Drawing from her own experience navigating postpartum during the early days of the pandemic, as well as her professional expertise as a naturopathic doctor, Dr. Khivan sheds light on the gaps in postpartum support and how to bridge them.We discuss the emotional and physical challenges women face postpartum, including the underdiagnosis of mood disorders and the long-term effects of nutrient depletion. Dr. Khivan shares her personal journey with anxiety during her postpartum period and the transformative power of seeking the right care. We explore the importance of rest and patience, strategies for advocating for thorough medical testing (including thyroid and iron panels), and how small lifestyle shifts can make a world of difference for new moms.This week's episode is packed with practical advice and compassionate insights to help navigate this transformative season.
