Raising Healthy Mothers

by Tasha D'Cruz

Raising Healthy Mothers is a podcast for mothers, whether you're pregnant, just given birth, or are two years postpartum. If you’re looking for a natural, calm, healthy start to motherhood and you’re after some inspiration to help you get started, then you’re in the right place. I believe the first 1000 days of motherhood - from conception to 2 years postpartum - is vitally important to get right from a health point of view. But it's so easy to get overwhelmed! This podcast is about feeling supported and crafting your very own village so you can embrace motherhood with confidence and joy. Each week I focus on a topic that I think is important for a mothers’ health and wellbeing, and I’ll be bringing guest experts on to talk about how they support new mothers.

Episodes

Depression and Motherhood with Claudia Smith {S1E6}

39m · Published 17 Jun 04:00

Today I'm speaking to Claudia Smith, a fellow nutritional therapist and positive psychology coach who specialises in depression.

We covered so much in this episode - here are the highlights:

What depression feels like when you're going through it
How nutrition and diet changes helped Claudia to improve her symptoms of depression
The realities of motherhood, and how hard it really is
Causes and risk factors of depression in motherhood, and how the guilt of depression can add to the burden
Simple nutrition and lifestyle changes you can make to help improve your mood

Please note, if you do feel like you’re struggling with your mental health, please speak to your GP, midwife or health visitor in the first instance. There is a lot of support available for mothers and your healthcare team is the first port of call to get the medical support you might need.
