The Truth About Mental Health After Miscarriage | Kate Morton

TRIGGER WARNING: Miscarriage, mental health struggles 

EPISODE 206: Pregnancy loss is a harrowing experience to go through—it makes you question yourself, wondering what you could have done differently. 

After experiencing a miscarriage, it’s very natural to feel overwhelmed, but sometimes, your anxiety can spiral out of control and make it more difficult for you to live your day-to-day life, and most importantly, to heal.

And if you can’t heal, then you can’t move forward. 

To discuss this in more depth, I sit down with the brilliant Kate Morton in this week’s episode of the Balancing Hormones Naturally podcast.

Kate, a registered dietitian, is here to discuss what it takes to navigate mental health after a miscarriage and the vital role that hormonal balance plays in emotional well-being. 

She shares her own experience with pregnancy loss, how she overcame it, and what steps she took to heal both mentally and physically. 

Kate and I will also be talking about the importance of taking care of your mental health post-miscarriage, how diet can help you regulate your mood after a period of emotional stress, why you need a mix of mental and physical care to recover after pregnancy loss, and so much more.

This deeply personal episode is for every woman out there who’s struggling with anxiety after miscarriage.

Let’s dive in.

I’m Leah Brueggemann, a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner and Hormone Health Coach, helping you balance your hormones in effective and realistic ways so you can live a healthier, happier life.

Five years ago, I found out I had fibroadenomas (benign breast tumors), which 90% of the time return after surgical removal. I decided not to undergo the operation and instead found a way to heal the underlying cause. After years of extreme pain, irregular cycles, and ovarian cysts, I finally learned how to balance my hormones which healed my fibroadenomas and led me to regular, pain-free periods. 

I learned how to make lifestyle shifts, remove toxins from my environment, and give my body what it actually needs to function optimally and heal on a cellular level. After my experience, I became a Functional Diagnostic Nutritional® Practitioner so that I can empower women in their own holistic health journey.

Even if you’ve been told your labs are normal or that your symptoms aren’t a cause for concern - YOU are the expert of your body and your experience. You deserve to feel AMAZING, not just “normal”. I’m here to help you achieve optimal overall health through simple, straightforward lifestyle changes that you can start to implement today.
