Meet Jes, holistic hyperemesis gravidarum expert and morning sickness coach. Jes shares her own HG story, multiple hospitalizations, prescriptions, and the moment she said “there has to be a better way”, and how she reverse-engineered her HG by targeting root causes instead of masking symptoms.In the episode, we dig into:HG vs “morning sickness” as a spectrum, and how feeling debilitated is a red flag.The uncomfortable truth about pregnancy meds like Diclectin/Zofran: when they’re a necessary bridge, what they do (and don’t) fix, and why informed consent matters.Jes’s functional approach, how she weaned off meds and stopped vomiting within days.Why minerals are foundational and how depletion can show up later in mom and baby.The importance of preconception prep to prevent HG and build a resilient blueprint for baby.If you’re in the thick of HG, planning another pregnancy, or you simply want a healthier baseline before conception, this episode is for you.--Get Jes’s mineral guide: Connect with Jes: @the_wellness_element on instagram and The Wellness Element podcast.
