  Beyond the Lindsay Clancy Headlines: Separating Fact from Fear About Postpartum Mental Health with Dr. Nikki Pensak

  Aug 6, 202649 min

  The Lindsay Clancy trial has brought postpartum mental health into the national spotlight. But alongside the headlines have come fear, misinformation, and confusion. This episode isn't about speculating on the case. It's about shining a light on postpartum mental illness—the signs, the symptoms, the misinformation, and what every woman and family deserves to know. Because postpartum mental health exists on a spectrum, and the earlier we recognize when something isn't right, the better chance we have to help. In this episode, Cat sits down with clinical psychologist and perinatal mental health expert Dr. Nikki Pensak to separate fact from fear and unpack postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, bipolar disorder, and postpartum psychosis. Together, they discuss the signs and symptoms every woman and partner should know, the role of sleep, medication, and proactive mental healthcare, how to distinguish intrusive thoughts from psychiatric emergencies, and why early intervention can save lives. In this episode: Postpartum psychosis vs. postpartum depression, anxiety & OCD Bipolar disorder and postpartum mental health The postpartum brain and matrescence Intrusive thoughts vs. psychosis SSRIs during pregnancy and postpartum Warning signs, risk factors, and prevention Building your postpartum mental healthcare team What every new mom, partner, and family should know Because postpartum mental illness is treatable, and no woman should have to navigate it alone. Disclaimer: This episode is for educational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice or a diagnosis. While the Lindsay Clancy case provides context for this conversation, our discussion reflects general education about postpartum mental health and should not be interpreted as commentary on any individual's diagnosis, treatment, or care. If you or someone you love is struggling, please seek care from a qualified healthcare professional.

  Why the Hormone Conversation Has Lost the Plot | A New Era of Hormone Testing with Marina Pavlovic Rivas

  Jul 23, 20261h 15m

  We've all been told to "balance our hormones." But the truth is, balancing your hormones isn't actually a thing. Hormones are meant to fluctuate. They're dynamic by design. So how can we understand something that's constantly changing if we're only measuring it once? This week on Off With Your Coat , I sit down with Marina Pavlovic Rivas —data scientist, founder of Eli Health, and one of the women working to transform how we understand hormones. After recognizing that traditional lab testing offers only a snapshot in time, Marina set out to build technology that gives women a more continuous picture of what's happening inside their bodies. Together, we unpack one of the most misunderstood hormones on social media: cortisol. Is it really the villain it's made out to be? How does it influence fertility, metabolism, sleep, stress, aging, and longevity? And what can hormone data actually tell us about our health? We also explore why women have historically been underserved by medical research, how AI and continuous hormone monitoring may reshape the future of personalized medicine, and why better data—not more wellness trends—is what women truly need. This conversation isn't about "fixing" your hormones. It's about understanding them. In this episode: Why "balancing your hormones" isn't actually a thing The truth about cortisol—and why it's been misunderstood Why one hormone test rarely tells the full story How lifestyle shapes your hormonal rhythms The future of women's health: AI, continuous hormone monitoring, and personalized care Why women deserve research designed for women's bodies How better data leads to better health decisions Connect with Marina & Eli Health: LinkedIn Instagram Eli Health
