What if postpartum depression isn’t the problem itself… but a symptom of something much deeper?
This episode is going to make you rethink everything you know about postpartum depression. Something fixable? I'm breaking it all down: the nutrient depletion, trauma, sleep loss, birth medications, toxins, and isolation that are wrecking postpartum health—and why the current system is failing mothers at the root.
If you're a postpartum provider, doula, therapist, midwife, nurse, or birth professional (or anyone passionate about postpartum recovery), this conversation is ESSENTIAL. It's time to stop labeling and start healing at the core. If you’re searching for functional nutrition, perinatal mental health education, and REAL answers for postpartum healing—you’re exactly in the right place.
