Navigating Postpartum Pressures

Counterculture Health

Are you feeling the pressure to "bounce back" after childbirth? Struggling with postpartum anxiety or depression? In Episode 13 of Counterculture Health, hosts Dr. Jen McWaters and Coach Kaitlin Reed tackle these pressing issues head-on.

Join us as Kaitlin breaks down the societal expectations that new mothers face and why high-intensity workouts and dieting are a no-go during this crucial period. Dr. Jen dives into the mental health challenges, affecting 6-10% of women and even some fathers, and shares her personal journey through postpartum anxiety and sleep deprivation.

We also explore the importance of proper nutrition and gentle activity, the role of social support, and why you should never compare your journey to others, especially on social media. Whether you're a new mom or supporting one, this episode is packed with invaluable insights and practical advice.

Tune in and let's navigate this journey together!
