Weight loss after pregnancy can be a difficult and emotional journey. However, it is possible to lose weight and get back to your pre-pregnancy weight with the right support. This week MetPro client, Melissa Urso, joins us and we discuss her postpartum journey to lose the weight she gained during pregnancy and nourish her body while doing so. Melissa is active and also works in the medical field as a Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). MetPro was the perfect choice for Melissa because it gave her the structure and support she needed to lose weight safely and effectively.
