WellTheory’s postpartum program targets the autoimmune flare-ups traditional care misses

WellTheory launched a Postpartum Program designed to support women experiencing new or worsening autoimmune symptoms after giving birth. Here’s why this matters: 80% of autoimmune patients are women, and pregnancy ranks among the most significant hormonal shifts in a woman’s life. Those shifts often trigger new diagnoses or flare-ups, yet traditional postpartum care typically ends within weeks of delivery.

Filling a gap in women’s health

The Postpartum Program is WellTheory’s second hormonal-focused offering, following its Hormonal Health Program for women managing autoimmune disease alongside PCOS, endometriosis, or menopause. Women make up more than 70% of WellTheory’s patient population, and the company has seen growing demand from those navigating the hormonal shifts that come after childbirth.

What the program includes

WellTheory’s Postpartum Program offers:

• Personalized care plans grounded in clinical research on autoimmune and hormonal health
• One-on-one support from specialists in autoimmune and hormonal conditions
• Advanced hormonal testing when appropriate, including assessment of sex hormones, cortisol levels, and their metabolites, to help identify root causes of conditions like postpartum depression

The program builds on WellTheory’s existing care model, which recently showed that employees with autoimmune disease experienced fewer symptoms interfering with work and daily life after receiving whole-person support. This fills a gap where postpartum care stops but hormonal changes continue for months.
