Send us a textWhat if the very foundation of modern care—science alone—is the problem?You see the stats: mothers are drowning in postpartum depression, crippling anxiety, and mysterious autoimmune flare-ups. You're doing the screenings, you're following the standard protocols, but the lasting solutions are elusive. What if the very foundation of modern care—science alone—is the problem? Maranda dives into the six critical limitations of medical science that are actively harming mothers in the fourth trimester. This isn't anti-science; it's a call for a more honest, holistic postpartum health model. This episode exposes the six critical limitations of medical care actively harming the fourth trimester. We break down why relying on RCTs ignores millennia of successful traditional postpartum practices. Discover the Three Pillars of Knowledge for root-cause resolution in perinatal mental health and move beyond symptom managementCheck out the episode on the blog HERE: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/the-6-critical-blind-spots-of-science-that-are-harming-postpartum-moms-ep-242/Key time stamps: 04:15: Miranda's personal story: Dismissed with Zoloft, actually had thyroid dysfunction, gut infection, and severe nutrient deficiencies.09:05: The Three Pillars of Postpartum Knowledge: Science, Women's Stories, and Traditional Practices.11:47: Limitation #1: Science is money-driven and prioritizes patentable solutions over holistic postpartum practices.16:30: Limitation #3: Dismissing millennia of traditional care (like warm, cooked foods) as mere anecdotal evidence.21:20: Limitation #4: Doctors are taught pathology, not how the body actually heals, leading to a focus on pieces instead of the whole.26:38: Limitation #5: The male bias in research and leadership and why women were historically excluded from clinical trials.31:45: Limitation #6: Time lag in policy change—it takes 10-15 years for new evidence to become standard practice.34:23: Clinical Example: Client with "medication-resistant PPD" actually had Hashimoto's and severe B12/Ferritin deficiency.36:50: Call to Action: Believe your client, investigate beyond basic labs, and hold providers accountable for outdated care.40:17: Final thought: Science alone is not enough; we need all three pillars for comprehensive, root-cause postpartum support.

POUR ÉCOUTER L'ÉPISODE EN ENTIER TAPEZ "LUCIE SUPER MAMAS" SUR VOTRE PLATEFORME DE PODCASTPlus de 20% des accouchements se font par césarienne, rien que ça tiens ! Alors il était évident pour moi de donner la parole aux femmes qui vivent ça, ici sur Super mamas. Car oui, des épisodes de césa, on en a déjà eu mais là, je voulais mettre en lumière la voix d'une mère qui a vécu cette expérience de manière positive et ultra joyeuse. C'est donc la jolie Lucie qui me fait l'honneur de venir témoigner à mon micro. Après une endométriose sévère diagnostiquée au moment de se lancer dans le projet bébé, Lucie et son mari Fabio on fait leur entrée dans le monde de la PMA. Un parcours stressant mais plutôt rapide a précédé la fameuse prise de sang positive qu'on attend toutes ! Malgré un début plutôt facile, on annonce vite à Lucie qu'elle va devoir accoucher par césarienne à cause d'un placenta placé trop bas.Alors comment ça se passe dans la tête d'une future maman quand on nous annonce hyper tôt qu'on accouchera par césarienne ? Comment un cours de prépa à l'accouchement hyper précis et rassurant peut nous aider à faire de ce moment, un moment de calme et de sérénité ? Et puis finalement, est-ce qu'il est possible de garder un super souvenir de cette opération ? Lucie nous montrera que OUI, la césarienne peut bien se passer et qu'avec une confiance en soi affirmée et des connaissances solides, la césarienne est aussi une très belle manière de rencontrer l'amour de sa vie.Je vous souhaite une très belle écoute. *** Pour retrouver l'univers de notre super mama et les ressources citées :

Content Warning: This episode discusses themes that may be upsetting. We discuss postpartum depression and psychosis, suicidal ideation, overdose, severe mental health issues and disassociation. Listener discretion is advised. The postpartum period can be one of the most isolating and lonely times of someone's life. You've just grown and birthed an entire human, your hormones are all over the shop, and you're keeping your little one alive while sleep-deprived and trying to remember the person you once were. It's often not a great recipe, yet we're still sold the idea of bliss being wrapped up in a 'newborn bubble'. In this episode, Kel and Kee discuss their own experiences with postpartum mental health and chat with someone whose experience led her to a psychiatric facility only weeks post-birth. This is an honest and raw conversation; let it remind you that you're never alone. If you or someone you know is in crisis and needs help now, call triple zero (000).

Whether you're a new mom or preparing for postpartum, this episode reassures you that lochia is a normal part of recovery and a sign of your body's incredible strength.Key Topics DiscussedUnderstanding Lochia: Lochia is your body's natural healing process after the placenta detaches, leaving a large wound (about the size of a dinner plate) in the uterus. It involves shedding blood, tissue, and leftover cells as the uterus shrinks back to its pre-pregnancy size. Trish describes lochia as the visible part of this internal cleanup.The Three Stages of Lochia:Lochia Rubra (Days 1-4, up to 7): Bright red, heavy bleeding similar to a period. Small clots are common, especially after standing or nursing (which releases oxytocin and helps the uterus contract).Lochia Serosa (Days 5-10, up to 2 weeks): Lighter flow turning pinkish-brown. Clots should be rare and very small, indicating the uterus is contracting effectively.Lochia Alba (Week 2 to 6+): Yellowish or whitish discharge with mucus. This signals the final stages of wound closure.Note: Everyone's body is different, so timelines may vary. If bleeding suddenly returns to bright red after lightening, it's a signal to rest - your body is saying you've overdone it.Practical Tips for Managing Lochia and Postpartum Comfort:Underwear and Pads: Embrace hospital mesh panties or disposable incontinence underwear in the early days. Use giant postpartum pads (ask for extras at the hospital).No Internal Products: Skip tampons or menstrual cups until cleared by your provider - your cervix is open, and infection risk is high.Peri Bottle: Fill with warm water to gently clean the area instead of wiping. Pat dry for comfort. Add witch hazel or aloe if approved.Sitz Bath: Use warm water (with Epsom salts or safe herbal mixes) in a portable basin on the toilet. Great for soothing stitches, swelling, hemorrhoids, or general freshness.Witch Hazel Pads (Tucks Pads): Refrigerate and line your pad with them for cooling relief from soreness, swelling, or hemorrhoids.Nutrition and Hydration: Stay hydrated and eat iron-rich foods to rebuild blood volume and support healing. When to Call Your Provider: While lochia varies, watch for red flags and seek help immediately if:You're soaking a pad in an hour or less.Passing clots larger than a golf ball (notify even if smaller ones occur after lying down).Bleeding has a foul smell (beyond normal).You feel dizzy, weak, or short of breath.Persistent bright red bleeding after resting, especially weeks in.Trust your instincts - better to report concerns and prevent issues like hemorrhage or infection.More from this episode:Postpartum Recovery Essentials Amazon ListHelpful Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Postpartum Bleeding00:53 Understanding Lochia: The Healing Process01:44 Stages of Lochia: What to Expect04:16 Practical Tips for Managing Postpartum Bleeding09:11 When to Call Your...

Whether it's 3AM wakeups, spiraling thoughts, phobias, or that constant undercurrent of unease, anxiety can feel like it's running your life. That's why I recorded this solo episode—to share the real-life tools that help me cope, move forward, and feel like myself again. I'm answering your most asked anxiety questions—about nighttime anxiety, fear of flying, OCD tendencies, and feeling stuck in therapy. I'll share how I reframe my inner critic, what I say when I feel like a burden, and why I believe anxiety doesn't make you broken. This isn't about being “fixed.” It's about supporting your nervous system, getting curious about your patterns, and finding tiny, doable shifts that will make life feel lighter.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Stephanie Redmond, PharmD, PhD, and founder of Dr. Stephanie's, to explore how pharmacology is transforming the world of supplements and functional medicine. With dual expertise in endocrinology and pharmacotherapy, Dr. Redmond offers a rare perspective on how medications, nutrients, and hormones intersect — and how precision-based formulation is reshaping metabolic health.After years in clinical practice, Dr. Redmond noticed a glaring gap: most supplements on the market are underdosed, underperforming, and poorly understood. Her approach flips the script — using clinically validated, therapeutic dosesof ingredients designed for real efficacy and safety. “It's not about marketing,” she explains. “It's about measurable results.”The conversation dives deep into her breakthrough innovations, including Purify Colostrum, developed using AI-assisted filtration to isolate bioactive glycoproteins compatible with the human body — delivering seven times more anti-inflammatory power than standard colostrum. She also shares insights on her GLP-1 support formulations, designed to complement popular medications like Ozempic by addressing nutrient depletion, digestion, and hormonal balance.Together, Dr. Ekta and Dr. Redmond unpack what ethical, evidence-based supplementation truly looks like — where pharmacology meets function, and science replaces hype.Tune in to hear how Dr. Stephanie Redmond is redefining modern supplementation and why, in today's world, foundational nutrition is no longer optional — it's essential.Learn more about Dr. Stephanie's on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome1:01 – Dr. Redmond's Path from Pharmacy to Endocrinology2:18 – Bridging Medicine, Supplements & Pharmacology4:43 – The Role of Pharmacists in Holistic Care7:09 – The Gap in Supplement Education & Dosing8:58 – Colostrum: Nature's “First Milk” Explained11:05 – Human vs. Bovine Colostrum & Compatibility14:44 – Postpartum, Perimenopause & Hormonal Health19:01 – GLP-1 Support Supplements & Metabolic Health27:27 – The Future of Foundational Wellness & Supplement TestingPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

This week on Two Parents & A Podcast, we're joined by the Rochells (or should we call them the Kuch family??) — Allison Kuch (content creator, podcaster & self-proclaimed “30-year-old teen mom”) and her husband Isaac Rochell (former NFL player turned broadcaster and certified girl dad) for a double date. We talk about everything — from how they met at Notre Dame (and yes their first date was at Starbucks like Google says) to surviving long distance, navigating finances, and redefining “success” after becoming parents. They open up about solo parenting while busy with work travel, postpartum depression, exclusive pumping for a year (aka living attached to “the robot”), prenups, and how they keep their relationship strong through all of it. Plus: girl vs. boy parenting, who's the better cook (“Dads Eat Last” energy), their flight-point obsession, and what their next chapter looks like now that life after football is in full swing.
