If you’ve been feeling depleted, stuck, or like your body just isn’t bouncing back after baby, there’s a good chance you’re missing one key nutrient: protein.
Whether you want to heal faster, have more energy, build strength, or lose fat — protein plays a massive role in your recovery and results. And most postpartum moms aren’t getting nearly enough.
In this episode, I’m breaking down:
Why protein is non-negotiable for postpartum healing, energy, milk supply, and metabolism
How much protein postpartum moms actually need (it’s more than you’ve been told)
Easy, realistic ways to get enough protein in your day — without tracking every bite
The best protein sources to help you feel full, strong, and nourished
You’ll also hear my own postpartum story — how focusing on protein helped me recover faster, support my milk production, and see changes in my body composition when I returned to exercise.
