TWM, September 2024 Do you struggle with low energy throughout the day? Hey mama friend, It's been beautiful spring weather recently and my energy peaks this time of year, as I am a huge fan of warmer days. Being pregnant means I struggle with my energy levels some days, so I am trying to be super intentional with 'listening' to my body. The other night we splurged and bought burgers and fries for dinner (yep, sometimes the Wholesome Mama eats fast food ;)) The next day, I had a really low...

The Wholesome Mama Helping you look after your gut health, mama. Hey friend, Do you realise that so many sicknesses and diagnoses stem from your gut? Growing up, I had a gluten and wheat sensitivity.
