32. But are you really ok? - Assessing and Boosting our Mental Health

Nourished and Nurturing: Postpartum Moms and Feeding Babies

Marissa and Michelle talk about working with new therapists and how they have learned to regularly check in on their mental health during COVID and the postpartum period. These periodic checks can be applied at any time whether it's the middle of winter, after a breakup or you're just feeling a little down. We cover how digestion, balance of gut bacteria and adequate protein intake contribute to production of neurotransmitters in the brain. We also talk about how fats contribute to keeping hormones level throughout the month and how thyroid health impacts mental health. There are some practical takeaways for ways to kick-start your well-being.
