My Healing Journey Postpartum Rehab, Mindset, and Support for Recovery

In this episode from The Optimal Body Podcast, Doc Jen shares her healing postpartum journey following her second childbirth, a vaginal birth (VBAC), contrasting it with her first cesarean experience. Joined by her husband, Dr. Dom, they discuss the physical and emotional challenges of postpartum recovery, emphasizing the importance of support, pelvic floor health, and proper nutrition. Doc Jen highlights the use of supportive products and the significance of a strong mindset. They also address managing an older child while caring for a newborn and the societal pressures on postpartum aesthetics. The episode offers valuable insights and encouragement for new mothers navigating their postpartum experiences.
