Hey, this is Amanda, women's health dietitian. And I'm Emily, nutritional therapy practitioner.

And this is the RU menstrual podcast, where we help you navigate the confusing world of women's hormones and teach you how to have healthy periods.

Each week, we will be diving into a different topic on women's health and sharing our perspective using nutrition, female physiology, and metabolic health.

Our goal is to help you wait through conflicting health information and empower you on your healing journey.

We hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, we are focusing on postpartum exercise with Dr. Lindsay Matthews Cantu.

Lindsay is committed to supporting women in the various seasons of their lives.

She started birth fit in 2013 with a deep belief that movement can be the bridge to cultivate

our own intuition and a trust in our bodies.

Lindsay is a nervous system-based chiropractor, mercier therapist, birth dula, NLP practitioner,

and strength and conditioning coach. Through all of the hats she wears in this world,

she created birth fit as she saw a huge gap for sustainable nervous system-based movement and

training for women in all chapters in cycles of

their lives, specifically cycling, preconception, pregnant, and postpartum women. Beyond birth it,

Lindsay works in her chiropractic wellness practice, Willow House that she co-founded with Dr.

Brea and Matt Much. The majority, if not all of her clientele that she sees in her office are women in

pediatrics. And in her spare time, Lindsay enjoys connecting with her husband, Lance, working in

her garden, and taking long, slow walks. Thank you so much for being here, Lindsay. I'm excited to
