Rebalancing Post Termination

🎙️ On this episode of the podcast, we talk about what really happens to your body before, during, and after termination. Covering everything from hormones, blood loss, nutrient depletion, and how to rebuild. ⚕️ A close look at both methods: medical abortion (mifepristone + misoprostol) versus surgical, how each actually works, and the real comparative data on blood loss. 🩸The part that almost always gets overlooked: pregnancy is a major metabolic event. Your body loses minerals like B12, folate, vitamin D, and zinc. Not due to termination, but as a result of pregnancy itself. We'll explain changes in iron, B12, and folate during early pregnancy and how to restore them after. 🌿 What does evidence-based herbal support look like? From saffron having strong clinical trial data to ashwagandha having some early evidence for calming anxiety, and what gentle herbs like lemon balm and chamomile can do for your sleep. 🧠 How to calm your nervous system using tools like box breathing, spiky mats, and other body-based techniques. 🏃‍♀️ Movement guidance for both surgical and medical terminations and what is actually recommended, when it's safe to return to exercise, and why avoiding baths, pools, and high-intensity training in the first one to two weeks matters. 💛 A reminder that however you're feeling, whether that's grief or relief, it is normal.
