The Missing Link to the Maternal Mental Health Crisis: EP103
Women and mothers are in crisis. What are providers missing?
Whole-body support is THE missing link, and nutrition is one of the biggest components to better care. Without it, health outcomes will continue to decline.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down the research that supports this and discussing the science behind the gut’s role in our mental health, inflammation as a precursor to PPD, and so much more.
Recognizing the massive role that food plays in our healing will bring us all one step closer to helping the women and families we serve truly thrive.


In this episode, I am sharing:
- How nutrition is related to postpartum mental health disorders
- Coping vs healing
- The role of the gut brain axis
- Inflammation as a precursor to PPD and PPA
- Antibiotics have a long term impact
- Breastfeeding’s role in hormones and mental health
