Mothers with gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, and preterm birth often fall into a healthcare gap post-childbirth. The triggers for these complications do not end with pregnancy. Many of these mothers go on to develop diabetes, dementia, stroke, and heart or kidney disease. The good news is there are proactive measures they can take to avoid these outcomes. The bad news is they don't know they should be taking action now.
Dr. Amy Loden Tiffany, a physician, speaker, author, and mother of four, shares her journey from gestational diabetes and facing life-threatening heart failure from preeclampsia to an emergency C-section and prolonged NICU experience.
Today, she combines her experience as a patient with her professional expertise and empowers mothers to leverage their pregnancy and postpartum years to prevent chronic diseases. For many mothers, this starts with postpartum weight loss. Her workbook, "Sustainable Strategies for Postpartum Weight Loss: Science-Based Solutions for Busy Mothers," guides readers to start creating a health-promoting lifestyle.
This TEDx talk reminds us that pregnancy is more than the birth of a child-it’s a pivotal moment in a woman's health story and an opportunity for transformation. Dr. Loden Tiffany is a triple board-certified physician specializing in Internal Medicine, Lifestyle Medicine, and Obesity Medicine, bringing a wealth of expertise to her practice. Notably, she is also a board-certified health and wellness coach with additional coaching experience in life coaching, allowing her to offer a comprehensive approach to healthcare. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
