Summary
Did you know that the postpartum hormone drop is considered the single largest sudden hormone change in the shortest amount of time—and it has a tremendous impact on the brain? With such a dramatic drop in hormone levels, it’s no surprise that 1 in 7 women struggle with postpartum depression and anxiety after giving birth.
On today’s mini-episode, Dhru talks to Dr. Maggie Ney and Angelique Panagos about the postpartum experience—from hormonal shifts, to “mommy brain”, to postpartum depression, and understanding the changes that happen in the brain during the postpartum period.
Dr. Maggie Ney is a licensed Naturopathic Doctor, and the founder and director of the Women’s Clinic at the Akasha Center for Integrative Medicine in Santa Monica, California.
Angelique Panagos is a nutritional therapist and Functional Medicine practitioner; she completed her nutritional therapy training at the renowned Institute of Optimum Nutrition in London. Angelique runs a busy private practice, specializing in hormonal health, stress management, weight management, and digestive wellness.

This episode is brought to you by the Pegan Shake.
How you start your morning sets the tone for the day. I’m a huge fan of morning routines because I think they can transform your ability to focus, sleep well, and get the most out of your day, especially in this busy, modern world.
What I’ve found is that the best way to begin your day is to feed your body the right information or the right nutrients. That’s why Dr. Mark Hyman and I created the Pegan Shake. It’s a nutritionally packed morning blend designed to support healthy blood sugar, energy, and brainpower.
It contains some of my most favorite brain-boosting foods like MCT and avocado. It also features acacia fiber for healthy gut function and collagen, pumpkin, and pea protein to support muscle synthesis. Check it out at getfarmacy.com/peganshake.

| 0:00.0 | Coming up on this week's mini episode of the Broken Brain Podcast. |
| 0:03.6 | There is a tremendous drop in hormones within a day or two of Giving Burr. |
| 0:08.2 | So we had our chlacenta producing so much estrogen and progesterone in our body. |
| 0:14.3 | In the moment we give birth and we birth that chlacenta, there's a plummet. |
| 0:18.4 | Like a thousand full drop in hormones. Can you imagine like how much of a shock that is to the body? |
| 0:23.6 | Hi everyone. This episode of the podcast is brought to you by my new venture |
| 0:29.0 | and our newest protein powder, the Pigan Shake. |
| 0:32.1 | One of the best ways to boost your brain power is with the best nutrition. |
| 0:36.2 | This is why Dr. Mark Heimann and I teamed up to create the perfect shake to start your morning off right |
| 0:42.7 | and set your brain and body up for vitality and success. |
| 0:46.1 | The shake is called the Pigan Shake and it features a combination of grass-fed collagen, |
| 0:51.2 | organic pumpkin and organic pea protein powder with healthy fats from MCT oil and avocado oil, |
| 0:58.2 | which by the way are great for fat burning and fueling brain power as well. |
| 1:03.2 | A little bonus, the Pigan Shake also features organic acacia fiber, which is great for gut |
| 1:09.6 | motility and digestion. See, this shake was created to support healthy blood sugar and healthy |
| 1:15.6 | energy levels. In fact, one of the most common reasons for mood and balances and brain challenges |
| 1:21.7 | come from unbalanced blood sugar. Have you ever felt anxious, tired and wired and then |
| 1:27.3 | ate something and felt better? Well, when your blood sugar goes through major fluctuations throughout |
| 1:32.8 | the day, you literally can feel crazy. I know so many people can relate. So the Pigan Shake supports |
| 1:38.3 | your blood sugar by feeding your body the right information from this perfect combination of macro |
| 1:43.4 | nutrients. I've been using the Pigan Shake for months and I feel full, satisfied, satiated, |
| 1:48.3 | focused and most importantly, I avoid those energy slumps that come in the late afternoon too. |
