Whether you’re preparing for your first birth or curious about how each labor can be wildly different, this episode is a reminder that birth doesn’t always follow a plan—but your body knows exactly what it’s doing.

  • Diagnosing And Overcoming PCOS
    Apr 29 2026

    In this episode of The OrganiMama Podcast, Kristen sits down with PCOS expert Hannah (@theconsciousnutritionist) to unpack what polycystic ovarian syndrome really is—and why so many women are given incomplete answers. Hannah explains that ovarian cysts are often a symptom, not the root cause, and breaks down the deeper drivers behind PCOS including blood sugar imbalance, inflammation, and adrenal stress. She also shares her own personal journey navigating PCOS, from birth control use to the nutrition and lifestyle shifts that helped her heal.

    Together, they dive into practical ways to support the body naturally through nourishing meals, balanced blood sugar, and reducing everyday inflammation. Hannah shares why prioritizing protein, fiber, and healthy fats matters, how cooking methods can impact hormone health, and where supplements like inositol may be helpful.

    Kristen and Hannah also discuss the often-overlooked role of stress, true rest, gut health, and self-advocacy when it comes to healing hormones. Listeners will walk away with realistic tips for meal prep, building supportive routines, and feeling empowered to ask better questions about their health.

    Whether you’ve been diagnosed with PCOS, suspect hormone imbalance, or simply want to better understand your body, this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and actionable tools for long-term wellness.

  • Blood Sugar And Pregnancy
    Apr 22 2026

    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.
