Reclaiming Your Health After Birth: A Functional Medicine Approach for Moms with Belinda Ruiz

In this nourishing and empowering conversation, I sit down with Belinda Ruiz, APRN — functional medicine provider, mama, and passionate advocate for women’s wellness — to explore what it truly means to heal after birth and support the body through every season of motherhood.

Belinda shares her personal journey into functional medicine, born from loss, resilience, and her own health challenges. We talk about why so many women feel “stuck” or depleted postpartum — from hormonal shifts and fatigue to metabolism changes and mood struggles — and how a root-cause, integrative approach can help us feel vibrant and supported again.

Inside this episode, we explore:

✨ Functional medicine vs. treating symptoms

🌀 Hormones, metabolism + postpartum physiology

🥦 Food as foundational postpartum medicine

🧠 Stress + nervous system health for mothers

🧬 Epigenetics + how our habits shape wellness

💧 Gentle detox + lowering toxic load in daily life

💛 Self-care as a form of strength and deep nourishment

Whether you're newly postpartum or years into motherhood, this episode offers science, soul, and simple habits to support your hormones, metabolism, and energy — so you can feel strong, steady, and wildly well in your body again.

About the Podcast

Wildly Well Mamas
Authentic Conversations & Soulful Support
This is a space for mindful mamas committed to living their best lives while raising kids to thrive. The ones setting boundaries, breaking generational patterns, making learning a lifestyle, and raising their kids with intention—even when it feels messy or misunderstood.


I’m Jamie—a mama, wellness coach, and cancer survivor—here to share what I’m learning and have the conversations I wish more moms were having. In each episode, you’ll hear either a journal-style solo from me or a raw, inspiring interview with another mom on the wellness train.


We’ll talk about supporting our bodies through movement, nourishment, rest, and rhythm; regulating our nervous systems, ditching diet culture, living cyclically, raising conscious kids, and coming home to ourselves—over and over again.
No shame. No shoulds. Just stories, insights, and reminders that you’re not doing this alone.


Because when moms feel grounded, inspired, and wildly well—everybody benefits. 🫶
