Summary

Holly and Eric Stein join us to share their journey from overcoming chronic health issues to pioneering a nationwide postpartum meal delivery service with Mama Meals. Bursting with passion for food activism, they reveal how nutrient-dense foods can be transformative not only for postpartum mothers but for anyone on a healing journey. With insights into the interplay between hospital protocols and midwifery practices, we examine how these experiences intersect with the core of our birthing narratives. The Steins' story is a testament to the power of conscious eating, offering a fresh perspective on the importance of postpartum nutrition and wellness.

About Holly &Eric Stein

Holly and Eric Stein were sick constantly as kids. Headaches, ear infections, gut issues, allergies, etc. Doctors visits were the norm, and the answer always seemed to be another pill. They started dating in their mid twenties and fell in love watching food documentaries and studying nutrition, eventually healing their chronic conditions by cleaning up their diet. They became food activists obsessed with helping others, eventually starting Mama Meals, a nationwide postpartum meal delivery.
