They discuss the ways motherhood changed them (and the ways they have stayed the same), the experience of being "older" mothers, the balance of caring for children and aging parents, managing your kids' hormonal shifts at the same time as their own, and much more.

Send us a textAs a postpartum provider or professional, it can feel like the standard "bounce back" narrative after birth just doesn't quite capture the profound shifts your clients are experiencing and  you sense a deeper transformation happening beyond postpartum depression and anxiety. Get ready to have your understanding of motherhood completely reframed with Jessie Harrold as she shared the concept of matrescence – the essential and often overlooked developmental transition into motherhood. Forget the outdated idea of simply "recovering"; this conversation unveils how becoming a mother is a radical rewiring on biological, psychological, social, and even spiritual levels, a journey that can take years and demands a whole new level of support and understanding. This is critical postpartum education for all who work with new mothers.Check out this episode on the blog HERE. Key Time Stamps: 02:19: Diving into the definition and significance of matrescence. 05:02: Comparing matrescence to adolescence 07:20: "losing yourself" as a necessary part of mother becoming. 10:52: The growth and reprioritization during matrescence. 13:20: The normative matrescence experiences & postpartum depression. 15:39: Matrescence as a developmental model 16:48: Grieving pre-baby identities.  21:52: Connecting matrescence to adult development 23:37: Mindfulness when navigating postpartum changes. 24:42: The importance of community and tradition in the healing process25:40: Exploring "mother powers" as during this transition 27:38: The challenges of building community in modern motherhoodConnect with Jessie: Jessie Harrold is a coach and doula who has been supporting women through radical life transformations and other rites of passage for over fifteen years.

Send us a textThis week I am delighted to be joined by Sari Rose Barron, LMFT, as we're talking postpartum mental health and how this feeds into parenting.What happens when your four-year-old's tantrum suddenly has you responding exactly like your father did—despite promising yourself you'd never parent that way? Why do certain moments with your children trigger intense emotional reactions that seem disproportionate to the situation?Sari explains how our childhood experiences shape our parenting in ways we often don't recognize. Sari brilliantly distinguishes between mood (our emotional states) and regulation (our ability to manage those states), explaining why even the most well-intentioned parents find themselves hijacked by unexpected triggers."Being a perfect parent actually fosters anxious attachment, not secure attachment," Sari explains, stating that moments of imperfection—followed by repair—are what truly build security in our relationships with our children. We discuss how trauma gets stored in the body and brain, creating automatic responses that feel beyond our control in heated parenting moments.The conversation delves into practical approaches for healing, including EMDR therapy and other trauma-focused modalities that access the deeper, somatic aspects of our past experiences. Sari explains why traditional talk therapy sometimes doesn't reach the root causes of our reactivity, and how recognizing our own trauma responses (fight, flight, freeze, and fawn) can be transformative.Whether you're navigating the intensity of the postpartum period or the challenges of raising teenagers, you'll gain powerful insights into breaking generational patterns and creating healthier relationships with your children. Listen now to understand why healing yourself might be the most important gift you can give your family.You can find Sari online;Her websiteHer InstagramBecause you're wonderful people who listen to the podcast; Sari has given you a Freebie; Here is a link to a 2 minute quiz to find your Parenting Attachment Style!As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles!So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

Send us a textWhat happens when a postpartum provider becomes the patient?In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Miranda shares—for the first time ever—her lived experience with postpartum bipolar disorder. This isn't a conversation wrapped in statistics and clinical jargon. It's raw, it's unfiltered, and it's the story behind why she created the postpartum healing framework that has now supported thousands of women.If you've ever worked with a mother whose emotional shifts feel like more than “just the baby blues,” or if you're a provider seeking to understand the depths of postpartum mental health from the inside out, this is the episode you need to hear. We're talking about misdiagnosis, trauma, gut health, sleep deprivation, and how one woman's fight for her life became a movement for maternal care reform.Check out this episode on the blog: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/my-personal-battle-with-postpartum-bipolar-disorder-ep-214/00:00 – The silence and stigma around postpartum bipolar disorder 03:07 – Birth reflections and emotional shifts begin 05:56 – Support systems break down: Meal train, family, and overwhelm 08:10 – Chaos of postpartum: Alone w/ 3 kids, house construction, a puppy 09:23 – When darkness creeps in: Resentment, despair,  intrusive thoughts 10:24 – Rapid mood cycling: Chipper days followed by terrifying lows 11:26 – The physical toll: Colitis, exhaustion, hair loss 13:19 – The diagnosis: “You have postpartum bipolar” 15:09 – Mania and clarity: Using the highs to plan for the lows 16:58 – The internal struggle: Knowing better but not doing better 18:43 – Nutrition as medicine: Grocery lists, meal planning, supplementing 20:12 – Prioritizing sleep: Hard conversations with her partner 22:29 – Finding what works: Each child's unique sleep needs 23:29 – Delegating and support: What helped lighten the load 24:48 – Breathwork, journaling, and nervous system regulation 26:04 – Recovery: Symptoms gone in three weeks—no meds, no relapses 27:00 – How her experience became the foundation of her method 27:50 – Why this story has remained untold—until now 29:24 – The call for nuanced, honest postpartum careNEXT STEPS:

Send us a textPostpartum weight loss isn't what you think it is.We're pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood and misrepresented topics in postpartum health: women's weight. Dr. Beth Westie is here to set the record straight and blow your mind. If you're a provider still talking about “getting your body back” or encouraging calorie restriction after birth—stop what you're doing and listen in.In this episode, we talk about the difference between healing and shrinking, why the weight loss industry fails postpartum women, and how most “health advice” is based on studies done on men. You'll hear how under-eating, fat restriction, and stress can derail hormone health for years, and why functional medicine and body literacy are the future of postpartum care. This is a conversation every provider needs to be part of.Check out the episode on the blog: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/why-women-need-fat-the-truth-about-hormones-weight-loss-dr-beth-westie-ep-211/Key Time Stamps: 00:00 – Intro: Breaking the postpartum weight stigma 01:11 – Meet Dr. Beth Westie and her work in hormone-based healing 02:00 – Differentiating real support from toxic weight loss advice 04:36 – The male bias in nutrition, fitness, and medical research 08:25 – Why postpartum women need more fat, not less 12:23 – The role of stress, depletion, and unmet needs in healing 16:30 – Why most OBs aren't trained in hormones or root cause care 19:04 – Hyperthyroidism, nutrient deficiencies, and missed diagnoses 27:15 – The normalization of postpartum dysfunction 28:48 – How we shift from symptom acceptance to real prevention 29:32 – Dr. Beth's work in hormone testing and functional care 30:49 – Where to find Dr. Beth + bonus podcast episode linkNEXT STEPS:

Send us a textHere's the truth: 1 in 3 women will develop an autoimmune condition after giving birth, and hardly anyone in modern medicine is talking about it.What if the “normal” symptoms of postpartum—fatigue, hair loss, mood swings, brain fog—are actually the earliest signs of autoimmune disease and red flags that your client's body is waving, begging for help? Today we're busting the myths around postpartum recovery and diving into the root causes of autoimmune disorders in new mothers. If you're a provider still telling clients “this is just postpartum,” it's time for a reality check. We talk about nutrient depletion, leaky gut, inflammation, unresolved trauma, and why functional postpartum care is the only path forward if we want to stop the rise of chronic illness in mothers. If you're still telling clients “this is just postpartum,” it's time to listen in—because this conversation will change how you practice.Click HERE to check out this episode on the blog. Key Time Stamps: 00:00 – Introduction to the silent postpartum autoimmune crisis 01:00 – Normalized symptoms vs. early signs of disease 04:20 – What's normal postpartum and what's not 06:18 – Miranda's personal experience with ulcerative colitis 09:21 – Root causes of postpartum autoimmune disorders 10:34 – Nutrient depletion and immune dysregulation 11:38 – Trauma, nervous system imbalance, and gut health 13:50 – Environmental toxins and stress 15:39 – Genetic myths and epigenetics 16:30 – Reversing autoimmune disease: What's possible? 18:12 – Why most providers miss the signs 20:12 – Why this matters for the future of postpartum care 21:03 – Get on the Postpartum Provider Press NewsletterNEXT STEPS:

Send us a textDid you know that a mother carries her child's cells inside her body for life? Not just emotionally, but physically.  In this episode, we're diving deep into microchimerism, the phenomenon where fetal cells remain inside a mother's body forever. These cells are found in the heart, brain, bones—everywhere. Some research suggests they aid healing, repair tissues, and may even protect against neurodegenerative diseases. But here's the kicker: in some cases, they might also contribute to autoimmune disorders like Hashimoto's and lupus. Motherhood literally rewires a woman's body at a cellular level. Microchimerism isn't just a scientific curiosity—it's a critical piece of the postpartum health puzzle. The difference between these cells becoming a healing force or a health risk depends on how well a mother's body recovers after birth. And that's exactly why postpartum nutrition and holistic recovery are non-negotiable.The six-week checkup isn't enough. If we don't start prioritizing nutrient repletion, inflammation reduction, and real postpartum support, we are failing women—period. If you're a postpartum provider, advocate, or anyone working to change the broken system of postpartum care, this episode is a must-listen.Click HERE to check out this episode on the blog. Key Time Stamps: 00:00 – Intro: The revolutionary science of microchimerism.02:37 – Fetal cells stay in a mother's body for life—what does this mean?05:45 – The autoimmune connection: Can these cells trigger disease?07:51 – The healing power of microchimerism—how it might protect moms. 09:48 – Postpartum depletion & inflammation: The real problem. 11:55 – Why nutrition is the foundation of maternal health. 14:30 – How postpartum care MUST evolve to address long-term healing.NEXT STEPS:

Send us a textIn today's episode, we explore the powerful benefits of spirulina and chlorella—two superfoods that boost energy, improve digestion, and alkalize your body, especially during pregnancy. Each tiny tablet is pure food with the nutritional equivalent of an entire plate of vegetables. Trisha noticed a significant difference in her energy level during her workouts once she started taking spirulina each morning. So we've invited Catharine Arnston, founder of EnergyBits, to explain why these nutrient-dense algae offer superior nutrition. Spirulina, packed with amino acids, delivers 99.9% bioavailable protein for clean, sustained energy. It's also rich in chlorophyll and phycocyanin, which support mitochondrial health and cellular protection. Chlorella, on the other hand, helps detoxify the body and relieve constipation—a common pregnancy discomfort—while replenishing essential nutrients.During pregnancy, spirulina supports fetal brain development with nutrients similar to breast milk, while chlorella provides immune support and gentle detoxification. Plus, with just one serving equaling 1,000 grams of vegetables, these superfoods make filling nutritional gaps easy and affordable.We also cover how to incorporate spirulina and chlorella into your routine, recommended doses, and their key differences: spirulina for nourishment, chlorella for detoxification.If you're looking for a natural way to boost energy, improve digestion, and support a healthy pregnancy, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.

"Saying 'no' to things that drain your energy is saying 'yes' to your well-being. And remember; NO ....is a complete sentence." Alright, providers—let's talk about something we all know moms desperately need but rarely prioritize: boundaries.

Dr. Wilson's book, The Essential Guide to Creating Your Postpartum Self-Care Plan in Pregnancy, opens the vault of information of the postpartum experience that many women are reluctant to share openly with other women about the recovery experience for fear of frightening them. Her bold approach to candid conversations about the mental health issues surrounding childbirth and recovery are inspiring and should be encouraged for women to feel seen and heard.

“Women in the postpartum period need things, right? I think that there's still a major gap, even though we know if you're in maternal health, you know, over and over again that there's not enough that exists for women in the postpartum period—and that's where the majority of pregnancy related deaths happen.” In this episode, Morgan V. Davis, Kaitlyn Hernandez-Spalding, Rasheeta Chandler, and Natalie Hernandez-Green discuss their recent scoping review which examined the perceptions and use of mHealth in postpartum Black Women. They share their methodology, key findings, and recommendations for improving the postpartum outcomes of this population. This episode references the article “Examining the Perceptions of mHealth on Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Postpartum Health for Black Women: A Scoping Review” by Natalie Hernandez-Green and colleagues.

The FDA has approved the first pill for postpartum depression, Zuranolone (Zurzuvae) on August 4th, 2023. We discuss this and more with Katie Galvin, a former speech language pathologist turned women's functional nutrition practitioner, holistic life coach, and postpartum doula, who shares her personal experience with postpartum health challenges and the flaws in the standard allopathic medical model. She discusses the lack of informed consent and alternative treatment options provided by doctors, the importance of addressing the complexity of postpartum health holistically, and the need for proper nutrition and support during the postpartum period. We examine how the drug Zuranolone became approved, the financial conflicts of interest and the potential harms to mothers that take this drug. The conversation highlights the need for a shift in the medical approach to postpartum care and the recognition of the unique physiological changes and emotional challenges women face during this time. The conversation explores the flaws in the current medical system and the need for a more holistic approach to healthcare. It discusses the pressure on doctors to maintain authority and the consequences of this mindset. The conversation also delves into the pharmaceutical industry's influence on medical practices and the lack of informed consent. The importance of addressing the root causes of health issues and empowering individuals to take control of their own well-being is emphasized. The conversation concludes with a call to resist the current system and seek alternative approaches to healthcare.00:00 Introduction: The Approval of the First Oral Treatment for Postpartum Depression02:26 The Flaws in the Standard Allopathic Medical Model for Postpartum Health11:50 The Lack of Informed Consent and Alternative Treatment Options15:01 The Importance of Nutrition and Support in Postpartum Recovery29:01 The Need for a Shift in the Medical Approach to Postpartum Care31:37 Flaws in the Current Medical System43:17 The Pressure on Doctors and Lack of Informed Consent52:19 Addressing Root Causes and Empowering Individuals55:07 The Influence of the Pharmaceutical Industry56:30 Resisting the Current System and Seeking AlternativesNote: This podcast episode is designed solely for informational and educational purposes, without endorsing or promoting any specific medical treatments.

In this episode, Dr. Danielle discusses the importance of supporting postpartum mothers and provides tips on how to navigate the postpartum period. She emphasizes the need for moms to prioritize their health and seek support from healthcare professionals. Dr. Danielle also highlights the common symptoms experienced during postpartum and suggests ways to address them. She covers topics such as hormonal health, digestive health, mental health, and physical activity. Additionally, she recommends specific dietary recommendations, supplements, and lifestyle changes to support postpartum recovery. Takeaways Postpartum mothers often get less attention and support compared to pregnant women, so it's important for them to prioritize their health and seek support from healthcare professionals. Common symptoms during the postpartum period, such as fatigue, constipation, depression, hair loss, and anxiety, can be addressed and should not be considered normal. Testing sex hormones, thyroid function, and blood sugar levels can provide valuable insights into postpartum health and help identify any imbalances or deficiencies. Dietary recommendations for postpartum mothers include consuming foods high in healthy fats, lean proteins, complex carbs, and leafy greens. Supplements such as omega-3 fatty acids, evening primrose oil, magnesium glycinate, B vitamins, and 5-HTP can support hormonal balance and mental health. *NOTE: 5-HTP should *not* be taken with an SSRI as this can lead to Serotonin Syndrome. Supporting digestive health through fiber-rich foods, probiotics, and anti-inflammatory foods is important for postpartum recovery. Prioritizing mental health through social support, therapy, and proper nutrition can help prevent or manage postpartum depression and anxiety. Returning to physical activity postpartum should be done gradually and with guidance from a pelvic physical therapist or appropriate exercise programs. Testing nutrient levels, including vitamin D, B12, and iron, is important to address any deficiencies and optimize energy and mental health during the postpartum period.

Dr. Emilie Clasgens Wilson got her Naturopathic Doctorate and Master's Degree in Acupuncture and East Asian Medicine in Seattle, WA.  Her professional career includes specialties in mental health, psycho-neuro-endocrinology, and helping women lose weight and balance their hormones naturally. She's fascinated by the intersection of science and spirituality, and splits time researching the latest scientific reports, meditating and catching up on Abraham Hicks and Dr. Joe Dispenza's work. A difficult and life-threatening childbirth, followed by a challenging postpartum period particularly with postpartum depression, lit a fire inside her to serve postpartum women during this intensely beautiful and vulnerable time in our lives.  When she's not writing, teaching, or working with patients, she's found in the kitchen cooking and sipping wine with friends and family, on a long walk to the farmer's market with her daughter, or watching something ridiculous and funny for the eighty-fifth thousandth time. She lives in Prescott Arizona, but her heart is in Santa Fe.   Visist Dr. Emilie Wilson's Website: www.SanosWellness.com   Book Mentioned in this Episode - POST: The Essential Guide to Creating Your Postpartum Self-Care Plan in Pregnancy   Grab the FREE GUIDE "The Six Essential Steps to Postpartum Self-Care" by clicking here   Follow Dr. Emilie Wilson on: Instagram   __________________________________ Subscribe to Dr. Lotte's Newsletter Visit Dr. Lotte's Website Stay Connected on Social Meida, follow Dr. Lotte on Instagram & Facebook

Postpartum depression, also called “the baby blues,” occurs in about 10% of women who have a baby. Many times, women feel great in their last month of pregnancy due to the high levels of progesterone in their body.

Happy National Breastfeeding Month! To celebrate, Katie invites Alison Eakle (Shondaland's Chief Content Officer of TV and Film) and Emily Rodgers (former corporate attorney turned stay-at-home mom) to chat about their experiences of surviving post-weaning depression.   The mothers discuss when they noticed that they weren't feeling like their usual selves, and some ways they tried to minimize depression around weaning. They also provide advice to fellow moms who may be suspecting they are also going through similar circumstances.    Plus, what are some additional things that this week's awesome ladies have learned through post-weaning depression that no one told them about?
