From working in big city hospitals, I had my eyes opened to the healthcare disparities that exist for women in America. Our pain is treated less, our legitimate heart attacks are dismissed as anxiety, we are given birth control for every ailment and gaslighted for symptoms we bring up at appointments. After a few years of working for an industry that was in the business of making people sick instead of making them well, I left and went to a university where I was able to learn just how incredibly intelligent our bodies are and how quickly they can heal when given what they need.<\/p><p><br><\/p><p><br><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>I learned more getting that degree than I ever did in all of my years of nursing school and working as a nurse. In 2022, I started my business, Practical Mama Wellness, where I try to implant everything that I&#8217;ve learned and experienced into practical, real-life strategies for moms like you.&nbsp;<\/p><p><br><\/p><p>Because let\u2019s be honest\u2014most of us don\u2019t have time for elaborate wellness routines, 100-step meal plans, or spending hours in the kitchen making everything from scratch.
