Statistically speaking, new mothers within the US are entering postpartum very depleted of key nutrients. Many of those nutrients have been clinically linked to mental health challenges like postpartum depression and anxiety. And they are also linked to autoimmune issues, especially when these deficiencies go on for a long period of time.

This is NOT a mainstream conversation most healthcare providers are having. 

So it's an episode you won't want to miss if you work with or are one of the 30% of postpartum women diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder! 

In this episode, we're sharing:

1. A detailed look into the two main factors that contribute to autoimmune disease: hormone imbalance (estrogen dominance) and epigenetics (think X chromosomes).
2. How understanding epigenetics is important for moms and how it can help their recovery. Basically, it's all about flipping on the healthy genes (hi, meditation and nutrition) and flipping off the unhealthy ones (we see you, sleep deprivation and stress). 
3. The nutrients that are most essential for preventing and reversing the autoimmune process. 

As if those points weren't fascinating enough, you'll definitely want to listen in to find out what the heck fetal-maternal microchimerism is and why it's so important in breaking the generational cycles of chronic disease.
