Description

Hosted by Dr. Mary Ellen Kramp, The Postpartum Years is a podcast exploring the physical and emotional realities that come after birth—those days, weeks, months and years when women’s bodies, hormones, and identities are transforming. As a doctor of physical therapy and pelvic health specialist, Mary Ellen sits down with fellow clinicians, physicians, lactation consultants, and other women’s health experts to have candid, evidence-based conversations about the challenges nobody talks about enough—from breastfeeding and pelvic recovery to hormones, pain, and postpartum mental health.
