joyfalzonemy postpartum journey to restore my core
No CommentsRead moreAs promised, an update on my postpartum journey to heal my pelvic floor and diastasis recti. For those of you following along for awhile, you saw my first post on the 10 week program I had started back in January. If you haven’t read that post yet, head over there for a point of reference and for an interview with women’s health personal trainer Ali Frendin. Ok, I know it’s been a lot more than 10 weeks since January but life happened and I actually had to re-start the program after missing two weeks and losing progress. Today I am recapping what my physical status was before the program and the all progress I saw throughout the program!

joyfalzonewhy chiropractic care is important for pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum and beyond
No CommentsRead moreToday I have the privilege of interviewing my chiropractor Dr. Kim Barber. She went to school at Life University and received her Doctor of Chiropractic Degree (D.C.) in 1996 and has been practicing chiropractic for 21 years. She practices in Bridgewater, NJ with her husband Dr. Joe Barber. I’ve been her patient for about 4 years and I can say that she truly has a passion to help others live their healthiest and feel their best! I have been bringing both my babies as well since they were just a few days old! I love her approach to chiropractic because she looks at the whole person and understands that emotional stress can affect our bodies just as much as physical stress. Chiropractic care is important for everyone regardless of their age but today we are talking specifically why it is important for women who want to become pregnant, are already pregnant and beyond!

joyfalzonetaking care of yourself in the 4th trimester
2 CommentsRead moreThere’s a reason that the six sacred weeks after the birth of a baby are called a woman’s fourth trimester. Her body is still going through so many changes and a massive healing process, regardless of the type of birth she had. Navigating all the bodily changes all while getting to know a brand new human and keep them alive is no easy feat. She is a new person, a mother, or maybe a mother again, which brings on a whole slew of emotional changes as well. I’ve rounded up some ways to take care of yourself postpartum, some of which I learned the hard way, and I hope you don’t have to!

joyfalzoneguest post: personal trainer ali frendin on pelvic floor & abdominal health
4 CommentsRead moreI can barely contain my excitement about today’s post! Why? Because this is a topic women are not talking about enough and which affects our everyday life including our sex life, social life, exercise routines, day to day mothering and just about everything! Today, I have the honor of interviewing Ali Frendin, mum of two littles (yeah she’s an Aussie) and a women’s health personal trainer with over ten years experience. She practices a holistic and full body approach to health and exercise during pregnancy, postpartum and beyond and is backed up by up to date research by leading women’s health physiotherapists. She offers coaching programs in her hometown in Australia as well as online programs for pregnancy, post-natal and pilates.
I came across Ali and Real Fitness for Mums on Instagram just after the birth of my second baby and am so glad I did! I am about half way through her Ultimate Core Restore program and have already had SO MUCH progress (keep reading for details)!

joyfalzonelactation cookies (breakfast bars)
No CommentsRead moreI have two exciting things to share today, one, our second baby decided to join us last weekend at home under the care of my amazing midwives, the Midwives of New Jersey, and two, I am finally sharing what is probably the most used recipe in our house! These aren’t just “lactation cookies” but also a great breakfast for everyone. They are basically a protein-packed oatmeal cookie (and who doesn’t want a cookie for breakfast?)! My husband and toddler love these too.
