In this episode of Doula Talk: Postpartum, Babies, and the Battle for Sleep, Deb sits down with holistic family chiropractor and author Dr. Avery Champagne to uncover what’s really happening in a mother’s body when she feels anxious, wired, or unable to rest after birth.
Dr. Champagne explains how postpartum anxiety and exhaustion stem from a dysregulated nervous system, not just lack of willpower. He and Deb break down how chronic stress, sleep deprivation, and hormonal changes can keep moms stuck in fight-or-flight mode, and what it takes to restore balance. From practical tools like cold-water face dips and deep breathing to chiropractic adjustments that support the brain-body connection, listeners learn how to move toward calm, grounded postpartum health.
They also discuss Dr. Champagne’s book, Root Causes: Why the Healthcare System is Failing Us and What We Can Do About It, and why true wellness means creating health — not just treating symptoms.
