Your Hormonal Story by Happy Healthy YOU

Postpartum Depression & Early Perimenopause - Victoria Lucio

Brittany Season 1 Episode 3

29 year old Victoria from Texas chats deeply about the trauma she experienced in her first birth and postpartum journey including PPD, a full body candida infection, Hypothyroid and Hyperthyroidism on top of the challenges and stresses of early motherhood and lack of support she experienced from the medical system.

She suffered with hormonal imbalances from her teens with painful, heavy periods, PMS & then thyroid issues before her first pregnancy and talks us through this all and also reveals her latest pregnancy (which she managed to do naturally) through Happy Healthy You's 4 week program and implementing her own lifestyle changes after experiencing perimenopause symptoms.

This is such an open and inspiring story, we discuss depression, insomnia, diet, nutrition, weight, gut health, adrenals, how to spot symptoms of hormonal imbalances and when to push for support and a diagnosis and how to support yourself through these shifts.

We hope you enjoy this episode and that it motivates you to take your health in to your own hands to live a better life.
