E78: The Environmental Domain of Exploring

Feb 14, 2025

For as long as humans have explored, we have left our mark on the environment—for better or worse. From the disappearance of prehistoric animals to the mountains of trash left behind on Everest, our drive to discover new places has always had consequences.

In the environmental domain of exploring, Kirtly Jones, MD, and Katie Ward, DNP, examine the complex relationship between human curiosity and the natural world, reflecting on both its unintended harms and its role in conservation. They discuss the impact of travel, the ethics of adventure, and the importance of mindful exploration. Whether journeying to remote destinations or finding wonder in familiar landscapes, this conversation considers how discovery and environmental responsibility can go hand in hand.

Postpartum Depression is Not Normal — But it is Common
Postpartum mood and anxiety disorders are the most common complication of pregnancy and impact 1 in 4 women. Whether it's Baby #1 or Baby #3, feeling overwhelmed is common and a normal adjustment to having a new baby. But when does the feeling of being overwhelmed become something not normal and more serious than the baby blues? Women's health expert Kirtly Jones, MD, talks with Jamie Hales, LCSW, board co-chair for Postpartum Support International and clinical manager for Huntsman Mental Health Institute, about the sign and symptoms of postpartum depression, contributing factors that can put a woman more at risk, and available treatment options. If your motherhood experience is not going the way you expected, it is okay to admit you are struggling, and it is encouraged to not hesitate to seek professional and medical help.
