If that’s been something you’ve been wondering, you’re not alone and you’re not doing anything wrong. In this episode, Brooke debunks the myth that breastfeeding magically melts the weight away and unpacks the real reasons why your body might be holding on to weight (or even gaining). Let’s get to the root of what’s really going on and how to support your hormones, metabolism, and milk supply without restrictive diets or guilt.

What to Listen For:

• Why breastfeeding alone won’t guarantee weight loss (and what to focus on instead)


• The impact of hormone shifts and metabolism changes postpartum


• What nutrient deficiencies and blood sugar crashes have to do with your weight


• How sleep deprivation and stress can slow down or stall your results


• Why some moms even gain weight while breastfeeding and what to do about it


• Brooke’s personal story of 3 very different postpartum weight journeys


• How to spot hidden root causes like thyroid issues, gut imbalances, and PCOS


• Why undereating might be making things worse for your energy, mood, and supply


• Simple things you can do today to support your health (without burnout!)


• A reminder that you’re not broken and you can feel like yourself again 💛

Postpartum weight loss isn’t linear and it’s not your fault if the weight isn’t coming off at the pace or rate you were expecting or wanting. Your body is doing a lot right now, and with the right support, healing is absolutely possible.  If this episode spoke to you, don’t miss Brooke’s free workshop where she walks you through her 3-step method to boost mood, metabolism, and milk supply without cutting calories or cutting out joy. 🎧 Click the link below to save your spot!
