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:

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. 💪

Thinking about trying Ozempic, Wegovy, or Monjaro? You’re not alone. In this episode, Brooke unpacks the pros, cons, and common misconceptions around semaglutide medications for postpartum moms.

What happens when you stop taking semaglutides without making lifestyle changes

Real talk on the side effects—nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and more
