In this episode, we’re diving deep into the essential blood tests and health screenings every new mum should consider after having a baby. Motherhood is an incredible journey, but it also brings new demands on your body that can impact your overall health. Our goal is to help you feel empowered and informed as you transition into this new season whether it's for the first time or 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc.

We’ll walk through specific blood tests to check for nutrients like iron, vitamin D, and B12—key players in maintaining your energy and immune system. We’ll also discuss tests to monitor thyroid function, hormone levels, and any potential postpartum anemia. Each test plays a vital role in understanding and addressing any imbalances that could affect your well-being and your ability to feel your best for your baby.

Next, we’ll break down how to access these tests, from navigating options with your healthcare provider to exploring local labs or at-home testing services that can make these health checks more convenient.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a practical roadmap for postpartum health checks, ensuring you’re as nourished, supported, and healthy as possible to meet the challenges and joys of motherhood head-on.

There's an abundance of options out there when it comes to managing our periods each month as menstruating females.
Pads, tampons, cups, caps, free bleeding, period undies...
Spoilt by choice or overwhelmed with options? We think the former, though we also acknowledge that many of you feel the latter.
So in today's episode, we're breaking it down, pro's and con's-style, with a little sprinkle of personal opinion, professional experiences, and period puns to make it all the more fun.
Would love to know below... What's your fave period-care option and why?

Our guest:

Jin is an osteopath & psychosomatic therapist based in Wanaka New Zealand. She is the founder of the MetaMed clinics in Wanaka and Queenstown- holistic and integrative osteopathy and chiropractic clinics.

Jin is obsessed with the mind-body connection and how your physical body is a manifestation of your emotional state. She believes that many people can return to or remain in a state of health, wellness and fulfillment when they learn to become more aware and listen to their bodies.

She also hosts The Art Of Listening To Your Body Podcasts. She loves to dig deep, speak about the unspoken , and help people process unresolved emotions that hold them back from living the life they truly want. Jin works with people with complex physical and emotional conditions in a 1:1 online setting as well as runs an online group training program for practitioners called Emotional Body Training- to help empower more practitioners with the knowledge of how to read the body and understand where emotions get stuck in the body, how to trigger emotional release, as well as learning to hold space for clients when the release happens.

She’s also a business coach to health and wellness practitioners that want to build sustainable and fulfilling businesses that truly make a difference to people’s lives.

Jin is mum to a 5 year old violet who was born at home by lotus birth, supported by her wonderful partner. She sees motherhood as an amazing transition time that can birth not only a baby but incredible ideas. In the early days of Violet’s life Jin created her business ideas, actioned them and created the life she dreamed of

Guest Bio:

Elizabeth Cullen is a Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Acupuncturist. She is the founder of The Dao Health based in Caringbah in Sydney’s Sutherland Shire where her and her team of Chinese Medicine practitioners are dedicated to creating a practice where patients of the West can confidently and safely experience and benefit treatment learnt from the East.

Through the use of the latest evidence based Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture research each patient is treated as an individual at The Dao Health. Liz seeks the root of the cause rather than the branch to restore the healthy balance both physically and emotionally.

Liz has a particular passion and enthusiasm treating Women’s Health and Fertility and last year she graduated from UNSW with a Masters of Women's Health Medicine to continue to pursue her passion of Integrative Medicine. Treatment ranges from beginning with Menarche and Menstrual issues including Endometriosis and Poylcystic Ovary Syndrome through to Pre conception behaviour, Natural Fertility support, Male fertility support, IUI and IVF support, Pregnancy, Labour preparation and Post natal care.

She treats a range of conditions in the clinic and has interest and experience in the treatment of Bells Palsy, Digestive Issues, Skin conditions, Sleep issues, Chronic Fatigue, Musculoskeletal Issues, Mental Health and Cosmetic Acupuncture.

Elizabeth’s ongoing curiosity with Traditional Chinese Medicine inspires her to travel back to China for ongoing study and in her spare time enjoys taking her two rescue dogs Iris and Arthur to the beach.​
