so today we’re going to talk about lactation insufficiency

so you just started to breastfeed and you’re finding out there’s just not

enough milk and so what do you do in this situation

well most people will do the natural remedies

fenugreek blessed thistle alfalfa brewer’s yeast

or fennel seed and if you take these it might actually help produce more milk

but what if it doesn’t work what’s going on and what do you do

now the ducts in the breast tissue are regulated by

estrogen and growth hormone and the actual breast tissue requires

progesterone and prolactin so you need a combination of

all these hormones working together now if there has been

a chronic nutritional deficiency you may find

that the actual structures in the breast tissue are altered enough

where these remedies are not going to work right away so what can you do

the ideal scene would be to have you eat a certain way about two years before

you’re pregnant and that way going into pregnancy you

would have no nutritional deficiencies and you would probably have no problem

with breastfeeding so i just wanted to emphasize the vital importance

of what a mother eats when she’s pregnant even before she’s pregnant

and when she’s lactating that is so so important for the future

health of the child so if you’ve already passed pregnancy and now you’re trying

to breastfeed you can still do a lot but you need to

fix the diet you need to absolutely go low carb

and the foods that you eat need to be nutrient dense

vitally important there could be either a subclinical pcos polycystic ovarian

syndrome that’s kind of underneath the radar that’s messing with your hormones

because this is simply high levels of insulin that’s

making too much antigen and the antigen is throwing off these

hormones right here now it also could be a hypothyroid

condition and most hypothyroid conditions are

autoimmune hashimoto’s however when you’re pregnant what’s

interesting is the autoimmune diseases tend to turn off like a switch so you

may find that if you had hypothyroid condition

before you’re pregnant you may not have the symptoms right now

but if you don’t have an autoimmune

condition you have another reason why you have hypothyroid

this could come from high levels of estrogen again related to

hormones the higher the estrogen the lower

the thyroid but iodine is the secret for that if you’re taking enough iodine

while you’re pregnant or even when you’re breastfeeding this

can help regulate the estrogen and help the thyroid but it’s very

important to lower the carbohydrate in the diet

and have foods that are nutrient dense if you’re new to my channel i put a link

down below of how to do that and you have to realize that in order to

turn this around it could take some time so you may want

to contact your local leleche league and get

someone to donate the milk as you correct your body and help to

reverse some of the stuff so you can actually start producing the

milk on your own so it’s a combination of getting your diet corrected and also

taking a few of these right here i like this one the best i would

probably stick with this and this one right here

these other ones also have been known to create some good effects

the other point i want to bring up is this point right here you don’t

ever want to do synthetic prenatals why because it’s just low quality vitamins

you want to get some type of food based prenatal

and they have them not going to recommend any brand you’re going to have

to research that but the synthetics just use very very low

quality ingredients and there’s a big difference between synthetic

and natural vitamins or whole food vitamins

if you’ve already been doing this well just switch to something more natural

the key nutrients to take while you’re pregnant and while you’re breastfeeding

are definitely vitamin d cod liver oil you can get them in little pearls

and trace minerals now other vitamins as well but these three

are the most important to fortify your body

so this infant has the best chance of getting all the nutrients they need

all right thanks for watching before you go if you have a question about a

product or you’re new to keto and you want to

know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and you need a

debug because it’s not going as smooth i have a keto consultant standing by to

help you this is just for the people in the US

hopefully in the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call

but i put the number down below so you can call

and get some help
