Postpartum anxiety is a lot more common than you might think – and you’re not alone if you are experiencing this.

In this episode, I talk with Naturopathic Doctor Dr Madeleine Elton about the real and often overwhelming experience of postpartum anxiety.

Dr Madeleine shares insights from both her personal journey and her clinical work supporting women’s mental health after birth. We cover what postpartum anxiety really looks like, how nutrient depletion plays a role, and simple ways to start feeling better.
