Description
In today’s episode I discuss how the immune system changes in motherhood and explore the key ways you can support your immunity through diet and lifestyle. In motherhood, a responsive immune system is needed to ensure good physical, mental and emotional recovery throughout motherhood, especially immediately after giving birth. In the episode I cover: The different ways the immune system responds for women and men How the immune system is affected by our environment The immune system in pregnancy Gut health and immunity Autoimmunity, especially in the first year postpartum What to eat to build a healthy immune system in motherhood This episode will help you understand why focusing on the quality of your food and the lifestyle choices you make can affect your immune system, your recovery from pregnancy and childbirth and potentially your health for life. Immune health in early motherhood needs to centre around physical, mental and emotional aspects to ensure a full and healthy recovery. I believe this is hugely undervalued, yet easily resolved with sufficient rest, the right food and hydration guidance and enough support from the wider network.
