Urggghhh postpartum hair loss sucks 😫

But there are 3 things I need you to address before you think it’s normal and just accept it.

1 - you HAVE to get your ferritin > 100. This is tricky with diet alone so take an iron supplement. We need iron to make red blood cells. And we need red blood cells to carry oxygen to hair follicles to stimulate growth.

2 - Check your thyroid levels (TSH). Postpartum thyroid issues can occur and hypothyroidism can lead to hair loss. One simple blood test.

3 - Please eat well and increase your protein. As new moms we don’t look after ourselves and food is not a priority! BUT we need protein and calories to grow new hair.

Please share with a new mom 🩵

Last week we visited Quest Outreach Society to donate some of our kids vitamins. Quest are non profit grocery stores offering greatly reduced food and supplies to families facing financial hardship. An important bridge between a food bank and a grocery store 🫶🏼

None of this could have been possible without Kids Life Foundation and their wonderful founder Amal. An incredible North Shore Charity bringing families together 🩷

Did you know that too much cow’s milk is one of the most common dietary risk factors for iron deficiency in young children? 🥛

Cow’s milk isn’t “bad” - it’s a nutritious source of calcium, protein and vitamin D. The issue is when children drink too much of it…..

Here’s why:
🥛 It fills them up, so children may eat fewer iron-rich foods.
🥛 Calcium can reduce iron absorption when consumed at the same time.
🥛 In some young children, cow’s milk can cause tiny amounts of blood loss from the gut, further contributing to iron deficiency.

For most children aged 1-5 years, we recommend limiting cow’s milk to around 500 mL (16–20 oz) per day and offering plenty of iron-rich foods such as lean red meat, beans, lentils, fortified cereals and leafy greens. Pairing these foods with vitamin C-rich fruit or vegetables can help improve iron absorption.

Remember: cow’s milk is an important part of many children’s diets - it just shouldn’t replace a balanced diet rich in iron.

📍 Save & share with any milk loving family 🐄

When your wardrobe is basically 50% FIGS scrubs and 50% Lululemon… 🤷‍♀️

One outfit for saving lives 👩🏼‍⚕️
One outfit for recovering from saving lives 🤣💪🏽

(And maybe ALO on special occasions….)

I panic if someone invites me out and I have to wear something smart 😳

Who else can relate?! 😂

A question I’m often asked is ‘how do I know when my daughter will start her first period?’ 👩🏼‍⚕️
Most girls start their period between 10-15. The average age is 12-13.

5 signs her period will arrive in the next year or two….

1. A growth spurt – Many girls grow quickly in height in the 6–12 months before their first period.

2. Breast development – Usually the first sign of puberty. A first period typically starts about 2–3 years after breast buds appear.

3. Clear or white vaginal discharge – This often appears 6–12 months before the first period and is a normal sign that hormones are increasing.

4. P***c and underarm hair – Hair becomes thicker and more noticeable as puberty progresses.

5. Mood swings - very common with hormone fluctuations in the year leading up to her first period.

👩🏼‍⚕️ ❗️ When you notice the first signs of puberty it is a good idea to start talking about periods with your daughter! Also make sure you pop a sanitary pad in her school bag so there is no embarrassment if she starts her period at school.

*** if you notice any signs of puberty before the age of 8 it is important to see your doctor as puberty should not start before then. If puberty starts too early it can detrimentally affect adult height.

This is your sign to do something that scares you….

A few weeks ago I was on vacation, contemplating entering a pitch competition for The Kids Vitamin Doctor. I hesitated as deep down I didn’t think I would get through and I am also terrified of public speaking. The thought of being on stage scares me a lot. Fast forward a couple of weeks and I’m through to the final. I have to present on stage - a 3 minute pitch with 5 minutes Q&A afterwards. Gulp.

The day arrives and I’m nervous but feel confident with my pitch as I know our products so well and I truly believe in our brand.

Walking up to the stage my heart is racing but once I’m on, a wave of calm comes over me. I deliver the pitch and answer the questions confidently. I did it! And apparently I didn’t look nervous at all according to my peers 🧐 hmmmmm

The Kids Vitamin Doctor won the NextGEN Summit pitch award. I couldn’t quite believe it! The whole event was incredible and I’m so glad my husband pushed me to do it. I met so many amazing people - founders, investors, entrepreneurs, volunteers.

So, if you’re worrying about applying for something - a new job, a pitch, a competition… this is your sign to go for it. You honestly just never know 🩵

Sadly good nutrition isn’t always accessible - many families are really struggling with the increased cost of living. We wanted to support 2 amazing charities that help women and kids on the North Shore ✨ North Shore Women's Centre North Shore Crisis Services Society

We donated boxes of our kids vitamin gummies and sprays in the hope that these will be helpful for some of the families in need.

Thank you for all that you do to support women and families in our community 🩷

And thanks to the incredible Kids Life Foundation Kids Life Foundation for coordinating everything for us 🫶🏼
