Can intuitive eating and weight loss exist at the same time… especially after having kids?
In this episode of Nutrition for Mamas, postpartum dietitian Brooke Miller talks with board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Stefanie Reinald about the real, nuanced middle ground between intuitive eating and wanting to lose weight as a mom.
• Guilty for wanting your jeans to fit again
• Confused by anti-diet culture
• Uncomfortable in your postpartum body
• Afraid to track food but unsure what your body needs
• Told you must “accept your body” even when you don’t feel healthy
This conversation is for you.
• What intuitive eating actually gets right
• Where intuitive eating can miss the mark for moms
• Why wanting weight loss is not automatically unhealthy
• How nourishing your body can naturally support fat loss
• Protein and fiber needs for postpartum moms
• Hormones, set-point weight, and metabolism after pregnancy
• When tracking food helps vs when it hurts
• Why the scale is neutral (but not always helpful)
• GLP-1 medications and modern weight culture
• How to feel more comfortable in your body today
• Healthy motivation vs punishment mindset
Dr. Reinald shares clinical insight from working with women with eating disorders, postpartum mental health struggles, and hormone imbalances, along with her personal experience as a mom of four.
