Amy shares her journey into hyperbaric oxygen therapy, beginning with her work in the commercial dive industry and transitioning to medical applications.

Additionally, the episode explores red light therapy, which Amy also offers at her clinic.

Title: 120 | The 1st step to reducing anxiety in Postpartum as First-time Mom Welcome to the New Mom Naturopath Podcast! Exercise can significantly reduce anxiety in postpartum by leveraging the body's natural mechanisms for mood regulation. Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural mood lifters, and reduces stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, helping to alleviate anxiety. Regular exercise also boosts serotonin and dopamine levels, neurotransmitters critical for maintaining a positive mood. Engaging in various forms of exercise, such as aerobic activities, strength training, yoga, and outdoor pursuits, not only helps manage anxiety but also provides a sense of accomplishment and mental resilience. Incorporating enjoyable and consistent physical activity into daily life, whether through group classes, outdoor activities, or simply taking a walk, can be a powerful tool for new moms to manage postpartum anxiety effectively.

Show Notes for Episode 90: The Number One Way to Increase Your Milk Supply When Breastfeeding Today, we're tackling a topic that I know is on the minds of many breastfeeding mothers: how to increase your milk supply. If you've ever felt concerned about your milk production, you're certainly not alone. I've heard countless tips and tricks over the years about boosting milk supply, and it can be overwhelming to sift through all the advice. Today, we're going to cut through the noise and focus on the most effective strategies backed by physiology and expert advice. First, we'll dive into the physiology of milk production and the let-down reflex. Understanding these biological processes can help you optimize your body's natural ability to produce milk. Next, we'll explore the infant sucking reflex and its crucial role in stimulating milk production. This will give you insight into how your baby's feeding habits influence your milk supply. The primary concept we'll discuss is the idea of 'empty to increase supply.' This means increasing the frequency of breast stimulation—whether by nursing or pumping—rather than extending the length of each session. It's about how often, not how long. Additional Ways to Boost Supply: Adequate Hydration: While staying hydrated is essential, you don't need to overdo it. We'll debunk some myths and set realistic expectations for fluid intake. Adequate Nutrition: We'll discuss the importance of maintaining good nutrition, continuing your prenatal vitamins, and ensuring you're getting enough protein and overall caloric intake. Lastly, I highly recommend talking to an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). They can provide personalized advice and support to help you understand and increase your milk supply effectively, without adding to your stress. We'll summarize today's insights and remind you that while breastfeeding can be challenging, the right information and support can make a significant difference. You're doing an amazing job, and sometimes, just a few tweaks can improve your breastfeeding experience. Thank you for joining today. Remember, you're not alone in this journey—we're here to support you every step of the way. Until next time, take care of yourself and keep nurturing both yourself and your little one.

  Show Notes for Episode 88: 3 Tips For Preventing Diaper Rash in a Newborn Hello, amazing moms! Welcome back to the podcast. Today, we're diving into a common but often troublesome issue that many new parents face—diaper rash. If you've ever dealt with diaper rash in your little one, you know how distressing it can be for both you and your baby. Fortunately, there are straightforward steps you can take to prevent this uncomfortable condition. Introduction to Diaper Rash Prevention: Diaper rash can seem like an inevitable part of baby care, but there are effective ways to minimize the risk and keep your baby's skin healthy. Drawing from the advice of Dayne's boss, who has been through this and found what works, today we're sharing three key tips that are easy to implement. Key Prevention Tips: Keep It Dry: Moisture is the enemy when it comes to diaper rash. I'll discuss the importance of changing diapers frequently to ensure your baby's skin stays dry and rash-free. This might seem straightforward, but keeping ahead of moisture can be challenging during busy days or nighttime hours. Use Clear and White Products: We'll explore why using clear or white diapering products can make a big difference. These products are typically free from dyes and perfumes that can irritate a baby's sensitive skin, helping to prevent diaper rash before it starts. Avoid Scented Diapers: The allure of scented diapers can be strong, but these products often contribute to skin irritation. I'll give a special shout out to Costco's unscented diapers as a great option for parents looking to protect their baby's delicate skin. Wrap-Up and Resources: We'll summarize today's tips and discuss additional resources where you can learn more about newborn care and skin health. This is about giving you the tools you need to prevent diaper rash effectively, making your baby care routine a little easier. Closing Thoughts: Dealing with diaper rash can be stressful, but with these tips, you can take proactive steps to protect your baby's skin. Remember, every small measure can contribute to your baby's comfort and well-being. Thanks for tuning in to today's episode.

Show Notes for Episode 87: 3 Things to Do When You Are Nap Trapped as Anxious Postpartum Mom Welcome back, wonderful moms! Today's episode tackles a topic that I know resonates deeply with many of you: feeling "nap trapped" during those precious yet challenging moments when your baby is asleep, and you're caught between the need to rest and a whirlwind of tasks. If you've ever felt stuck and anxious during these times, this episode is crafted just for you. Introduction to Being Nap Trapped: It's common to feel trapped or immobilized while your baby naps. You might be physically restricted under a sleeping baby, or feel like you can't move around much for fear of waking them. This can often amplify postpartum anxiety as you're torn between resting and tackling an ever-growing to-do list. Here's What We'll Explore Today: Optimize Your Feeding/Nursing Station: I'll share tips on how to set up a nursing or feeding station that ensures everything you need is within reach. This setup minimizes stress and maximizes efficiency, allowing you to relax a little while your baby sleeps. Meditation Techniques: Incorporating meditation can significantly help manage anxiety. I'll guide you through simple meditation techniques that you can do in a quiet moment, which are perfect for calming the mind and easing the tension of being nap trapped. Embrace Learning: Being home with a baby doesn't mean putting your personal growth on hold. We'll talk about how you can use this time to learn something new—be it through a podcast, an audiobook, or an online course. This can be a wonderful way to redirect your mind and engage in something productive. Bonus Tip - Finding 'You' Time: Finding time for yourself might seem impossible in postpartum life, but it's crucial for your mental health. I'll discuss how to find small pockets of 'you' time, even if it's just a few minutes to sip a cup of tea or read a page of a book. Wrap-Up and Invitation to Our Community: We'll summarize today's insights and invite you to join our Facebook group where we continue these discussions. It's a place to share experiences, seek advice, and find support from fellow moms who truly understand what you're going through.

Show Notes for Episode: Embracing Imperfection: The Real Reasons You Feel Overwhelmed as a New Mom Hello, amazing moms! Welcome to today's episode where we dive deep into the emotional rollercoaster that is the postpartum period. If you've ever felt like you're just not cut out for this, or if every little cry from your baby sends you into a spiral of self-doubt, this is the episode for you. Introduction to Postpartum Overwhelm: Postpartum isn't just about physical recovery; it's a profound emotional journey too. You spent your pregnancy worried about labor, and now, faced with a baby who needs you relentlessly, it's easy to feel like you're failing at the most basic tasks. Personal Story: I'll share a poignant moment from my own life, walking into Target with my newborn son. His casts were clearly visible, and I felt every stare as a dagger of judgment. What I thought was best for my baby seemed to invite silent criticism, magnifying my deepest fear—that I wasn't cut out for motherhood. Navigating Early Motherhood Challenges: The constant touching and lack of personal space. The sleepless nights and unending tears (from both you and your baby). The societal pressure to make all the right choices from day one. Key Questions Every New Mom Faces: Decisions about returning to work and choosing the right daycare.

Introduction to Oversupply: It's common to stress over every drop of milk you produce. Watching those pumping sessions closely and seeing only a few ounces can be disheartening, especially when it feels like everyone else has a freezer full of milk.

It was messy—milk leaked on everything all the time, leading to constant discomfort and a never-ending laundry pile.

I'll discuss some strategies that might help, but remember, it's often a trial-and-error journey. While it might seem like having an excess of milk would ease all your breastfeeding woes, the reality can be much more complicated. Today's talk is all about shedding light on the less-discussed aspects of having too much milk and offering support and understanding to those who are experiencing these challenges. If you're struggling with oversupply or just curious about the realities behind it, this episode is meant to provide you with insights and hopefully some relief in knowing you're not alone in this.
