Does postpartum weight loss feel impossible without tanking your milk supply or energy? In this episode, Brooke busts the “breastfeeding = weight loss” myth and shares what your body actually needs to heal, lose weight, and feel like you again—without dieting or sacrificing your milk.

What to Listen For:

  • Why breastfeeding alone doesn’t lead to automatic weight loss
  • The truth about hormone shifts and nutrient depletion postpartum
  • How cutting calories too low can wreck your mood, metabolism, and milk
  • What most “healthy” meal plans miss for breastfeeding moms
  • The 3 essential nutrients you need more of now than during pregnancy
  • Common weight loss mistakes that backfire (and what to do instead)
  • The connection between blood sugar and cravings, mood, and milk
  • Why skipping meals and carbs is sabotaging your goals
  • Simple plate-building strategies that nourish and support healing
  • How to feel good in your body again without guilt or restriction

Postpartum weight loss doesn’t have to mean deprivation, milk loss, or exhaustion. By nourishing your body with the right balance of protein, fats, and fiber—and supporting your hormones and metabolism—you can feel energized, confident, and strong again. 💪
