Amy shares her journey into hyperbaric oxygen therapy, beginning with her work in the commercial dive industry and transitioning to medical applications. The episode delves into the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for postpartum healing, emphasizing its role in speeding up recovery at the cellular level and aiding the body's healing processes.

Additionally, the episode explores red light therapy, which Amy also offers at her clinic. Red light therapy is beneficial for increasing blood flow, enhancing collagen production, and modulating hormone levels, making it a valuable tool for postpartum recovery. Amy emphasizes the importance of tailoring therapy sessions to individual needs, particularly for those with complex health conditions or heightened sensitivity. Listeners are encouraged to explore these therapies to support their postpartum journey and connect with Amy through her clinic's social media platforms and website.

Title: 120 | The 1st step to reducing anxiety in Postpartum as First-time Mom Welcome to the New Mom Naturopath Podcast! Exercise can significantly reduce anxiety in postpartum by leveraging the body's natural mechanisms for mood regulation. Physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins, which are natural mood lifters, and reduces stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol, helping to alleviate anxiety. Regular exercise also boosts serotonin and dopamine levels, neurotransmitters critical for maintaining a positive mood. Engaging in various forms of exercise, such as aerobic activities, strength training, yoga, and outdoor pursuits, not only helps manage anxiety but also provides a sense of accomplishment and mental resilience. Incorporating enjoyable and consistent physical activity into daily life, whether through group classes, outdoor activities, or simply taking a walk, can be a powerful tool for new moms to manage postpartum anxiety effectively.
