Every branch of your immune system is weakened right now. This is very common after pregnancy and birth — your body has given so much. The good news is that the protocol in this guide is designed specifically to rebuild it.
All four main glands are showing impaired function: adrenals (energy and stress), hypothalamus (master regulator), pituitary (hormone control) and pineal (sleep and circadian rhythm). This is why you may feel exhausted, wired, unable to sleep properly or emotionally up and down. This is very common postpartum and very treatable.
We also found impaired function in the uterus and right fallopian tube, with heavy metals sitting in the reproductive organs. These will be addressed more fully after breastfeeding.
Spike protein is sitting on the endocardium (the inner lining of the heart) and the heart's electrical system is showing strain. This is a priority finding. Your practitioner will advise on the appropriate spray to address this.
Heavy metals — including aluminium and fluorine — are sitting in the brain core, midbrain, spinal cord and pineal gland. Beta-amyloid (a protein linked to brain fog and cognitive decline) is also present in the central nervous system, along with microplastics and gluten. This explains any brain fog, poor memory or difficulty concentrating you may be experiencing.
Biogenic salts (mineral deposits) are building up in the joint tendons, articular cartilage, synovial membrane and bursae. This can cause joint stiffness, aching and reduced flexibility — common postpartum as the body recalibrates.
| Deficiency | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Iron | Energy, oxygen transport and immune function. Very common after birth. |
| Magnesium | Sleep, stress, muscle function, heart rhythm and over 300 body processes |
| Copper and Ceruloplasmin | Ceruloplasmin is the protein that carries copper in the blood. Without it, iron cannot be used properly. This is a key finding for your energy levels. |
| Potassium | Heart rhythm, kidney function, muscle function and fluid balance |
| Selenium | Thyroid function, immune support and antioxidant protection |
| Boron | Bone health, hormone balance and brain function |
| Vitamin B12 | Energy, brain function, nerve health and red blood cell production |
| Vitamin B2, B3, B4, B5, B6 | Energy production, hormone balance, nervous system and adrenal support |
| Vitamin B17 (amygdalin) | Found in apricot kernels, bitter almonds and apple seeds. Supports cellular health. |
| Vitamin C | Immune function, collagen production and antioxidant protection |
| Vitamin D | Immune function, mood, bone health and hormone balance |
| Omega-3 | Brain health, reduces inflammation, supports mood and hormones |
| Multiple digestive enzymes | Without these, food cannot be properly broken down or absorbed |
ATP is the energy currency of every cell in your body. An ATP disorder means your cells are not producing energy efficiently. This is why you may feel deeply tired even after rest. Rebuilding the gut, minerals and mitochondrial support will address this.
Your practitioner will confirm the exact sprays and quantities for your current breastfeeding phase. Use as directed.
All supplements below are safe during breastfeeding at the doses listed. Start one at a time so you can see how your body responds. If anything feels off, stop and check with your practitioner.
| Supplement | Why You Need It | When |
|---|---|---|
| Probiotics (multi-strain, 50 billion CFU) | Restores gut bacteria, supports mucosal immunity and helps heal the leaky gut. Also passes through breast milk to support your baby's gut. | Morning, away from food |
| Digestive enzymes (broad-spectrum) | Replaces the missing enzymes — helps break down fats, proteins and carbs properly. Essential given the pancreas finding. | Start of every meal |
| Magnesium glycinate (300mg) | Supports sleep, stress, muscle function and heart rhythm. Safe and beneficial during breastfeeding. | Evening |
| Vitamin D3 (2000 IU) | Immune function, mood and bone health. Most breastfeeding mothers and babies are deficient. | With breakfast |
| Vitamin C (500mg buffered) | Immune support, antioxidant and collagen production. Safe at this dose while breastfeeding. | With meals |
| Vitamin B complex (methylated) | Energy, hormone balance, nervous system and adrenal support. Use a methylated form for best absorption. Addresses the B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 deficiencies. | Morning with food |
| Iron (gentle, food-based form — e.g. Spatone or Floradix) | Replenishes iron lost during birth. Use a gentle form to avoid constipation. Take with vitamin C to improve absorption. | Away from dairy and tea |
| Omega-3 (algae-based, 500mg DHA) | Brain health, mood, reduces inflammation and supports your baby's brain development through breast milk. Algae-based is cleaner than fish oil. | With food |
| Sea moss gel | Contains 92 minerals including iodine, selenium, potassium and boron — all deficient. Supports thyroid, gut and immune function. Safe during breastfeeding. | Daily — add to smoothies |
| Collagen peptides (hydrolysed) | Repairs the gut lining, supports joints and skin. Safe during breastfeeding. | In water or smoothies |
| Nettle leaf tea | Rich in iron, magnesium, calcium and vitamin C. Supports kidney function and is a traditional galactagogue (supports milk supply). Drink 2 cups daily. | Morning and afternoon |
| Moringa powder | One of the most nutrient-dense plants on earth. Rich in iron, calcium, B vitamins and antioxidants. Supports energy, immunity and milk supply. Add to smoothies. | Daily |
This approach is based on the alkaline, mucus-less principles — eating foods that do not create mucus, inflammation or acid in the body. Mucus-forming foods feed candida, clog the lymphatic system and slow healing. You are also nourishing your baby through your milk, so eating well now matters for both of you.
| Food | Why |
|---|---|
| All leafy greens — spinach, kale, rocket, Swiss chard, watercress | Highly alkaline, rich in iron, magnesium and chlorophyll. Essential for postpartum recovery. |
| Cucumber, celery, courgette, asparagus | Hydrating, alkalising and gentle on the gut. Support kidney and lymph drainage. |
| Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts | Liver support, anti-inflammatory and hormone-balancing. |
| Avocado | Healthy fats for brain health, hormones and milk quality. Eat daily. |
| Sweet potato and butternut squash | Alkaline, mineral-rich, good slow-release energy. Supports adrenal function. |
| Beetroot | Supports liver detox, iron levels and blood quality. |
| Garlic, ginger, turmeric, cayenne | Anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory. Use daily in cooking. |
| Lemon and lime | Alkalising in the body. Use in water and cooking every day. |
| Berries — blueberries, raspberries, strawberries | High in antioxidants, low in sugar. Support immune function and brain health. |
| Quinoa, buckwheat, millet, brown rice | Gluten-free whole grains. Good energy without spiking blood sugar or irritating the gut. |
| Lentils, chickpeas, black beans | Plant protein, iron and fibre. Support gut bacteria and energy. |
| Pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, hemp seeds | Omega-3, zinc, magnesium and iron. Eat a handful daily. |
| Walnuts and almonds (soaked overnight) | Brain health, anti-inflammatory, good fats. Soaking removes enzyme inhibitors. |
| Extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil | Anti-inflammatory, antifungal and hormone-supportive. |
| Wild caught oily fish — salmon, sardines, mackerel | Omega-3 for brain health, mood and baby's development. Aim for twice a week — fish is acidic so keep portions moderate given the acidification finding. |
| Organic chicken or turkey | Clean lean protein for tissue repair and energy. Twice a week maximum — all meat is acid-forming, so balance with plenty of alkaline vegetables at the same meal. |
| Organic eggs | Complete protein, B vitamins, choline for brain health. Good postpartum food. |
| Meal | Example |
|---|---|
| Breakfast | Smoothie with moringa, sea moss, berries, banana, chia seeds and coconut milk. Or gluten-free oats with berries, hemp seeds and almond butter. |
| Lunch | Large salad with leafy greens, avocado, cucumber, pumpkin seeds, wild caught sardines and lemon-olive oil dressing. Or lentil soup with leafy greens and gluten-free bread. |
| Dinner | Baked wild caught salmon with roasted sweet potato, broccoli and a turmeric-ginger sauce. Or chickpea and vegetable curry with brown rice and coconut milk. |
| Snacks | Soaked walnuts or almonds. Hummus with cucumber and carrot. A bowl of berries. Rice cakes with avocado and lemon. |
We found a significant emotional burden. Many of these feelings are deeply connected to the postpartum experience — but some have been sitting in the body for longer. Your practitioner will work on releasing these through Emotion Code sessions.
| Emotion | What This Means |
|---|---|
| Helplessness | A feeling of not being able to change things or control outcomes |
| Loneliness | Feeling unseen or unsupported, even when people are around |
| Low self-esteem | Not feeling good enough or worthy |
| Sadness | Grief or loss — this may be connected to the transition into motherhood |
| Stagnation | Feeling stuck, unable to move forward |
| Unsatisfied needs | Needs that have not been met — emotionally, physically or relationally |
| Anger and aggression | Stored anger that has not been expressed or released |
| Anxiety | Worry and fear about the future or about being enough |
All seven chakras are showing blockages. This is connected to the emotional burden and the physical findings. Your practitioner will work on clearing these.
Safety, security, feeling grounded. Connected to the adrenals and survival instincts.
Creativity, emotions, sexuality and reproductive health. Connected to the uterus and ovaries.
Personal power, confidence and self-worth. Connected to the stomach, pancreas and liver.
Love, connection and compassion. Connected to the heart and lungs.
Expression, communication and speaking your truth.
Intuition, clarity and inner knowing. Connected to the pineal gland.
Connection to something greater, spiritual wellbeing and higher consciousness.
