In a Nutshell

A woman with severe autoimmune issues shares her meat-first approach to feeding babies until age 2.5-3, citing research on head circumference and delayed amylase production for starch digestion. She describes traumatic birth experiences, medical gaslighting around vitamin K decisions, and managing four pregnancies with hired help including 24/7 rotating nannies. Her core message is that women need substantial support systems to handle motherhood without resentment, and partners must protect the postpartum period by limiting visitors and reducing stress.
