The Bounce Back Lie: Real Talk on Weight Loss After Baby

In this candid and powerful episode, Gianna sits down with registered dietitian and founder of Kelly’s Choice, Kelly Springer, for a deep dive into the real conversations missing from postpartum weight loss and GLP-1 medication discussions.

Together, they unpack the myth of “bouncing back,” the dangers of appetite suppression, and why you can’t supplement your way out of starvation mode—especially as a postpartum mom.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed by body image expectations, tempted by quick fixes, or unsure how to actually nourish your body after having a baby, this episode gives you the clarity and compassion you’ve been craving.

 

What You’ll Learn 💡


👩‍👧 Why the “bounce-back” narrative is outdated—and the gentle support new moms really need
🥩 Why real food > supplements (including the shocking story of a woman surviving on fries)
🧠 How nutrient deficiencies (like iron) affect circulation, brain fog, and your capacity to show up
🥚 How your body already makes GLP-1—and how to activate it naturally
🛒 The importance of postpartum planning (yes, Instacart counts)
🌱 How to build body trust and choose your pace, your way
