On today's episode, Meg & Kylie sit down with a mother-daughter duo team Michele & Kate van Es who are the founders of the "Superior Health Experience" women's health company SHE. Mom Michele Duffy has her Doctorate of Nursing Practice degree from Creighton University, received her Functional Medicine Practitioner training at both the Institute of Functional Medicine and the School of Applied Functional Medicine. and has a background in trauma and pediatrics. Daughter Kate van Es has her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology and is a Certified Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

SHE is a holistically-minded, functionally-trained, mother-daughter duo on a mission to transform women’s treatment in the medical community from inferior to superior. From our first experiences as young girls and throughout our final days, we are drastically under-educated about our bodies, medically misinformed, and lied to by the people we trust to take care of us and offer solutions to our pain, symptoms, and confusion. Often, our experiences as women are normalized when they’re anything BUT normal (and are actually symptoms that something is off/wrong and deserves care/attention)! They founded SHE Health to bring unfiltered education, truthful advice, and functional medical care and coaching to help women heal through every stage of their lives while delivering a superior health experience where women’s voices and needs are not only centered/prioritized but trusted.

If you would like to connect with the SHE team you can find them on IG @she_health_ or head over to their website at she-health.net . You can also get started with their Postpartum Relief Plan by going to www.thepostpartumblueprint.com or download the fun "Fridge Macros" they created as a result of our conversation on THIS episode of Curious Women here!

TLDL takeaways/action steps:

1. Cortisol dysregulation is a huuuuge underlying contributer to postpartum depression along with nutrient and hormone depletion

2. Four pillars of relief that SHE's Postpartum Blueprint are: a) blood sugar regulation; b) decreasing inflammation; c) addressing sleep hygiene and d) addressing mental/emotional stress
