Episode #29: More on blood work in pregnancy & postpartum w/ Sara Russell

In this episode, Hannah & Victoria welcome back Sara Russell, Ph.D., to finish our discussion on research-based blood test analysis in pregnancy and postpartum, plus an exploration of the general brilliance that is speaking with Sara.

We cover:

* General review of the blood markers that have special postpartum ranges

* 6 blood markers that can detect an early risk of preeclampsia

* The incredible medicinal qualities of plain old white button mushrooms

* Why you shouldn’t be afraid of soy

* The brand of prenatal Sara recommends (no, she’s not affiliated!) and why choline is so crucial

* The 3 layers of celiac disease and the connection to pregnancy and postpartum

* The links between postpartum thyroiditis, non-celiac gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, bipolar disorder, and postpartum psychosis and why some people should NOT take SSRIs when experiencing postpartum depression

* The paternal contribution to preeclampsia (yep, the dad)

* Why aspirin might be a great tool for you in pregnancy
