We talk about preconception care a lot but what about after pregnancy? Many women experience a number of different post-partum conditions so should we be planning for that as well?
IN THIS EPISODE: I interview my friend and esteemed colleague, Dr. Morgan MacDermott.
Dr. Morgan MacDermott is a rising leader in women’s reproductive health dedicated to transforming the struggles of the modern mother. As a licensed Naturopathic Doctor and mother of two young children, she blends medical expertise and gathered communal wisdom to help women in-person and online to navigate wellness throughout this revered metamorphosis. Although she felt very prepared for motherhood the first go-around, she felt gut punched by the universe with her postpartum issues of recurrent mastitis and postpartum anxiety. These experiences helped her immensely - not only in how she would go on to create an entirely different postpartum for her second child, but also with the women she works with as patients in her private practice. Morgan believes that the best way to advance the health of future generations is by revolutionizing the health and well-being of our current mothers, and she is a powerful voice for natural medicine in the fields of preconception, fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum.
