Postpartum Recovery: Depleted, Exhausted, and Not Feeling Like Yourself

Postpartum recovery doesn't come with an expiration date. Many women still feel it two, three, even five years later.

You love your baby more than anything, but you're running on empty. You're exhausted even when you get some sleep, your mood swings without warning, and your hair is falling out. Everyone asks about the baby, and almost no one asks how you're doing.

Growing and birthing a baby takes a lot out of your body. Your hormones, cortisol, blood sugar and nervous system all need support to recover. I read your iris with my Iris Hormone Map and review your blood work, so I see the full picture of where your body is most depleted. Then I show you what to rebuild first so you can start feeling like yourself again.

How it works
- Before we meet, you send me three photos of each eye and any recent blood work you have.
- I read your iris and review your labs ahead of time, so our Zoom call goes straight to your patterns.
- No recent labs? I can order them for you.
- You leave with a clear, simple plan that fits your life as a mom.

This is for you if:
- You're bone-tired, even on the nights you get some sleep
- Your mood feels up and down, or you just don't feel like yourself
- You're dealing with hair loss or brain fog
- Your six-week checkup said you were "fine," but you know you're not

It's never too late to recover. I'm happy to work alongside your OB, midwife or doctor.

Q: What is iridology?
A: Iridology is the study of the patterns in the colored part of your eye. I read those patterns to see how your body systems are working together, including your hormones, stress response, digestion and blood sugar. I also review your blood work, so I get the full picture.

Q: I’m breastfeeding. Is this safe for me?
A: Yes. Looking at your eyes and your labs is completely non-invasive. When I make recommendations, I keep breastfeeding in mind, and you can share your plan with your doctor or midwife.

Q: My baby isn’t a newborn anymore. Is it too late?
A: No. Postpartum depletion can last for years. Whether you gave birth six months or five years ago, your body can still recover.

Q: Do I need to come in person?
A: No. This consult is on Zoom, so you can join from home, even during nap time. You send me photos of your eyes and any recent blood work before we meet.

Q: How do I take my eye photos?
A: You’ll take three close-up photos of each eye with your phone in good natural light. It only takes a few minutes.

Q: What if I don’t have recent blood work?
A: If we determine it's necessary, I can order labs for you. Lab costs are separate from your consult.

Q: Will this replace my doctor?
A: No. I don’t diagnose or treat disease. My work looks at root causes and gives you a plan to support your recovery. It works well alongside the care you get from your OB, midwife or doctor.

Q: Do you take insurance?
A: No, I don’t take insurance.

Q: How long until I feel a difference?
A: Every mom is different. Many of my clients notice changes in their energy within a few weeks. Bigger shifts take a few months of consistent support.

Q: Refund & Cancellation Policy
A: All consults are final, and there are no refunds. If you need to reschedule, email hello@angelhillonline.com.
