, I feel like now, especially in the postpartum period. So your emotional well -being, just as your nutritional needs.
and your physical needs are really, really important to pay attention to.
In fact, a 2014 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that a major depressive episode created a four -fold increase in the risk of preterm birth. And PTSD, so it just shows the power of our emotional states. I used to think that food was the end -all be -all, right? When I started in this journey and I wrote my first book back in 2011.
Kimberly Snyder (23:00.238)
Sometimes I get these questions about how my diets evolved and my lifestyles evolved. And I have to say that everything is really important. But I’ve come to realize in the past five years or so, our cornerstones that are unseen by the physical eyes, the emotional well -being and the spiritual growth, I’ve come to believe that these are the essential seed cornerstones, so to speak.
the energy on the inside that starts to create the energy in our bodies and the energy that can better assimilate our food and make us make healthier food choices. Our bodies become a reflection of our emotional well -being and our spiritual state and our spiritual connection and the hormones and the cascades of different processes that are happening as when we experience.
these emotional energies coming through us like waves, frustration and anger. And the suffering is such a huge, huge part of wellness that we start to develop tools to calm ourselves. And these are some of the things we want to teach our children. So in May, I have our, we have our Chilla Gorilla book coming out, which is a children’s book that I co -authored with my husband. And this is about,
again, tools for heart coherence. I’ll share a little bit of it with you now and we’ll develop, I’m going to put out free tracks, meditation tracks for children and families and for adults as well. We ran a heart aligned meditation study that found a 29 % increase in coherence. So I’ll just start to give you a tip now that if you’re starting to feel a lot of up and down, a lot of hormonal swings, a lot of thoughts going.
You want to drop down into your body. We hear a lot about taking deep belly breaths. And you also can put your hands on your heart. And when you start to shift into these deeper centers in your heart, in your body, in your heart, in your gut, and you can even breathe into your heart and your gut as one unit, then you’re starting to move beyond the egoic mind patterns. And then you can start to self -regulate. You can start to create more of irregularity in your own nervous system.
Kimberly Snyder (25:23.534)
This is very hard to do from a mental place. When the mind is spinning out of control to try to create healthy thought patterns is very challenging, right? Because we’re in it. The mind is already in the spin. But instead, if we go to the body where there’s so much more pureness, we don’t get caught up in all the thoughts and the stories and the narratives, then we can find a deeper sense of regulating ourself. And this starts to become really powerful in
pregnancy and postpartum as well because there’s so much happening in our body. We’re more hyper aware of the body so we can actually use our bodies as a tool to regulate the mind and the emotions. So it starts with just slowing the breath. You can put a hand on the heart, a hand on the belly. And instead of just taking a deep belly breath, imagine that you’re breathing in your heart and belly as one unit and that you’re coming into this deeper place inside of you, the true self.
the place that is beneath all the turbulence of all these shifting energies, there is a place of calm. It’s like the waves of the ocean underneath. When you go down, there’s a place of calm in the water where you can access this during any phase of the pregnancy, any trimester, any part of postpartum. And the more you just connect to that place, it could be in moments, it could be in your meditation in the morning, eight, 10, 30 minutes, whatever you got, five minutes.
just so you can access more of this stillness. And what this does, what the HeartMath Institute found in their research, this builds our capacity for coherence. So you wanna do this in the moments when you’re triggered and then you self -regulate, but you also wanna just take those deep breaths and find that stillness when you’re in a good place, because it just builds your coherence baseline, so that means you’re more sturdy and steady, so that when little,
triggers come, the traffic, or someone says an offhanded comment that may feel, you know, thoughtless or whatever it is, you can be more resilient against having these big reactions.
Kimberly Snyder (27:36.91)
And then another last piece of study I want to mention is that sleep quality is so important. And it was even studied in the 2014 study in the National Library of Medicine. 78 % of women in pregnancy took daytime naps. And this was really important to overall. So I want to say that Arruveda says don’t sleep during the day and it’s great not to take naps.
But this study found that it was really important to create enough sleep quality during pregnancy because women aren’t always sleeping so well at night. So the point is that we make allowances, we make shifts for those naps, we get the sleep when we need to. Even that’s in the middle of the workday. I would often nap at lunchtime. We want to give ourselves the space to do that. This is not a time to push through and pretend that we can work at the same exact capacity.
as when we weren’t pregnant, it’s okay to work in a more nonlinear way. It’s okay to give things away during this period. It’s not going to be forever, right? And in the moment, it feels like really long, but then looking back on it, I think, wow, that feels like another lifetime ago. I can still remember the challenges of postpartum, but it is, it was his three, going on four, it feels quite distant now.
But I know it doesn’t feel that way when you’re in it. But the point is to create more of that flexibility and give yourself a break in these periods. So let’s sum up here. We talked about a lot of it interwoven with the research. But during pregnancy, what we want to do is we want to first of all get regular prenatal care. This is important to just check yourself out. And also it will give yourself new confidence and feeling that support because…
We don’t know everything that’s, you know, we’re not meant to know everything and it’s nice to feel that whether it’s a midwife or a doctor, functional doctor, whatever, whoever’s doing your care is supporting you through this and that you have a team around you. They say it takes a village to raise a child and I believe it takes a village to have a healthy pregnancy and postpartum period because we do need that support.
Kimberly Snyder (29:54.99)
So the regular checkups, the touch points, regular care like prenatal massage is absolutely vital. We also want to make sure that our nutrition is on point. Not perfect, but that we’re getting a lot of the glowing green smoothie, lots of greens. You know, people get scared of eating sprouts and raw food. Just wash everything really well. Do your best. Lots of colors, lots of fiber. There’s a billion.
more things I’ll say about this in our pregnancy course, but for here, just making sure that that nutrition is there because it will give you a nice sense of support as your body’s shifting and changing and so are your hormones, right? We wanna stay hydrated and just there’s so much going on in the body and your body’s fluid needs are going to increase during pregnancy. So lots of water, lots of herbal tea, keep yourself hydrated.
keep exercising. As we mentioned, this is a wonderful way for your mental well -being and just your sense of expansion and being part of nature to expand our amazing capacity and to remember that we have this incredible power inside of us to birth and to be in life. We want to practice stress management and call on support, whether that’s therapy, making time to
meditate to create stillness, to rest adequately. And this is true from pregnancy all through postpartum. It’s a lot of work to get your body back into alignment. It’s a lot of work to create breast milk if you are going to be nursing your child. It’s a vulnerable time. We want to rebuild the bones. We want to get a lot more calcium and dense nutrients in. This is the time for all that tahini and the almonds and the almond butter and
all these amazing foods to just put restoration back into the body. Concentrated greens, greens powder, spirulina, all of this is so powerful. We want to make sure that in the postpartum period, you are still getting support or getting more support, in fact. Outsource tasks, cleaning if you can, get your family members to help, get a meal train going. You don’t have to feel the need to entertain. Be okay having these
Kimberly Snyder (32:17.292)
you know, ups and downs in these swings and don’t put so many rigid expectations on yourself. There’s a lot going on. And so you want to give yourself a break. And you just want to pay attention to your own intuition. If there is more that you need to support yourself mentally, emotionally, or physically, spiritually on all different levels and go out and seek that support that resonates with you. And finally, you want to make sure that you’re bonding with the baby. This is such a
beautiful way to alleviate disconnection in the postpartum period and depression is keeping baby on your body. You can bathe together and do some yoga together. And I, you know, for me walking with baby and just sleeping with baby strapped to me and, you know, syncopating the breath and the heart rate, it’s just a really beautiful time.
And if you feel like you need a break though as well and you sort of just need space, that’s okay too. I had a mom friend who didn’t really, you know, she just needed a lot of time not to touch and that’s how she healed. So there’s no judgments. We don’t want to judge ourselves. We don’t want to judge other mothers or anyone else really, because that creates a sense of separation, which ultimately creates suffering in us. When we’re in this flow and just feeling like this incredible,
interconnectedness with ourselves, our bodies, our babies, other people. We enjoy life more and we heal more and we have more natural energy and vitality. It’s these little blocks, whether it’s in toxicity or indigested food or finding a judgment against other people or ourselves. These blocks of energy, these gaps keep us from being in our full flow.
So we have amazing meditations to support you and I will say there will be amazing meditations in the upcoming courses. And check out our new Chilla Gorilla page, which will be coming because I will be sharing free guided meditations around the heart, heart aligned meditation I mentioned to you to create more coherence in yourself. We’ll have that on the Saluna site and there’s gonna be a special Chilla site for meditations if you already have a child.

or you have a child you want to share it with a family member in your life. Because the more coherent we become, the more we can entrain our thoughts to be peaceful. And we will have more. There’s a lot of research around coherence having a positive effect on hormonal regulation. So keep in touch with us. There is a lot going on in the next few weeks, the next few months. And I am so excited to share with you more about this sacred process of pregnancy and postpartum.
