About this episode
The postpartum period is a time of a lot of hormonal chaos and rebalancing as a woman’s body needs to heal and replenish while she’s adjusting to new responsibilities and a different pace of life – all during a time of WAY less sleep. This can create a wide range of emotions experienced after having a baby and the most common diagnosis is postpartum depression. In today’s episode, our dietitians will cover what postpartum depression is, how many women are affected by it, and how nutrition can be one of the ways to support those early postpartum weeks and months.
