10. MOM BRAIN | How To Feel Like Yourself Again | The Science Behind Mom Brain with Dr. Karla Mehlenbacher

Published: Nov. 6, 2019, noon

#10: Have you ever felt like you\u2019ve traded in brain cells for your baby? 'Mom Brain' is something I\u2019ve heard thrown around on the regular and I say it myself constantly when I have a lapse in my memory or do something silly. When I did further research into it, however, I realized there isn\u2019t that much information on the topic readily available in easy to digest formats like youtube videos or podcasts. I was so happy to sit down with Dr. Mehlenbacher to try to understand what\u2019s going on with our brains during and after pregnancy. Spoiler alert: lack of sleep is a HUGE part of it. But it is much deeper than that too. It was fascinating to learn about this.

Here\u2019s a bit more about our guest: Dr. Karla Mehlenbacher is a Board-Certified Chiropractic Neurologist, holistic autoimmune practitioner and founder of Take Root Brain & Body.
