Uncovering the Vital Connection Between the Liver, Inflammation and Human Milk

The liver affects milk production—and understanding this connection will transform how you approach common lactation challenges.

Why do parents with gestational diabetes often experience delayed lactogenesis? What's really behind low milk supply in PCOS or insulin resistance? The answers lie in liver function and metabolism.

Robin Kaplan, IBCLC, brings her functional nutrition expertise to lactation consulting in this eye-opening course. Through years of private practice, Kaplan discovered that many puzzling cases of low milk supply could be traced back to liver function, insulin regulation, and systemic inflammation—factors often overlooked in traditional lactation support.

What you’ll learn:

• How the liver’s role in detoxification, hormone regulation, and glucose management directly impacts milk production
• Why parents with PCOS, gestational diabetes, or metabolic concerns face higher rates of delayed lactogenesis and low supply
• The gut-liver axis and how digestive inflammation affects milk supply
• Practical dietary interventions to reduce liver inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity
• Evidence-based guidance on liver-supportive galactagogues like milk thistle, goat’s rue, and moringa
• Affordable nutrition strategies and lifestyle recommendations you can share with families immediately

This comprehensive approach equips you to address root causes rather than just symptoms, helping you create personalized care plans that support both immediate lactation goals and long-term metabolic wellness.
