Motherhood comes with its fair share of aches, exhaustion, and “just push through” moments — but what if the answers lie beyond quick fixes? In this HER+ Expert Roundtable, we explore how nutrition, movement, mental health, and medical care intertwine to create true, lasting wellness for moms.

Our panel of HER+ Experts dives into the root causes of common mom ailments like fatigue, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, and burnout. This powerful conversation highlights the importance of self-care, community, and systems of support that empower moms to thrive — not just survive.

This episode marks the fourth and final roundtable in our 2025 Expert Series. Each roundtable brings together professionals from across disciplines to share insights, learn from one another, and offer holistic solutions for the challenges moms face every day.

These are the top three things you will learn from this podcast episode:

How to address the root causes of fatigue and burnout — including the roles of nutrient deficiencies, stress, and sleep deprivation, and why these factors are often overlooked in moms’ health.

The connection between hormones, movement, and mental health — and how understanding this mind-body relationship can ease symptoms of perimenopause, postpartum changes, and overall emotional strain.

Why holistic care matters — and how integrating nutrition, medical support, and mindful self-care can create lasting wellness instead of short-term fixes.
