Why You Still Feel Off After Baby: Hormones, GLP-1s, and What Actually Helps

Why You Still Feel Off After Baby: Hormones, GLP-1s, and What Actually Helps

Guest: Brooke Vaughn, WHNP, founder of The Women’s Health Company

In this powerful conversation, Hillary and Erica talk with Brooke Vaughn, WHNP, all about why postpartum often feels so hard—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Brooke is the founder of The Women’s Health Company, a boutique hormone clinic that offers high-touch, root-cause care for women who feel dismissed or overlooked by traditional providers.

We’re covering everything from hormone shifts and adrenal fatigue to insulin resistance, progesterone, and how GLP-1 meds like Ozempic and Mounjaro are showing up in postpartum care. This episode is your permission slip to dig deeper into your health—even if your labs are “normal.”
