Knowledge is power. Our aim is to unravel and interpret the latest research and evidence-based practices for pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood. As mums and researchers ourselves, we have experienced first-hand the overwhelming complexity of information, myths and old-wives tales. Even worse, 'advice' is being given to mums without the proper context or knowledge of their individual needs. So tune in to hear us ask experts, researchers and specialists about all things mother care, pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

The Science of Motherhood Podcast

Ever feel like your brain is running on empty and the thought of adding one more thing to your plate, like reading a book, feels impossible? You’re not alone, mama. But what if picking up a book, even for just six minutes a day, could lower your stress, boost your mood, and help you feel more like you again?

In this week’s episode of The Science of Motherhood, Dr. Renee White talks about the science behind reading and why it’s more than just a form of escapism. It is a hormonal hack for your mental health. From oxytocin to dopamine, reading triggers a cascade of feel-good hormones that can help balance the chaos of motherhood. Renee also shares her own journey back into reading after having babies and offers practical tips on how to carve out time for books, even on the busiest days.
