I was always interested in the medical field. Unfortunately, I didn't get into medical school, so I thought traditional Chinese medicine was the best alternative. It offered me a chance to practice as a clinician, but in a different role and setting. During my studies, we had a biostatistics computational module. That's where I realized that programming and computational work can be quite interesting.
The postpartum period has long been a time of profound neglect for mothers in America, but fortunately, that's beginning to change-albeit slowly. Postpartum care practices from other cultures are gaining traction stateside, alongside a growing awareness of what new mothers truly need after giving birth. One such need is nourishing, restorative meals that postpartum moms don't have to prepare themselves-meals that, in another time or place, might have been provided by their community.
