Hi, I'm Natalie and I'm not a mama yet! I've always known I want to have kids one day and this podcast is here to help me learn all the things I'm curious about before becoming a parent. I'm not trying to find the answer to when is the right time to have kids, because I think I'll just know, right? I'm just exploring how we can all work on ourselves, build our communities, and refine our lifestyles in ways that will benefit us once we have kids. Whether or not you want to have kids, or aren't sure yet, I think you'll find this podcast interesting and insightful.
EP 43 Astrid Schanz-Garbassi of Agni on nourishing our bodies for periods, pregnancy, and postpartum
In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Astrid Schanz-Garbassi, the CEO and Co-Founder of Agni. Having experienced the power of home remedies and food healing as a child, Astrid has dedicated her career to helping people access foods that can nourish them during important life moments. Working with health practitioners, medical experts, and nutritionists from around the world, Astrid has built three businesses to-date focused on the healing properties of food and good nutrition.
Agni’s goal is collect all of the information and wisdom about healing through nutrition and to turn it into delectable healing foods.
Replenishing the right nutrients at the right time can work wonders for human health. It can balance hormones, shorten the length of surgery recovery, and help new moms produce a higher quantity and quality of breast milk. It can improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety, and even reverse cognitive decline.
To make this happen, Agni built a Medical Advisory Board and assembled a team of food geniuses to create foods and drinks that wow your body and your taste buds.
On this episode, we discuss how Agni came to be, their approach to wellness and the development process of their products, balancing our hormones and supporting each moment of our lives through nourishment.
I hope you enjoy this week’s episode with Astrid!

EP 42 Andrea Ippolito of SimpliFed on breastfeeding and lactation support
Today on the podcast, I have the pleasure of speaking with Andrea Ippolito. Andrea is the CEO and Founder of SimpliFed, a virtual lactation and breastfeeding support service. Their mission to make this type of support more accessible in every way, from affordability to connecting with an expert quickly in the comfort of your own home. There are so many questions that can come up when breastfeeding and pumping, so SimpliFed is making it so much easier to get the answers you need when you need them.
Andrea Ippolito currently serves as the CEO and Founder of SimpliFed. Prior to joining SimpliFed, Andrea served as the Director of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Innovators Network within the VA Center for Innovation. In this capacity, she designed and oversaw the creation of a $10.5M program that provides the tools and resources to VA employees to develop innovations that improve the experience of Veterans and their families. Prior to that role, Andrea served as a Presidential Innovation Fellow based out of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and General Services Administration.
In this episode we talk about why instant, private, expert lactation support is so important, the scope of practice of lactation consultants, and the ideal schedule to begin working with one. We also discuss how lactation consultants are now covered by insurance so more people will hopefully begin to take advantage of that benefit when they need it most.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Andrea!
