Are you at a loss at what to eat?
Are you trying to eat well, but it just seems impossible with a newborn/toddler?
Do you find you lack the energy to cook, when that energy is what you're craving for?
Do you feel like eating well is just too time consuming?
Hi, I’m Allegra Gast
I help moms nourish themselves, while they nourish their babies.
I'm a registered dietitian, international board certified lactation consultant, postpartum doula, military spouse and mom.
I'm passionate about helping moms regain their energy and feel like themselves in the postpartum period!
I know what it's like trying to eat right and cook healthy meals with a newborn/toddler. With my husband working long hours, gone on deployments and temporary work assignments, I've had to learn how to cook quick nourishing meals to give me energy to not only take care of my baby, but myself!
Food is medicine and food is FUEL!
Just because you're a "mom" doesn't mean you have to feel tired all the time
Just because you're a "breastfeeding mom" doesn't mean you have to be stuck in your weight
Just because you're a "mom" doesn't mean you can't take care of yourself
STOP running on low energy
The postpartum period is a challenging time. Nurturing your baby both during pregnancy and postpartum, is very demanding on your body.
This demand on your body, depletes your nutrients leaving you feeling tired, fatigue, irritable, and emotional.
Nutrition is SO important during this postpartum period. Food is medicine!
But how do you eat well when you're so tired and drained?
How do you eat healthy when you have a crying baby?
I've got the tools to help you in this postpartum period whether you're 2 weeks postpartum or 5 years postpartum! I'm here to help you regain the energy you're yearning for and really enjoy motherhood.
This program is for you if you want to:
Regain your energy,
yes even when your newborn is waking you up every couple hours
Nourish yourself
You basically just ran a marathon with labor and delivery, and now with breastfeeding! you really want to make sure you're nourishing yourself
Improve your sleep
you might not be getting a full 8-10hrs of sleep *sigh*, but the little sleep you DO get, will be quality sleep
Feel better about your weight
You don't have to wait until you're done breastfeeding to feel good about your weight

"The postpartum approach was thorough and helpful as I prepare for my 4th trimester! As a new mom, sometimes I don’t know what to expect or what questions to ask. This course helped me anticipate what I will need and how to maintain myself and my baby. The power points were clear and the videos were helpful, especially the breastfeeding 101. Thanks to aloha nutrition I now have a “nursing station” set up and ready, some new food plans for nutritious meals that I can have while breastfeeding, and ideas on how to get some sleep while caring for a newborn! I would definitely recommend this course."
The Postpartum Approach was everything that I didn't know I needed for the postpartum period with my first child. The saying "you don't know what you don't know" could not have been more true when it came to my first postpartum experience. I was exhausted, emotional, and quite frankly drowning in the tasks that come along with being a new mother. I had no clue what I was doing and wished at the time that I had done more to educate myself and prepare for what was to come during the postpartum period.
Enter the Postpartum Approach. This course is a completely thorough course that teaches you everything you need to know about the postpartum period. You learn about the importance of nutrition for postpartum recover and nourishing another human, you learn about breastfeeding, but most importantly you learn what to expect during this crazy period and how to navigate it with Allegra as your guide. You learn what healing will look like and how to support healing with food and community, you learn about delegating tasks to friends and family, you learn about exercise, and about finding your village!
With the knowledge learned from the Postpartum Approach, I am SO excited to enter into a new pregnancy and put everything I learned into practice. I know that this time around I have all of the knowledge, resources, and community I need to have a successful 4th Trimester.
