#66 Sheridan Joy Austin: Nutrition Advice for Preconception, Pregnancy & Postpartum
•
Hello, and welcome to the Natural Birth Co. podcast. I am so excited to bring you this amazing episode with the one and only Sheridan Joy Austin, who, after going through her own health stuff in her early twenties and teens, went on to become a nutritionist and then went on to become a Gut & Psychology Syndrome Practitioner.
After being in the health and nutrition space for nearly 10 years and working with clients with an array of gut health, immune, hormonal issues and more, in 2017 she became pregnant with her precious little boy Malakai. It was throughout that pregnancy that she became overwhelmingly passionate about how to nourish her growing baby and herself through such a physically demanding time.
As a nutritionist and GAPS practitioner - she couldn't find the quality we all deserve, free from synthetic nutrients, flavours, fillers and emulsifiers, 100% certified organic, and the most nutritious foods on the planet.
So, she went on to create her company foraged for you, which has the mother's blend which is absolutely amazing for mamas and humans in general. (I take the mother's blend, and all of our NBC mamas take it too).
In this episode we discuss:
- Sheridan’s Birth Stories for her two baby boys
- Nutrition advice for the preconception phase (for both mom and dad)
- Nutrition advice for the pregnancy
- Nutrition advice for postpartum
This podcast is for:
- Any mamas or mamas-to-be who are interested in nutrition
- Mamas who enjoy a good birth story
- Health conscious mamas

Her first babe was what she describes as a traumatic birth experience, ending in an emergency C-section. This birth included ALOT of struggles, unplanned adaptation and shock, leading to Emmy’s experience of postnatal depression. Accidently only 6 months after she became pregnant with her second baby, where Emmy experienced the most empowering, intuitive led, healing home birth VBAC experience you could ever imagine (not even being dramatic. Due to the sheer detail and depth of Emmy’s experience, we recorded the first podcast then realised (after 3 hours) we had left out so bloody much of her experience!
