Is breastfeeding really the magic key to postpartum weight loss? 🤱⚖️

In this week’s episode, we’re busting a major myth that leaves so many moms feeling confused, frustrated, and even defeated.

Brooke gets real about what actually happens with your weight while breastfeeding and what your body really needs to heal, feel good, and support your milk supply.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

⏱ [3:15] — Why breastfeeding doesn’t guarantee weight loss (and what to focus on instead)

🍽 [4:20] — How calories and nutrition really work while nursing
🧬 [5:35] — The role of hormones and metabolism in postpartum weight
🍬 [8:10] — Blood sugar balance and why it matters more than you think
😩 [11:00] — How stress impacts weight and healing
💛 [12:50] — What you can control and how to take empowered action

Whether you're weeks or months into your journey, this episode will help you shift from frustrated to informed. Let’s clear up the confusion and start feeling good in your body again.
