Why Are So Many Moms Struggling Postpartum?
Most healthcare teams miss the root causes of postpartum anxiety and depression. They focus on symptoms instead of what’s causing them. Here’s what we need to address instead:
Step 1: Restore Nutrients & Fill the Gaps
Most postpartum moms are nutrient-deficient, and that deficiency fuels anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Here’s why:
Not eating enough protein = lack of amino acids, which are essential for neurotransmitter production (like serotonin and dopamine).
Hidden food sensitivities (like wheat and dairy) = daily inflammation and nervous system dysregulation, making anxiety worse.
I learned this firsthand. After birth, I was eating wheat and dairy, not realizing they were triggering inflammation, mood swings, and heart palpitations. Even just a little dairy in your coffee each morning can keep your body inflamed.
What You Can Do:
Eat high-protein, anti-inflammatory foods.
Get a blood test to check vitamin and mineral levels.
Avoid synthetic vitamins like cyanocobalamin (B12) and folic acid, they block absorption if you have the MTHFR gene mutation (which most of my clients do).
Best Supplements for Postpartum Healing:
Methylated B vitamins (especially B12 and folate)
Magnesium Glycinate (for sleep + nervous system support)
Omega-3s (for brain and hormone balance)

Step 2: Regulate Your Nervous System & Release Trauma
If you’re not sleeping and dealing with heart palpitations, your nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight mode. Postpartum trauma, birth stress, or even generational trauma can lead to racing thoughts, intrusive thoughts, and anxiety loops. If you’ve ever felt trapped in negative thoughts, this is why.
What You Can Do:
Brain retraining to shift intrusive thoughts into positive patterns
Daily nervous system regulation (breathwork, vagus nerve activation, EFT tapping)
Consume Herbal nervines (more on this in Step 3!)
Step 3: Restore Balance with Herbal Medicine
If medications haven’t worked for you, it’s not in your head.
Your body may struggle to process synthetic drugs because of methylation issues.
The right herbs can support your nervous system, mood, and sleep without side effects. Inside The Present Mama course, I teach my exact herbal protocol, but here’s a starting point:
Best Herbs for Postpartum Anxiety & Insomnia:
Stinging Nettle – replenishes minerals & supports adrenals
Lemon Balm – calms racing thoughts & Anxiety
Ashwagandha – balances cortisol & reduces overwhelm
Passionflower – helps with sleep & nervous system repair
Step 4: Repair Your Gut to Heal Your Mood
If you struggle with anxiety, depression, and insomnia, chances are you have leaky gut syndrome.
Why Postpartum Moms Develop Gut Issues:
Antibiotics during birth (C-section or infections)
Pain meds that disrupt gut bacteria
Hormonal shifts that affect digestion
Your gut and brain are connected. If your gut is inflamed, your brain will be too, leading to brain fog, anxiety, and mood swings.
What You Can Do:
Remove inflammatory foods (like gluten, dairy, processed sugar) while you heal
Take a food sensitivity test to see what’s triggering inflammation
Restore gut health with probiotics, bone broth, and herbal gut healers
