Hi guys, I'm Gwyneth Paltrow. Welcome to the Goop podcast. Made possible by our friends

at Bowling Branch.

Today's guest is Dr. Katherine Berndorf, a clinical associate professor of psychiatry

and obstetrics gynecology and founding director of the Pain Whitney Women's program at the

New York Presbyterian Hospital while Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan. Dr. Berndorf

specializes in reproductive mental health for women before, during, and after pregnancy,

which tend to all be times of intense hormonal transitions. Most recently and most importantly,

she co-founded the motherhood center, a very much needed destination for pregnant and

postpartum women in New York City who need extra support. And she's at work on a new book

about the emotional side of pregnancy and postpartum. Dr. Berndorf sat down with Elise

Loonon, Goop's chief content officer to talk about the intersection of reproductive

health and mental well-being. Before we get to Dr. Berndorf, let's talk about one of

our partners.

Hey, it's Elise. A few years ago, we did a story on Goop about organic cotton. In the

course of our deep dive, we learned how toxic conventional cotton can really be, for

the environment and then for our bodies. And just how hard it is to find got certified

organic cotton, the highest certification in organic cotton farming and production.

Not only is Boland Branch's betting got certified, but its fair trade certified too. This

means that everyone involved in the supply chain, from their farmers to the factory workers,

has been treated fairly. Another reason to love Boland Branch? The sheets are incredibly

soft and only get softer the longer you have them. For $50 off your first set, head over
