The Truth About Postpartum Depletion: What Every Woman Needs to Know with Christina Paxton, RD
Episode 90
Tuesday, 2 December, 2025
Christina Paxton is a Functional Registered Dietitian and founder of Christina Paxton Nutrition, where she helps postpartum women overcome depletion and rediscover their energy, mood, and confidence through a functional nutrition approach. After years of working with moms who felt dismissed by traditional lab results, Christina developed a method that blends evidence-based nutrition with unique lab and mineral testing to uncover the root causes of fatigue, mood changes, and hormone imbalances. Christina educates and empowers women with practical, doable nutrition strategies that fit real life. In this episode, we talk about: What postpartum depletion actually is and why so many women experience it Why symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, hair loss, bloating, and brain fog are not just "normal" How hormonal shifts after birth impact metabolism, mood, fat loss, and energy Cortisol, chronic stress, and why so many postpartum women feel stuck The importance of minerals — why Christina calls them the "spark plugs" of the body How mineral depletion affects thyroid function, digestion, mood, and blood sugar Early signs of hormonal or mineral imbalances you should never ignore Why so many moms do everything "right" (eat well, work out) and still feel drained What HTMA testing is and how it differs from traditional bloodwork Why your labs might look "normal" even if you feel awful The most common patterns and deficiencies Christina sees in postpartum women How testing can finally help you connect the dots between your symptoms Nutrition mistakes many postpartum women make without realizing Foods and daily habits that naturally help restore balance How gut health ties into hormone balance, mood, and metabolism The emotional toll of depletion — why so many women feel disconnected from their bodies Mindset shifts to help you rebuild trust with your body How to give yourself more grace during the healing process …and so much more!
