31 - How to Support Your Hormones in Postpartum Recovery and Beyond (Guest: Ashley Rocha, Herbalist and CEO of LadyWell)
Manage episode 483740331 series 3620260
In this powerful and refreshingly real episode of Doula Talk: Postpartum, Babies, and the Battle for Sleep, Deb sits down with herbalist and hormone health expert Ashley Rocha, CEO and founder of Ladywell, to talk all things postpartum hormones—and wow, is it a ride.
Ashley opens up about her own long, painful journey through PMDD, mood swings, and hormonal imbalance—an all-too-common experience brushed off by mainstream medicine. What started as personal healing became Ladywell, a line of thoughtfully formulated herbal supplements for women in every life stage: from fertility to postpartum to perimenopause and beyond.
Together, Deb and Ashley break down the postpartum hormone crash, why “mom rage” and mood swings are biologically rooted (not just “in your head”), and how herbal support can be a total game changer when you’re feeling depleted, disconnected, or just plain exhausted. They talk adaptogens, essential nutrients, magnesium sprays, and why understanding your cycle might just save your relationships (and your sanity).
Whether you’re deep in the fourth trimester, prepping for baby, or wondering if those hot flashes at 42 are a thing (spoiler: they are), this episode is filled with practical wisdom, body literacy, and seriously validating support.
