Episode 110: Real Talk, Life Shifts, and Postpartum Reflections

As Healthy As A Mother steps into Season 8, your favorite naturopathic duo, Dr. Leah Gordon and Dr. Morgan MacDermott, are back behind the mic for a refreshingly honest life update episode. These two best friends kick off every new season with a heart-to-heart, and this one is no exception—it’s candid, raw, and packed with relatable mom moments.

Motherhood, Work, and the Messy Middle

Dr. Leah opens up about being nearly five months postpartum and the unexpected emotional and logistical challenges of navigating this stage while juggling her professional world. She reflects on the realness of postpartum life—not just the beautiful moments, but the struggles too. From sleep deprivation to shifting identities, Leah gets honest about how this season has stretched her.

Meanwhile, Dr. Morgan shares how her family is adjusting to her husband's new job and the impact it's had on their routines, childcare, and the general ebb and flow of life with kids in sports and school. It’s a real-time look at how even health experts are constantly adapting behind the scenes.
