In this episode, I’m joined by Chelsea McLeod, an integrative health practitioner who works with driven, working moms navigating postpartum hormone and metabolic recovery.
We talk about why so many women feel depleted long after birth, especially when they’re balancing careers, caregiving, and long-term breastfeeding. Chelsea breaks down what postpartum depletion actually looks like in real life, from stubborn weight and poor sleep to cravings, gut issues, hair loss, and mood changes, and why these symptoms are so often dismissed as “normal.”
We also dig into the difference between managing symptoms and addressing root causes, why testing matters, how stress and nervous system overload impact hormones, and why so many high performing women feel like they’re doing everything right but still feel off.
This is an honest conversation about postpartum recovery in a system that wasn’t built to support mothers, and what it can look like to actually restore your body instead of just pushing through.
