Navigating Life Postpartum with Samantha Gipson Pilates

Postpartum can be a very vulnerable time for women and yet it seems to be the season women are most often forgot about.

I’m joined on the Heal Your Hormones podcast by guest, Samantha Gipson, a pilates instructor, to discuss what to expect postpartum and how to best support yourself.

Samantha shares a bit about her birth story, her experience with nursing, and what postpartum looked like.

After delivering her baby boy in March 2022, Samantha struggled with nausea, extreme exhaustion, IBS, anxiety, and brain fog. Previous to becoming pregnant, Samantha also dealt with heavy periods and eczema.

We began working together when Samantha was 3 months postpartum. After diet changes and supportive supplements, Samantha has increased energy, better digestion, less anxiety, and lighter periods!

In this episode Samantha also talks about her experience of navigating doctors postpartum and being on Zoloft.
