29. A Well-Nourished Motherhood with Kim Perez, Founder of Root and Branch Nutrition

Made for Mothers

I'm a big, big fan of today’s guest, Kim Perez, and I feel like we’re kindred spirits. Fun fact - we’re both mothers to boys named Henry!

Kim Perez is a functional nutritionist and women's health practitioner specializing in supporting moms. She founded Root and Branch Nutrition with a mission to normalize nourished motherhood and make it achievable for all moms. Kim challenges societal norms, particularly the 'bounceback' culture, advocating for a paradigm shift in how mothers and motherhood are viewed and supported. As a recovering perfectionist, Kim's transformative journey through her first pregnancy highlighted the importance of feeling happy, whole, and vibrant in her body, especially during motherhood. She believes every woman can feel energetic and resilient throughout pregnancy and beyond, thriving both as mothers and in their daily lives.

In today’s conversation, Kim and I delve into women’s health, nutrition, and the journey of motherhood. We emphasize the need to reject depleted motherhood as the norm and address common challenges women face in accessing reliable health information and guidance. Topics include the impact of stress on metabolism, the significance of minerals and nutrient deficiencies, navigating postpartum challenges during a pandemic (something Kim and I both have firsthand experience with), balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship, and more.

Both passionate about fostering communities for moms, we believe in the crucial support networks mothers need. I’m deeply appreciative of Kim’s impactful work for moms everywhere, including her new membership program, the Nourished Moms Village, which offers empowerment, education, and accountability. If you’re ready to prioritize yourself and live a nourished life in motherhood, be sure to explore the Nourished Moms Village (linked below)!
