• 94. Why You Cannot Lose Weight After Pregnancy Even in A Calorie Deficit & What to Do About It
    Mar 17 2026

    I made a PDF just for you :) 5 of the main reasons' why you haven't been able to lose weight since having kids!

    - Download here!

    If you’ve been eating less, trying to make healthier choices, and still feel like the scale won’t move after having kids… you’re not alone.

    Many moms assume that weight loss after pregnancy should simply come down to calories in versus calories out. But the truth is, your metabolism after pregnancy is influenced by much deeper factors.

    Pregnancy, breastfeeding, sleep deprivation, and the stress of motherhood can create shifts in hormones, nutrient status, circadian rhythm, and metabolism that make traditional weight loss advice ineffective.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down five underlying reasons weight loss can feel stuck after pregnancy, even if you’re eating in a calorie deficit.

    You’ll learn why your body may actually be holding onto weight as a protective response, and what you can begin doing to support your metabolism instead of fighting against it.

    Intermittent fasting has become one of the most popular strategies for weight loss and improving insulin resistance. And for many people, it can work at least initially.

    But many women eventually notice something shift. Energy drops, hormones feel off, sleep becomes disrupted, and weight loss may stall.

    In this episode, we’re breaking down why intermittent fasting can help improve insulin resistance, why the way many women practice it can create additional stress on the body, and how to approach fasting in a way that supports metabolism rather than working against it.

    You’ll learn how insulin, circadian rhythm, and stress hormones all interact and why timing meals appropriately can make a big difference for women.

  • 91. Feel Like Your Life is Running You After Kids? How to Take Back Control as a Mom Over 30

    Many moms don’t just struggle with fatigue, weight gain, or hormonal symptoms after having kids, they struggle with something deeper: feeling like they’ve lost control of their own life.

    You start the day already exhausted, react to whatever the day throws at you, grab quick food because you’re starving, crash in the afternoon, and by the end of the day you feel like you spent the entire day trying to keep up with life instead of directing it.

    In this episode, we’re talking about the hidden concept behind this experience: agency: the feeling that you are the one steering your life, rather than constantly reacting to exhaustion, cravings, stress, and overwhelm.

    When your metabolism, hormones, and nervous system are dysregulated, your biology begins to drive your behavior.

    The good news is that when your body becomes supported again, something powerful happens. Your energy stabilizes, your mood improves, and your body stops pushing you into survival mode. That’s when you start to experience something many moms are craving: the ability to choose how you show up in your life again.

    This episode explores how restoring your health doesn’t just help you lose weight or gain energy it helps you reclaim control, clarity, and direction in your daily life.

  • 89. The Missing Step That is Making Weight Loss After Kids Feel Impossible If You are Over 30

    LAST CALL to totally shift your hormones & lose weight consistently this winter :) Join me for my February workshop! Weight loss workshop for moms - 3 Ways to Lose Hormonal Weight & 3x Your Energy 😍

    After kids, so many moms feel like their body just stopped responding.

    You’re eating better. You’re trying to lose weight. You’re doing all the “right” things.

    But nothing works like it used to.

    In this episode, we’re talking about the missing step almost no one addresses after pregnancy and motherhood: mineral depletion.

    Pregnancy, breastfeeding, sleep deprivation, stress, and dieting all significantly drain key minerals that regulate metabolism, energy, thyroid function, and blood sugar.

    And when minerals are depleted, the body shifts into conservation mode making fat loss incredibly difficult, no matter how hard you try.

    This episode explains why this happens and how restoring minerals can finally make weight loss feel possible again.

    Clean Eating Isn’t the Same as Hormone-Supportive Eating

    You can eat organic, gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free… and still have dysregulated hormones.

    If you’re exhausted, dealing with PMS, weight loss resistance, bloating, or hair loss it’s not because you’re not “clean” enough.

    It’s because hormone health isn’t about restrictions and pushing harder.

    In this episode, I break down the simple (but powerful) nutrition foundations that actually support cortisol, thyroid, insulin, progesterone, and estrogen balance especially for busy moms who feel like they’re doing everything right but still feel off.

  • 87. 87. 3 Popular Weight Loss Supplements That Might Be Slowing Your Metabolism as A Mom

    Join me for my February workshop! Weight loss workshop for moms - 3 Ways to Lose Hormonal Weight & 3x Your Energy 😍

    Are your supplements actually helping your metabolism… or quietly working against it?

    In this episode, I break down three popular weight loss supplements I commonly see women using and what the research actually says about their side effects and risks.

    I don't want to spread fear, that isn't the point, but if you have been sold a promise that you haven't found the right supplement this is for you.

    This is really about how certain supplements can backfire instead of build metabolic resilience.

    If you feel like you’ve “tried everything” and weight loss still feels impossible, this episode will help you zoom out and look at the bigger picture.

    What We Cover
    • Why suppressing cortisol isn’t always the answer

    • The difference between lowering blood sugar and building metabolic health

    • Why stimulant-based fat burners can worsen long-term energy output

    • The research-backed side effects of common weight loss supplements

    • Why energy production, not adrenaline, drives sustainable fat loss
