The FDA has approved the first pill for postpartum depression, Zuranolone (Zurzuvae) on August 4th, 2023. We discuss this and more with Katie Galvin, a former speech language pathologist turned women's functional nutrition practitioner, holistic life coach, and postpartum doula, who shares her personal experience with postpartum health challenges and the flaws in the standard allopathic medical model. She discusses the lack of informed consent and alternative treatment options provided by doctors, the importance of addressing the complexity of postpartum health holistically, and the need for proper nutrition and support during the postpartum period. We examine how the drug Zuranolone became approved, the financial conflicts of interest and the potential harms to mothers that take this drug. The conversation highlights the need for a shift in the medical approach to postpartum care and the recognition of the unique physiological changes and emotional challenges women face during this time. The conversation explores the flaws in the current medical system and the need for a more holistic approach to healthcare. It discusses the pressure on doctors to maintain authority and the consequences of this mindset. The conversation also delves into the pharmaceutical industry's influence on medical practices and the lack of informed consent. The importance of addressing the root causes of health issues and empowering individuals to take control of their own well-being is emphasized. The conversation concludes with a call to resist the current system and seek alternative approaches to healthcare. 00:00 Introduction: The Approval of the First Oral Treatment for Postpartum Depression 02:26 The Flaws in the Standard Allopathic Medical Model for Postpartum Health 11:50 The Lack of Informed Consent and Alternative Treatment Options 15:01 The Importance of Nutrition and Support in Postpartum Recovery 29:01 The Need for a Shift in the Medical Approach to Postpartum Care 31:37 Flaws in the Current Medical System 43:17 The Pressure on Doctors and Lack of Informed Consent 52:19 Addressing Root Causes and Empowering Individuals 55:07 The Influence of the Pharmaceutical Industry 56:30 Resisting the Current System and Seeking Alternatives Note: This podcast episode is designed solely for informational and educational purposes, without endorsing or promoting any specific medical treatments.
