Have you heard of postpartum thyroiditis or adrenal exhaustion? Me neither, which is why I invited Maraya Brown onto the podcast! Maraya is a certified nurse midwife turned women\\u2019s health coach who\\u2019s worked in women\\u2019s healthcare for over two decades in many different capacities. She is here to talk about many aspects of postpartum wellness which she encounters through her work, specifically thyroiditis and adrenal exhaustion. Neither one of these things are terribly common, and there\\u2019s actually some controversy as to whether adrenal exhaustion is even something that exists. However, I know that our understanding of medicine and what happens in our bodies and women\\u2019s health is always evolving. So, selfishly, I invited Maraya on because I wanted to know more about these topics and I think you will want to know more about them, too!

In this Episode, You\\u2019ll Learn About:

-Why Maraya became a women\\u2019s health coach

-What is functional medicine and how Maraya uses it in her work

-What is postpartum thyroiditis and what are the symptoms

-What adrenal exhaustion is and what causes it

-What is toxin reduction and how to implement it in your life

-What is oxytocin and how to maximize it in the postpartum

-What are Maraya\\u2019s recommendations for gut, thyroid, adrenal, and liver health
