Just Nourish

The thing that nobody tells you about postpartum digestion, and why it changes everything about what you should be eating in those first few weeks.

Swipe through if you're currently pregnant, freshly postpartum or supporting someone who is...this one's worth saving.

The photo above is the origins of our Moroccan Lamb.

Slow-cooked in my trusty cast iron pot in the oven at home and shared with two fussy toddlers for feedback.

And moments like this are exactly where our recipes have all come from...family recipes passed down, experimentation in the home kitchen, or favourite ingredients imagined together by our Just Nourish team.

And so often, slow cooking is at the heart of it. There is something about a cast iron pot in the oven that feels like being taken care of. Like someone thought ahead for you. Love made edible.

These are the meals we grew up with, and it is such a joy to share them 🤍

We spend so much time preparing for birth.

Appointments, lists, thinking about the unknowns...

But recovery? It's often whatever we have the energy to piece together in the moment.

And yet, this is when your body is doing some of its most important work - healing, rebuilding, regulating, giving.

So you deserve more. Proper recovery shouldn't be a luxury, because you deserve the nourishment.

Been quiet on here....

And that's because we are super busy behind the scenes preparing new things to keep you warm and comforted during the colder months.

Can't wait to share more 👀

There is so much info out there about how to eat after birth.

The reality is that most of what you read isn't helpful.

Postpartum nutrition shouldn't be about roles, restriction or getting your body "back".

It's about supporting your recovery, stabilising your energy and giving your body what it needs to heal.

And then later on the reality of trying to do that in a way that actually fits with early motherhood.
