Beyond the Bounce Back: Postpartum Healing, Hormones & GLP-1 Conversations with Dr. Sarah Oreck
Thursday, 15 January, 2026
In this episode of The Miracle Mama Podcast, Whitney sits down with Dr. Sarah Oreck, a reproductive psychiatrist, mother of three, and Co-Founder & CEO of Mavida Health, for a thoughtful conversation on what it really means to support women through hormonally intense seasons of life. Together, they explore Dr. Oreck's personal journey through fertility and postpartum mental health, and how those experiences shaped the way she now cares for women. They also unpack the gaps in traditional healthcare for moms, especially how often mental, hormonal, and metabolic health are treated separately, when in reality they're deeply connected. Whitney and Dr. Oreck discuss the rising cultural pressure to "bounce back," and why postpartum healing requires nourishment, patience, and true whole-woman care. They also touch on GLP-1 medications and the trend of "microdosing," addressing what moms are hearing, what we know (and don't know), and why breastfeeding is a unique physiological season that deserves extra caution and compassion. This is an empowering, grounding episode for any mom navigating postpartum recovery, identity shifts, and the desire to feel like herself again.
