The postpartum care system is failing, leaving
countless mothers strugglingwith depression, anxiety and
autoimmune conditions.

(00:22):
overlooks, so that you can giveyour clients real, lasting
solutions for lifelongwell-being.
Welcome to the PostpartumUniversity podcast, miranda
Bauer.
Here and today, we are divinginto something that has been
creating quite a buzz in thepostpartum care community, which
(00:45):
is the postpartum restorationmethod, and I will first tell
you.
Over the last several monthssince releasing this
comprehensive assessment tool,it's based on this method that
will absolutely blow your mind.
It's been blowing the minds ofso many people who have
downloaded it.
(01:05):
We've got thousands ofproviders downloading this
assessment and implementing itinto their practice, and the
results that they're sharingwith me are nothing short of
incredible.
Just last week, I received anemail from a registered
dietitian who said Miranda, in15 years of practice, I've never
(01:26):
had an assessment tool that soaccurately captured what my
postpartum clients are actuallyexperiencing.
Within three months of usingyour method, I'm seeing
transformations that I neverthought possible and that, my
friends, is not an isolatedstory.
We're hearing from medicalproviders, mental health
professionals, doulas,nutritionists, body work
(01:47):
practitioners who are finallyfeeling equipped to provide the
kind of comprehensive postpartumcare that actually creates
lasting change.
And it's, of course, for free.
And if you haven't downloadedthis tool yet, head to the show
notes.
Go download that so you knowwhat I'm talking about.
Because today I wanna pull backthe curtain.
Head to the show notes, godownload that so you know what
I'm talking about.
Because today I want to pullback the curtain and really
(02:09):
share the full story of thepostpartum restoration method,
like how it came to be, why itworks so differently than
conventional approaches and howyou can start implementing it in
your own practice or yourpersonal healing journey.
In your own practice or yourpersonal healing journey.
(02:32):
If you have ever felt frustratedby the limitations of current
postpartum care, if you'vewondered why we treat pregnancy
with such specialized attentionbut reduce postpartum to like
the six-week checkup and a quickdepression screening, then this
episode is for you, and I wantto start by sharing some of the
incredible feedback that I'vebeen receiving since releasing
the Postpartum RestorationMethod Assessment Tool, which is
(02:55):
kind of not where everythinghas begun, but the thing that
has caused like the big hoopla.
Right.
There's a family medicinephysician in Colorado.
She told me that in her firstmonth of using the assessment,
she identified three moms whowould have completely slipped
through the cracks ofconventional screening.
One mom scored an R third tier,indicating severe concerns, but
(03:21):
she had been told repeatedlythat her symptoms were normal
postpartum experiences.
She did not register at all onthe Edinburgh scale and within
six weeks of targetedintervention based on the
assessment results, this motherwas experiencing the energy and
mental clarity that she hadn'tfelt since before her pregnancy,
(03:43):
years ago, before her pregnancy.
There's a mental healthcounselor in Texas and she
shared that her assessmentcompletely transformed how she
approached therapy forpostpartum clients.
Instead of focusing solely onphysiological interventions or
psychological intervention, shenow understands the
(04:03):
physiological foundationsunderlying many mental health
symptoms, not to say that shedidn't have that training before
.
She's seeing more and more ofwhat she can do and how
nutrition and other things areimplemented into this and
therefore she's seeing fastertherapeutic progress because
she's addressing root causes,not just symptoms.
(04:26):
That's the key.
That's the key.
But one of the most tellingstories are from moms themselves
.
One mom wrote to me for thefirst time in two years of
seeking help.
Someone saw the full picture ofwhat I was experiencing.
The assessment captured thingsI didn't even know were
connected to my postpartumstruggles and I finally have
(04:47):
hope that complete recovery ispossible.
What is particularly excitingabout this assessment is that
it's bridging the gap betweendifferent types of providers.
We're seeing collaborative carenetworks forming where medical
providers, nutritionists, mentalhealth professionals, bodywork
practitioners they're workingtogether using the same
(05:10):
framework and the assessmentprovides a common language that
allows for true integrated care.
And it's all trained right.
You know the Edenberg.
You all have heard me talkabout the Edenberg.
It's only better than you know50%.
Better than guessing, right,slightly better than guessing
determining whether or not a momhas postpartum depression.
(05:32):
That's all it's used for.
There's no other things outthere to help with mental health
beyond that little screening.
There's nothing else out there.
That's screening for, you know,nutrition depletion or anything
along those lines, right, andthere's nothing out there that's
training providers on how touse that tool and specifically,
(05:57):
the Edenberg.
There's no, there's nothing.
There's nothing out there,right, and that's why this is
really remarkable.
We're seeing an 84% successrate with cases that previously
showed no improvement withconventional approaches.
Providers are reporting threetimes faster resolution of
(06:18):
symptoms compared to standardcare models and 92% client
satisfaction ratings.
I don't know about you, but mostpeople who come to me having
taken the Edenberg scale feellike it never fully addressed
what they were feeling.
It didn't speak to them in thesame way, they didn't use the
(06:39):
same language or the same tools,and that's part of the Edenberg
scale is that it's somethingthat's translated into multiple
different languages, and now,with the depression rates being
so much higher than they havebeen in the past, they are it's
barely capturing.
You know better than guessingright, and we want to talk about
(06:59):
the whole picture.
We want the whole picture.
So I'm not going to talk aboutthe Edenberg scale as much
anymore.
I'll save that.
If you want to go see thatepisode, we have that episode.
We'll link it here for you aswell.
But what I'm sharing with youisn't just statistics.
They represent thousands ofmothers who are finally
(07:19):
receiving the comprehensivesupport they deserve and
providers who are experiencingrenewed passion for their work
because they finally have toolsthat actually work.
So, all right, here's the bigquestion that I've been getting
what exactly is the postpartumrestoration method?
Because the assessment tool isamazing, and you heard about the
(07:40):
restoration method with theassessment tool, but what the
heck is the restoration methodright?
And if you've got the tool,you've been learning a little
bit about it.
But so many of you are comingto say, okay, what is this and
why is it creating all of theseremarkable results?
So, at the core, it's acomprehensive framework that
(08:01):
recognizes a fundamental truththat postpartum recovery is not
a six-week process.
It's a profound physiologicaland psychological transition
that deserves the samespecialized attention we give to
pregnancy itself.
And the method identifies fiveessential components that must
be addressed for completepostpartum recovery.
(08:23):
Right, which is why this is whyit's revolutionary, and it's
understanding that thesecomponents, they work
synergistically together, theyare in balance to one another.
And if one is in balance, thereare likely other areas of these
five components that are out ofbalance and you can't just work
(08:44):
on one, because they allrequire support at the same time
and so every single oneinevitably affects the others.
The first component of thisfive-point method is
physiological restoration.
So this goes far beyond healingfrom birth injuries.
During pregnancy, a woman'scardiovascular system expands by
(09:07):
50%, her blood volume increasesby 40 to 50%, her organs
physically shift postpartum, hergut and digestive changes
happen on a physiological level.
They change, they alter.
So these systems within thebody, they don't simply return
to normal, they have to returnto a new balance.
(09:29):
And this component examinesinflammation, hormonal shifts,
tissue healing, immune functionand, like the complex interplay
between all of these systems,these bodily functions within
the body.
Okay, the second is nutritionalfoundation.
So the postpartum nutritionneeds are dramatically different
(09:53):
from those of non-postpartumwomen or pregnant women, yet
most guidelines make minimaldistinctions between the two.
So the depletion that occursthrough pregnancy and birth and
lactation creates specificnutritional demands that have to
be met in order for recovery tooccur.
And this component identifiesthe nutrients most commonly
(10:17):
depleted and their impact onsymptoms ranging from fatigue to
mood disorders, especiallypostpartum depression and
postpartum anxiety.
Okay, they're all again very,very interconnected and we
actually we have the scientificevidence to show that so many of
these nutrients that women aredepleted of, 80% of women enter
(10:39):
postpartum depleted of keynutrients.
And I'm not talking about statsfrom world stats, I'm talking
about US stats, where we haveaccess to so much food, right,
this is not, you know, a culturethat is developing.
This is not people who don'thave access to quality food
(11:01):
sources, although that is stillan issue here in America and
beyond.
I'm talking about women inmiddle class, upper, middle
class, upper classes, who haveaccess to this, who are still
very much depleted, and that's awhole other episode in and of
(11:21):
itself.
But I want you to understandthat this component, along with
the physiological changes thatoccur in the gut, are deeply
connected to mental healthdisorders, and we have the
science that proves that right.
I just posted an Instagram postthat links a ton of articles
(11:43):
that show specifically how, youknow, nutrient deficiencies like
iron deficiency and magnesiumdeficiency is related to
symptoms of depression.
Okay, so moving on, we havephysiological restoration,
nutritional foundation, and thenthe third is neurological
regulation, perhaps one of themost overlooked aspect of
(12:07):
postpartum recovery.
Birth itself represents asignificant neurological event,
and you combine it with sleepdisruption, new responsibilities
, cognitive overload,nutritional depletion and infant
care.
You know, moms experienceneurological demands unlike any
(12:28):
other life transition, and thiscomponent addresses the
underlying neurologicaldysregulation that conventional
care misses purely psychological, physiological issues,
psychological, psychologicalissues that are well beyond that
right, that's a huge componenthere.
(12:48):
The fourth is rhythmic recovery.
The postpartum period disruptsestablished rhythms, right sleep
cycles, meal timing, workpatterns, social engagement, and
these disruptions impact farmore than comfort.
They directly affectphysiological processes,
including hormone cycles, right,digestive function, immune
(13:11):
regulation they're allintertwined, every single one of
these.
They're so deeply connected,okay.
And then the fifth is identityintegration.
This transition to motherhoodrepresents one of the most
significant identity shifts awoman will ever experience it
doesn't matter if it's her firstbaby or her 10th baby and this
(13:34):
impacts neurological pathways,hormone production, stress
responses, social functioning.
And then, rather than treatingthis as purely psychological,
this component addressesidentity integration as both a
physiological and psychologicalprocess.
And this is where a lot ofmatricence comes in, where we
(13:57):
talk about the mourning processof letting go of our past life
and bringing in this new lifeand all sorts of other
components that we often, youknow, over pathologicalize in
our modern Western world.
So what makes this method sopowerful is that it's the first
framework to address all ofthese components systematically
(14:22):
and it recognizes theirinterconnected nature and
provides targeted interventionsbased on each individual's
unique presentation.
And I want to tell you how thismethod came to be, because I've
been getting this question amillion times over and I will
tell you that it came to bedeeply personal and it spans
(14:45):
over almost two decades ofprofessional and personal
experience.
I started my career workingdirectly with families and
children in early education, Iwant to say about 25 years ago.
So during this time I wasconstantly observing like this
profound change that motherhoodbrought to women.
(15:08):
It was not just psychological,but physically, systematically,
like I saw patterns thatconventional explanations just
could not account for right.
So I loved working with babies.
I loved working with infantsand toddlers.
I was a preschool teacher and Iwas watching this happen all
(15:28):
the time and obviously, too, Iwas inundated in the work itself
.
So I actually worked at auniversity and the university
that I worked for we, asteachers, were a part of the
early ed programs and who werebecoming teachers to actually
(16:02):
work in the classroom, and so Iwas doing both, you know, the
work of teaching and workingdirectly with students and
professors and teachingalongside them.
I was also the person who wasworking directly with the
families, right and workingdirectly with the children.
It was actually one of the mostrewarding experiences of my
(16:23):
life and I did that for almost14 years.
I actually left after becomingthe director for some time and
when I got pregnant with mysecond and things were really,
really crazy in my life, I wasso stressed out about my job and
things were really, reallycrazy in my life.
I was so stressed out about myjob and I needed to let it go.
And that's what happened.
I let it go so that I can focuson raising my family.
(16:46):
And then in that one after I,you know, I was able to focus in
raising my family, kind oftransitioned into birth work as
a doula and a childbirtheducator and I began working
even more intimately with womenthrough their transition to
motherhood.
For over 10 years I supportedhundreds of families through
(17:07):
pregnancy, birth and the earlypostpartum period.
But interestingly, I foundmyself drawn to the postpartum
phase, not just the immediaterecovery, but the months and
years that followed.
I grew my own family.
I have four children.
I experienced firsthand theprofound physiological changes
(17:31):
of repeat pregnancies, thecumulative impact of postpartum
depletion.
But unlike many mothers, Irefused to accept suffering and
was simply part of motherhood.
So my background in humanbiology and research training
really kicked in here.
I started asking why, why toeverything?
(17:52):
Why was I exhausted years aftermy babies were sleeping through
the night?
Why did my digestion neverfully recover?
Why did I experience moodchanges that seemed disconnected
from my life circumstances?
Why were there so many mothersI worked with struggling with
similar patterns and, again,backing up early education led
(18:14):
to human biology, which led toresearch and all of that.
So that was the progression ofmy background in education.
But here's the thing the deeperI dug, the more I realized that
what we're told is normalpostpartum experience is
actually a sign of unaddressedphysiological imbalances, and my
(18:35):
research background told methis was not biologically normal
.
Right, there has to be rootcauses that could be addressed.
It couldn't be any other way.
So through my own healingjourney and my work with
hundreds of mothers, I beganidentifying patterns of what
actually worked for deep,lasting recovery, not like
(18:57):
surface level advice about sleep, when baby sleeps or it's just
your hormones, but like realroot cause interventions and
ways in which we can live ourlife.
I don't even like interventions.
I see like sometimes we needinterventions right, there's
life stages for that but truly,truly, truly.
(19:18):
These are lifestyle changes andthey address the underlying
physiology of our bodies.
So I started developingprotocols based on what I was
seeing work.
Consistently, I tested theseapproaches with mothers I was
coaching, I refined the outcomes, you know, based on what they
were experiencing, and then Igradually developed what would
(19:41):
now become the postpartumrestoration method.
And the method emerged fromthis unique combination of
professional experience andresearch background and personal
healing journey and workingdirectly with hundreds and
thousands of mothers who areseeking real solutions, not just
symptom management.
(20:03):
Okay, so for those who have beenfollowing my work for years,
you've actually seen pieces ofthis method before.
Actually, you've seen it quitefrequently.
At its core, though, it hasevolved Okay.
At it in its core, though, ithas evolved okay.
I actually first published thecore principles in my book
Reclaiming Postpartum Wellness,and I did that several years ago
(20:24):
, though it's a slightlydifferent format, right, it's
more geared towards moms and myapproach.
And now, through my assessmenttool, I recognize the need for
comprehensive evaluation andstandard screening that also
address specifically providers.
(20:46):
Ok, so this method has been anactive use for many, many, many
years.
We've had literally thousandsof mothers complete various
versions of the assessment.
It's even linked again in mypublished book.
I've been using theseprinciples in my direct client
work and sharing them with otherproviders I've trained, but
(21:07):
here's where things get a littleinteresting and, frankly,
frustrating.
Originally, this method wasunder a different name.
I went through the process oftrademarking it only to discover
that someone else had filed atrademark application for the
exact same name at the exactsame time, two trademark
(21:27):
applications, identical names,filed simultaneously.
Like what are the odds of thathappening?
And then and then, somethingeven more problematic happened.
Another practitioner stole mywork.
She copied my method, its name,even the format of my
(21:48):
certification program.
It was a complete mess.
That was both heartbreaking andinfuriating.
It like it just it was so awfulright, and I think at that
point I was like you know what?
I think God is telling me thisis not the name and I made the
decision to completely rebrand.
(22:10):
So I updated the name to thePostpartum Restoration Method,
which is now under TrademarkReview, and I am the one and
only.
And it took, I took this as anopportunity to kind of evolve
the entire framework.
So the original framework wasprimarily designed for mothers
themselves to understand andimplement.
(22:32):
But as more providers beganrequesting training in this
approach and my work really isfor providers, that's what I do
so well, I do it for the mothers, but I train so many providers,
that's what postpartumuniversity is and I realized
that we needed a versionspecifically designed for
professional implementation.
So we completely updatedeverything.
(22:53):
The assessment tool was refinedand validated through
additional use and theintervention protocols, you know
, quote unquote intervention,lifestyle protocols, whatever it
is that you want to call themwere expanded and organized for
professional application.
So the educational materialswere kind of restructured to
train providers rather than justlike inform moms.
(23:17):
Okay, and honestly, honestly,it feels so much better now.
The method is morecomprehensive, it's more
clinically applicable, it's moreeffective than it has ever been
before.
Okay, and let me tell you abouthow this assessment tool
actually works in practice,because this is where the magic
(23:38):
happens, unlike conventionalscreening tools like the
Edenberg postnatal depressionscale, which research shows
again is only marginally betterthan chance at identifying
struggling mothers.
I know I'm saying that so often, but our assessment examines
the whole woman across multiplesystems.
(24:00):
So we address the maincategories physical symptoms,
mental, emotional experiencesand a historical context.
That's what shows up on theassessment, but it actually, if
you go get the training for theassessment, all of the
five-point frameworks is builtinto those categories.
We keep it easy because that isthe assessment tool that's
(24:22):
going to be handed out to moms,right?
That's the thing that she'sgoing to see, and so we need to
keep that as easy as possible.
But in the back end you'regoing to see a combination of
digestive issues, hair loss,frequent infections, alongside
fatigue and mood changes.
And so we're not justidentifying individual symptoms,
we're recognizing a patternthat indicates specific
(24:45):
physiological imbalances thatcan be directly assessed.
Right, so there's a scoringsystem that places mothers into
one of three tiers.
So we have the first tiers momswho are experiencing pretty
mild imbalances, but it can beaddressed relatively easy,
simple interventions.
(25:06):
These are often moms who arefunctioning reasonably well, but
they know something feels alittle off right.
They haven't quite foundthemselves yet.
The second tier is moms who areexperiencing moderate
challenges that require somesubstantial, coordinated support
.
They're usually struggling inmultiple areas simultaneously.
They need a systematic approachand often they're lacking a lot
(25:30):
of support.
And then third tier momsrequire immediate, comprehensive
intervention.
These are moms who have beenstruggling for months or even
years without effective support.
Here's the thing.
The revolutionary part aboutthis is, instead of just
identifying the problems, theassessment directly informs the
(25:50):
next steps, the strategies forhealing.
So each pattern and resultspoint to specific research-based
interventions, lifestylechanges that address root causes
.
Okay, so I'll give you a realexample.
Recently, a provider contactedme about a mom who scored in the
(26:13):
second tier, who particularlyhad high scores in neurological
regulation and nutritionalfoundation.
So, based on this pattern, theyimplemented targeted
nutritional interventions forcommon postpartum deficiencies,
while simultaneously addressingnervous system dysregulation
with some specific techniques.
(26:34):
So, within four weeks, this momwas experiencing improvements
in mood, sleep, energy andcognitive function, and by three
months, her follow-upassessment showed she had moved
to first tier, with mostsymptoms resolved completely.
And that's one of the mostbeautiful things about this
(26:55):
assessment is that we get to goback to it all the time and moms
get to go back to it.
They get to track theirprogress with it, and one thing
that we were using it beforeimplementing with providers is
that when moms get to use this,they get to take it to their
provider.
They get to say here's all thethings that I'm experiencing
(27:17):
experiencing because how manymoms and I'm the exact same way.
If I walk into my provider'soffice, I have a massive list on
paper that I had to write up ofall the things that I'm
experiencing, or all the thingsthat my child is experiencing,
or whatever, because the momentI walk in that door, I forget,
and then I'm like leaving andI'm like wait, I forgot to tell
them about this and I forgot totell them about that.
Right, that happens sofrequently, and so when you have
(27:40):
an assessment that goes throughall of the different things,
all of the different symptomsyou can possibly experience,
then what we have is acomprehensive care list and
there's no longer like isolatedlittle things that we might
forget to tell our provider andour providers now trained to ask
(28:01):
and therefore we miss asignificant part of the care
that we should have.
Okay, so this method works very,very differently than other
methods.
As we have said, we've talkedabout all of these and there are
many key insights that drivethis method right.
(28:23):
The physiological changes thatcreate predictable patterns of
imbalance that can besystematically identified and
addressed.
Right.
Nutritional demands forpregnancy and breastfeeding, for
example, iron, b vitamins,omega-3, fatty acids, magnesiums
.
Those deficiencies createsymptoms that are often
(28:45):
mislabeled, as you know,psychological causes or
dismissed as normal postpartumexperiences.
Right.
By understanding these patternsand their interconnections into
the body, we can createtargeted interventions and
strategies that are really goingto change a mom's life and
(29:06):
their family's life, and that'sone of the most gratifying
aspects of sharing this method.
So many people have said how inthe world are you giving this
away for free, like this isabsolutely bonkers.
I've had many providers andcolleagues reach out to me
saying you know that you couldcharge for this right?
And it's like, yeah, Iabsolutely do, but I'm not ever
(29:28):
going to do that because nobodyhas these tools.
And, honestly, if somebodydoesn't understand or recognize
how significant this is andusually they're not going to
until they open it because we'venot created something like this
before If you've never seen itbefore, it's hard to imagine how
good it could be.
And then when you see it,you're like blown away and
you're thinking, oh, my word,how I didn't know, right, so
(29:50):
nobody's going to purchase that.
Really.
I mean, maybe a lot of peoplewill, but I like I don't want
that behind a paywall.
I want everybody to use this.
I want every provider acrossdifferent disciplines medical
doctors, mental healthprofessionals, nutritionists,
bodywork practitioners, birthprofessionals I want them to be
(30:11):
able to use this framework tohelp create truly integrated
care.
Right, and it's not just youknow, I I've heard doulas, too,
saying like this isrevolutionary, like I don't do
anything about it, I, as a doula, it's not something that you go
, you know, diagnose or anythingwith, but it's like so easy to
(30:32):
be like, oh, this might behappening for you and and and
it's like laid out for them.
Right, you have a sheet thatyou give to your clients and
here's your next steps, here'syour strategies.
Let me help you connect youwith the providers who can, who
can give that support to you.
Right, and it's so beautifulfor anyone who is an advocate
(30:54):
not even necessarily, you know,medically trained to be able to
provide support.
Like let me help you find thatprovider who's gonna help you do
X, y, z or whatever.
Like this is your next step.
Like let's do it together.
So easy, so, so easy.
And it's so much more exciting.
And I truly believe we're atthis turning point in postpartum
(31:17):
care.
For too long, we've acceptedthat moms should struggle
through postpartum period withminimal support and fragmented
care, but as more providersimplement comprehensive
approaches like the postpartumrestoration method, we're
proving that complete postpartumrecovery is not only possible,
(31:39):
it should be the standard ofcare.
The success that we're seeingwith this method is just the
beginning, and as we train moreproviders and we conduct more
research and we refine ourapproaches which is always how
it should be, always, always,always, always, always.
Okay I envision a future whereevery mother has access to
(32:02):
comprehensive, root causefocused postpartum care.
This isn't just aboutindividual mothers getting
better support, though.
That's truly, incrediblyimportant.
It's about fundamentallychanging how we understand and
approach postpartum recovery asa society.
(32:24):
If you're a provider listeninginto this and you're thinking
this is exactly what mypostpartum clients need, I
encourage you to startimplementing this approach in
your practice.

Welcome to the PostpartumUniversity podcast, miranda
Bauer.
Here and today, we are divinginto something that has been
creating quite a buzz in thepostpartum care community, which
(00:45):
is the postpartum restorationmethod, and I will first tell
you.
Over the last several monthssince releasing this
comprehensive assessment tool,it's based on this method that
will absolutely blow your mind.
It's been blowing the minds ofso many people who have
downloaded it.
(01:05):
We've got thousands ofproviders downloading this
assessment and implementing itinto their practice, and the
results that they're sharingwith me are nothing short of
incredible.
Just last week, I received anemail from a registered
dietitian who said Miranda, in15 years of practice, I've never
(01:26):
had an assessment tool that soaccurately captured what my
postpartum clients are actuallyexperiencing.
Within three months of usingyour method, I'm seeing
transformations that I neverthought possible and that, my
friends, is not an isolatedstory.
We're hearing from medicalproviders, mental health
professionals, doulas,nutritionists, body work
(01:47):
practitioners who are finallyfeeling equipped to provide the
kind of comprehensive postpartumcare that actually creates
lasting change.
And it's, of course, for free.
And if you haven't downloadedthis tool yet, head to the show
notes.
Go download that so you knowwhat I'm talking about.
Because today I wanna pull backthe curtain.
Head to the show notes, godownload that so you know what
I'm talking about.
Because today I want to pullback the curtain and really
(02:09):
share the full story of thepostpartum restoration method,
like how it came to be, why itworks so differently than
conventional approaches and howyou can start implementing it in
your own practice or yourpersonal healing journey.
In your own practice or yourpersonal healing journey.
(02:32):
If you have ever felt frustratedby the limitations of current
postpartum care, if you'vewondered why we treat pregnancy
with such specialized attentionbut reduce postpartum to like
the six-week checkup and a quickdepression screening, then this
episode is for you, and I wantto start by sharing some of the
incredible feedback that I'vebeen receiving since releasing
the Postpartum RestorationMethod Assessment Tool, which is
(02:55):
kind of not where everythinghas begun, but the thing that
has caused like the big hoopla.
Right.
There's a family medicinephysician in Colorado.
She told me that in her firstmonth of using the assessment,
she identified three moms whowould have completely slipped
through the cracks ofconventional screening.
One mom scored an R third tier,indicating severe concerns, but
(03:21):
she had been told repeatedlythat her symptoms were normal
postpartum experiences.
She did not register at all onthe Edinburgh scale and within
six weeks of targetedintervention based on the
assessment results, this motherwas experiencing the energy and
mental clarity that she hadn'tfelt since before her pregnancy,
(03:43):
years ago, before her pregnancy.
There's a mental healthcounselor in Texas and she
shared that her assessmentcompletely transformed how she
approached therapy forpostpartum clients.
Instead of focusing solely onphysiological interventions or
psychological intervention, shenow understands the
(04:03):
physiological foundationsunderlying many mental health
symptoms, not to say that shedidn't have that training before
.
She's seeing more and more ofwhat she can do and how
nutrition and other things areimplemented into this and
therefore she's seeing fastertherapeutic progress because
she's addressing root causes,not just symptoms.
(04:26):
That's the key.
That's the key.
But one of the most tellingstories are from moms themselves
.
One mom wrote to me for thefirst time in two years of
seeking help.
Someone saw the full picture ofwhat I was experiencing.
The assessment captured thingsI didn't even know were
connected to my postpartumstruggles and I finally have
(04:47):
hope that complete recovery ispossible.
What is particularly excitingabout this assessment is that
it's bridging the gap betweendifferent types of providers.
We're seeing collaborative carenetworks forming where medical
providers, nutritionists, mentalhealth professionals, bodywork
practitioners they're workingtogether using the same
(05:10):
framework and the assessmentprovides a common language that
allows for true integrated care.
And it's all trained right.
You know the Edenberg.
You all have heard me talkabout the Edenberg.
It's only better than you know50%.
Better than guessing, right,slightly better than guessing
determining whether or not a momhas postpartum depression.
(05:32):
That's all it's used for.
There's no other things outthere to help with mental health
beyond that little screening.
There's nothing else out there.
That's screening for, you know,nutrition depletion or anything
along those lines, right, andthere's nothing out there that's
training providers on how touse that tool and specifically,
(05:57):
the Edenberg.
There's no, there's nothing.
There's nothing out there,right, and that's why this is
really remarkable.
We're seeing an 84% successrate with cases that previously
showed no improvement withconventional approaches.
Providers are reporting threetimes faster resolution of
(06:18):
symptoms compared to standardcare models and 92% client
satisfaction ratings.
I don't know about you, but mostpeople who come to me having
taken the Edenberg scale feellike it never fully addressed
what they were feeling.
It didn't speak to them in thesame way, they didn't use the
(06:39):
same language or the same tools,and that's part of the Edenberg
scale is that it's somethingthat's translated into multiple
different languages, and now,with the depression rates being
so much higher than they havebeen in the past, they are it's
barely capturing.
You know better than guessingright, and we want to talk about
(06:59):
the whole picture.
We want the whole picture.
So I'm not going to talk aboutthe Edenberg scale as much
anymore.
I'll save that.
If you want to go see thatepisode, we have that episode.
We'll link it here for you aswell.
But what I'm sharing with youisn't just statistics.
They represent thousands ofmothers who are finally
(07:19):
receiving the comprehensivesupport they deserve and
providers who are experiencingrenewed passion for their work
because they finally have toolsthat actually work.
So, all right, here's the bigquestion that I've been getting
what exactly is the postpartumrestoration method?
Because the assessment tool isamazing, and you heard about the
(07:40):
restoration method with theassessment tool, but what the
heck is the restoration methodright?
And if you've got the tool,you've been learning a little
bit about it.
But so many of you are comingto say, okay, what is this and
why is it creating all of theseremarkable results?
So, at the core, it's acomprehensive framework that
(08:01):
recognizes a fundamental truththat postpartum recovery is not
a six-week process.
It's a profound physiologicaland psychological transition
that deserves the samespecialized attention we give to
pregnancy itself.
And the method identifies fiveessential components that must
be addressed for completepostpartum recovery.
(08:23):
Right, which is why this is whyit's revolutionary, and it's
understanding that thesecomponents, they work
synergistically together, theyare in balance to one another.
And if one is in balance, thereare likely other areas of these
five components that are out ofbalance and you can't just work
(08:44):
on one, because they allrequire support at the same time
and so every single oneinevitably affects the others.
The first component of thisfive-point method is
physiological restoration.
So this goes far beyond healingfrom birth injuries.
During pregnancy, a woman'scardiovascular system expands by
(09:07):
50%, her blood volume increasesby 40 to 50%, her organs
physically shift postpartum, hergut and digestive changes
happen on a physiological level.
They change, they alter.
So these systems within thebody, they don't simply return
to normal, they have to returnto a new balance.
(09:29):
And this component examinesinflammation, hormonal shifts,
tissue healing, immune functionand, like the complex interplay
between all of these systems,these bodily functions within
the body.
Okay, the second is nutritionalfoundation.
So the postpartum nutritionneeds are dramatically different
(09:53):
from those of non-postpartumwomen or pregnant women, yet
most guidelines make minimaldistinctions between the two.
So the depletion that occursthrough pregnancy and birth and
lactation creates specificnutritional demands that have to
be met in order for recovery tooccur.
And this component identifiesthe nutrients most commonly
(10:17):
depleted and their impact onsymptoms ranging from fatigue to
mood disorders, especiallypostpartum depression and
postpartum anxiety.
Okay, they're all again very,very interconnected and we
actually we have the scientificevidence to show that so many of
these nutrients that women aredepleted of, 80% of women enter
(10:39):
postpartum depleted of keynutrients.
And I'm not talking about statsfrom world stats, I'm talking
about US stats, where we haveaccess to so much food, right,
this is not, you know, a culturethat is developing.
This is not people who don'thave access to quality food
(11:01):
sources, although that is stillan issue here in America and
beyond.
I'm talking about women inmiddle class, upper, middle
class, upper classes, who haveaccess to this, who are still
very much depleted, and that's awhole other episode in and of
(11:21):
itself.
But I want you to understandthat this component, along with
the physiological changes thatoccur in the gut, are deeply
connected to mental healthdisorders, and we have the
science that proves that right.
I just posted an Instagram postthat links a ton of articles
(11:43):
that show specifically how, youknow, nutrient deficiencies like
iron deficiency and magnesiumdeficiency is related to
symptoms of depression.
Okay, so moving on, we havephysiological restoration,
nutritional foundation, and thenthe third is neurological
regulation, perhaps one of themost overlooked aspect of
(12:07):
postpartum recovery.
Birth itself represents asignificant neurological event,
and you combine it with sleepdisruption, new responsibilities
, cognitive overload,nutritional depletion and infant
care.
You know, moms experienceneurological demands unlike any
(12:28):
other life transition, and thiscomponent addresses the
underlying neurologicaldysregulation that conventional
care misses purely psychological, physiological issues,
psychological, psychologicalissues that are well beyond that
right, that's a huge componenthere.
(12:48):
The fourth is rhythmic recovery.
The postpartum period disruptsestablished rhythms, right sleep
cycles, meal timing, workpatterns, social engagement, and
these disruptions impact farmore than comfort.
They directly affectphysiological processes,
including hormone cycles, right,digestive function, immune
(13:11):
regulation they're allintertwined, every single one of
these.
They're so deeply connected,okay.
And then the fifth is identityintegration.
This transition to motherhoodrepresents one of the most
significant identity shifts awoman will ever experience it
doesn't matter if it's her firstbaby or her 10th baby and this
(13:34):
impacts neurological pathways,hormone production, stress
responses, social functioning.
And then, rather than treatingthis as purely psychological,
this component addressesidentity integration as both a
physiological and psychologicalprocess.
And this is where a lot ofmatricence comes in, where we
(13:57):
talk about the mourning processof letting go of our past life
and bringing in this new lifeand all sorts of other
components that we often, youknow, over pathologicalize in
our modern Western world.
So what makes this method sopowerful is that it's the first
framework to address all ofthese components systematically
(14:22):
and it recognizes theirinterconnected nature and
provides targeted interventionsbased on each individual's
unique presentation.
And I want to tell you how thismethod came to be, because I've
been getting this question amillion times over and I will
tell you that it came to bedeeply personal and it spans
(14:45):
over almost two decades ofprofessional and personal
experience.
I started my career workingdirectly with families and
children in early education, Iwant to say about 25 years ago.
So during this time I wasconstantly observing like this
profound change that motherhoodbrought to women.
(15:08):
It was not just psychological,but physically, systematically,
like I saw patterns thatconventional explanations just
could not account for right.
So I loved working with babies.
I loved working with infantsand toddlers.
I was a preschool teacher and Iwas watching this happen all
(15:28):
the time and obviously, too, Iwas inundated in the work itself
.
So I actually worked at auniversity and the university
that I worked for we, asteachers, were a part of the
early ed programs and who werebecoming teachers to actually
(16:02):
work in the classroom, and so Iwas doing both, you know, the
work of teaching and workingdirectly with students and
professors and teachingalongside them.
I was also the person who wasworking directly with the
families, right and workingdirectly with the children.
It was actually one of the mostrewarding experiences of my
(16:23):
life and I did that for almost14 years.
I actually left after becomingthe director for some time and
when I got pregnant with mysecond and things were really,
really crazy in my life, I wasso stressed out about my job and
things were really, reallycrazy in my life.
I was so stressed out about myjob and I needed to let it go.
And that's what happened.
I let it go so that I can focuson raising my family.
(16:46):
And then in that one after I,you know, I was able to focus in
raising my family, kind oftransitioned into birth work as
a doula and a childbirtheducator and I began working
even more intimately with womenthrough their transition to
motherhood.
For over 10 years I supportedhundreds of families through
(17:07):
pregnancy, birth and the earlypostpartum period.
But interestingly, I foundmyself drawn to the postpartum
phase, not just the immediaterecovery, but the months and
years that followed.
I grew my own family.
I have four children.
I experienced firsthand theprofound physiological changes
(17:31):
of repeat pregnancies, thecumulative impact of postpartum
depletion.
But unlike many mothers, Irefused to accept suffering and
was simply part of motherhood.
So my background in humanbiology and research training
really kicked in here.
I started asking why, why toeverything?
(17:52):
Why was I exhausted years aftermy babies were sleeping through
the night?
Why did my digestion neverfully recover?
Why did I experience moodchanges that seemed disconnected
from my life circumstances?
Why were there so many mothersI worked with struggling with
similar patterns and, again,backing up early education led
(18:14):
to human biology, which led toresearch and all of that.
So that was the progression ofmy background in education.
But here's the thing the deeperI dug, the more I realized that
what we're told is normalpostpartum experience is
actually a sign of unaddressedphysiological imbalances, and my
(18:35):
research background told methis was not biologically normal
.
Right, there has to be rootcauses that could be addressed.
It couldn't be any other way.
So through my own healingjourney and my work with
hundreds of mothers, I beganidentifying patterns of what
actually worked for deep,lasting recovery, not like
(18:57):
surface level advice about sleep, when baby sleeps or it's just
your hormones, but like realroot cause interventions and
ways in which we can live ourlife.
I don't even like interventions.
I see like sometimes we needinterventions right, there's
life stages for that but truly,truly, truly.
(19:18):
These are lifestyle changes andthey address the underlying
physiology of our bodies.
So I started developingprotocols based on what I was
seeing work.
Consistently, I tested theseapproaches with mothers I was
coaching, I refined the outcomes, you know, based on what they
were experiencing, and then Igradually developed what would
(19:41):
now become the postpartumrestoration method.
And the method emerged fromthis unique combination of
professional experience andresearch background and personal
healing journey and workingdirectly with hundreds and
thousands of mothers who areseeking real solutions, not just
symptom management.
(20:03):
Okay, so for those who have beenfollowing my work for years,
you've actually seen pieces ofthis method before.
Actually, you've seen it quitefrequently.
At its core, though, it hasevolved Okay.
At it in its core, though, ithas evolved okay.
I actually first published thecore principles in my book
Reclaiming Postpartum Wellness,and I did that several years ago
(20:24):
, though it's a slightlydifferent format, right, it's
more geared towards moms and myapproach.
And now, through my assessmenttool, I recognize the need for
comprehensive evaluation andstandard screening that also
address specifically providers.
(20:46):
Ok, so this method has been anactive use for many, many, many
years.
We've had literally thousandsof mothers complete various
versions of the assessment.
It's even linked again in mypublished book.
I've been using theseprinciples in my direct client
work and sharing them with otherproviders I've trained, but
(21:07):
here's where things get a littleinteresting and, frankly,
frustrating.
Originally, this method wasunder a different name.
I went through the process oftrademarking it only to discover
that someone else had filed atrademark application for the
exact same name at the exactsame time, two trademark
(21:27):
applications, identical names,filed simultaneously.
Like what are the odds of thathappening?
And then and then, somethingeven more problematic happened.
Another practitioner stole mywork.
She copied my method, its name,even the format of my
(21:48):
certification program.
It was a complete mess.
That was both heartbreaking andinfuriating.
It like it just it was so awfulright, and I think at that
point I was like you know what?
I think God is telling me thisis not the name and I made the
decision to completely rebrand.
(22:10):
So I updated the name to thePostpartum Restoration Method,
which is now under TrademarkReview, and I am the one and
only.
And it took, I took this as anopportunity to kind of evolve
the entire framework.
So the original framework wasprimarily designed for mothers
themselves to understand andimplement.
(22:32):
But as more providers beganrequesting training in this
approach and my work really isfor providers, that's what I do
so well, I do it for the mothers, but I train so many providers,
that's what postpartumuniversity is and I realized
that we needed a versionspecifically designed for
professional implementation.
So we completely updatedeverything.
(22:53):
The assessment tool was refinedand validated through
additional use and theintervention protocols, you know
, quote unquote intervention,lifestyle protocols, whatever it
is that you want to call themwere expanded and organized for
professional application.
So the educational materialswere kind of restructured to
train providers rather than justlike inform moms.
(23:17):
Okay, and honestly, honestly,it feels so much better now.
The method is morecomprehensive, it's more
clinically applicable, it's moreeffective than it has ever been
before.
Okay, and let me tell you abouthow this assessment tool
actually works in practice,because this is where the magic
(23:38):
happens, unlike conventionalscreening tools like the
Edenberg postnatal depressionscale, which research shows
again is only marginally betterthan chance at identifying
struggling mothers.
I know I'm saying that so often, but our assessment examines
the whole woman across multiplesystems.
(24:00):
So we address the maincategories physical symptoms,
mental, emotional experiencesand a historical context.
That's what shows up on theassessment, but it actually, if
you go get the training for theassessment, all of the
five-point frameworks is builtinto those categories.
We keep it easy because that isthe assessment tool that's
(24:22):
going to be handed out to moms,right?
That's the thing that she'sgoing to see, and so we need to
keep that as easy as possible.
But in the back end you'regoing to see a combination of
digestive issues, hair loss,frequent infections, alongside
fatigue and mood changes.
And so we're not justidentifying individual symptoms,
we're recognizing a patternthat indicates specific
(24:45):
physiological imbalances thatcan be directly assessed.
Right, so there's a scoringsystem that places mothers into
one of three tiers.
So we have the first tiers momswho are experiencing pretty
mild imbalances, but it can beaddressed relatively easy,
simple interventions.
(25:06):
These are often moms who arefunctioning reasonably well, but
they know something feels alittle off right.
They haven't quite foundthemselves yet.
The second tier is moms who areexperiencing moderate
challenges that require somesubstantial, coordinated support
.
They're usually struggling inmultiple areas simultaneously.
They need a systematic approachand often they're lacking a lot
(25:30):
of support.
And then third tier momsrequire immediate, comprehensive
intervention.
These are moms who have beenstruggling for months or even
years without effective support.
Here's the thing.
The revolutionary part aboutthis is, instead of just
identifying the problems, theassessment directly informs the
(25:50):
next steps, the strategies forhealing.
So each pattern and resultspoint to specific research-based
interventions, lifestylechanges that address root causes
.
Okay, so I'll give you a realexample.
Recently, a provider contactedme about a mom who scored in the
(26:13):
second tier, who particularlyhad high scores in neurological
regulation and nutritionalfoundation.
So, based on this pattern, theyimplemented targeted
nutritional interventions forcommon postpartum deficiencies,
while simultaneously addressingnervous system dysregulation
with some specific techniques.
(26:34):
So, within four weeks, this momwas experiencing improvements
in mood, sleep, energy andcognitive function, and by three
months, her follow-upassessment showed she had moved
to first tier, with mostsymptoms resolved completely.
And that's one of the mostbeautiful things about this
(26:55):
assessment is that we get to goback to it all the time and moms
get to go back to it.
They get to track theirprogress with it, and one thing
that we were using it beforeimplementing with providers is
that when moms get to use this,they get to take it to their
provider.
They get to say here's all thethings that I'm experiencing
(27:17):
experiencing because how manymoms and I'm the exact same way.
If I walk into my provider'soffice, I have a massive list on
paper that I had to write up ofall the things that I'm
experiencing, or all the thingsthat my child is experiencing,
or whatever, because the momentI walk in that door, I forget,
and then I'm like leaving andI'm like wait, I forgot to tell
them about this and I forgot totell them about that.
Right, that happens sofrequently, and so when you have
(27:40):
an assessment that goes throughall of the different things,
all of the different symptomsyou can possibly experience,
then what we have is acomprehensive care list and
there's no longer like isolatedlittle things that we might
forget to tell our provider andour providers now trained to ask
(28:01):
and therefore we miss asignificant part of the care
that we should have.
Okay, so this method works very,very differently than other
methods.
As we have said, we've talkedabout all of these and there are
many key insights that drivethis method right.
(28:23):
The physiological changes thatcreate predictable patterns of
imbalance that can besystematically identified and
addressed.
Right.
Nutritional demands forpregnancy and breastfeeding, for
example, iron, b vitamins,omega-3, fatty acids, magnesiums
.
Those deficiencies createsymptoms that are often
(28:45):
mislabeled, as you know,psychological causes or
dismissed as normal postpartumexperiences.
Right.
By understanding these patternsand their interconnections into
the body, we can createtargeted interventions and
strategies that are really goingto change a mom's life and
(29:06):
their family's life, and that'sone of the most gratifying
aspects of sharing this method.
So many people have said how inthe world are you giving this
away for free, like this isabsolutely bonkers.
I've had many providers andcolleagues reach out to me
saying you know that you couldcharge for this right?
And it's like, yeah, Iabsolutely do, but I'm not ever
(29:28):
going to do that because nobodyhas these tools.
And, honestly, if somebodydoesn't understand or recognize
how significant this is andusually they're not going to
until they open it because we'venot created something like this
before If you've never seen itbefore, it's hard to imagine how
good it could be.
And then when you see it,you're like blown away and
you're thinking, oh, my word,how I didn't know, right, so
(29:50):
nobody's going to purchase that.
Really.
I mean, maybe a lot of peoplewill, but I like I don't want
that behind a paywall.
I want everybody to use this.
I want every provider acrossdifferent disciplines medical
doctors, mental healthprofessionals, nutritionists,
bodywork practitioners, birthprofessionals I want them to be
(30:11):
able to use this framework tohelp create truly integrated
care.
Right, and it's not just youknow, I I've heard doulas, too,
saying like this isrevolutionary, like I don't do
anything about it, I, as a doula, it's not something that you go
, you know, diagnose or anythingwith, but it's like so easy to
(30:32):
be like, oh, this might behappening for you and and and
it's like laid out for them.
Right, you have a sheet thatyou give to your clients and
here's your next steps, here'syour strategies.
Let me help you connect youwith the providers who can, who
can give that support to you.
Right, and it's so beautifulfor anyone who is an advocate
(30:54):
not even necessarily, you know,medically trained to be able to
provide support.
Like let me help you find thatprovider who's gonna help you do
X, y, z or whatever.
Like this is your next step.
Like let's do it together.
So easy, so, so easy.
And it's so much more exciting.
And I truly believe we're atthis turning point in postpartum
(31:17):
care.
For too long, we've acceptedthat moms should struggle
through postpartum period withminimal support and fragmented
care, but as more providersimplement comprehensive
approaches like the postpartumrestoration method, we're
proving that complete postpartumrecovery is not only possible,
(31:39):
it should be the standard ofcare.
The success that we're seeingwith this method is just the
beginning, and as we train moreproviders and we conduct more
research and we refine ourapproaches which is always how
it should be, always, always,always, always, always.
Okay I envision a future whereevery mother has access to
