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.
