Episode Details

Trying to lose weight while breastfeeding can feel confusing — and often stressful. Many moms feel stuck between wanting to feel like themselves again and worrying about how nutrition or dieting might impact their milk supply.

In this episode of the Strong & Nourished Momma Podcast, Val interviews registered dietitian and lactation counselor Brooke Miller about realistic postpartum nutrition, metabolism, and sustainable weight loss during breastfeeding.

You’ll learn how to approach fat loss without extreme dieting, why fueling matters for both energy and milk production, and how to support your body so you can feel stronger and more confident in motherhood.

This conversation is especially helpful for postpartum moms navigating body changes, fatigue, and conflicting advice around breastfeeding and weight loss.

If you were told the weight would just fall off while breastfeeding — and that hasn’t been your experience — this episode is for you.
