Preeclampsia is one of those pregnancy complications many women hear about but don’t fully understand — and that lack of clarity can make it even scarier.

This week I’m joined by Dr. Kelsey Hroch, ND, founder of Northern Wellness Collective in Sault Ste. Marie, where she supports women through fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum with a blend of expertise and compassion. Together, we’re unpacking what preeclampsia really is, why it happens, and what women can do to lower their risk and advocate for themselves.

Here’s what we cover in today’s episode:
 ✨ What preeclampsia is, when it shows up (yes, even postpartum), and how it affects the body
 ✨ Why it happens and the risk factors involved (spoiler: it’s not always about lifestyle)
 ✨ The role of stress and cardiovascular health during and after pregnancy
 ✨ Nutrients and dietary strategies that may help with prevention
 ✨ The long-term health implications of preeclampsia and how to advocate for yourself
 ✨ Reassurance for any mama-to-be feeling anxious about preeclampsia right now

This episode is a must-listen if you’re currently pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or simply want to feel more informed about this often-misunderstood condition. Knowledge is power, and Dr. Kelsey shares so many insights to help women feel empowered and supported on their journey.
