Perinatal Nutrition & TCM Research

Clear, evidence-based answers about postpartum nutrition and recovery, and the science behind sitting the moon. I dig into the research on confinement foods, traditional herbs, and global postpartum practices so you don’t have to wade through journal articles while holding a newborn. As a Johns Hopkins-trained dietitian and former Senior Program Officer at the National Academies of Sciences, I spent a decade leading research that shaped federal nutrition policy; now I use those skills here.
