    112. Why Investing in Your Health Matters as a Mom

    You keep telling yourself… “I’ll focus on my health when life slows down.” I have a hard question to ask you. Has it actually slowed down? Because I know for me… life is only getting more chaotic.  This episode is your wake-up call. Because the truth is, taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s the thing that changes everything for you and your family.  What to Listen For Why your health is your longest-term investment (and why that matters more as a mom) The real reason you feel exhausted, irritable, and burnt out The lie moms are told about putting themselves last Why “waiting for the right time” is keeping you stuck How your energy and mood impact your entire family Why traditional diets and workout plans don’t work for busy moms Simple ways to take care of your health with limited time How small habits (10–15 minutes) can completely shift how you feel You don’t need more time, you need a better approach. Small, simple shifts can help you feel like yourself again… more energized, more patient, more you. If this hits home, share it with another mom who needs to hear it and don’t forget to follow. You deserve to feel good again. -------------------------------------------- 💛 Explore all programs and resources: https://linktr.ee/brooke.miller.nutrition Come say hi on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/nutrition.for.mamas/ Subscribe to Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BrookeMMiller Free Nutrition Workshops For Moms: https://www.busymommeals.com/free-workshops-for-moms Join Busy Mom Meals: High protein 15 minute or less meals: https://www.busymommeals.com/monthly  Browse my Supplement & Vitamin Recommendations here:  I’ve organized the vitamins and supplements I recommend most often (and personally take) into my dietitian-curated supplement store so it’s easy to find the exact brands I trust.

    107. How I lost 60# postpartum without losing my milk supply…

    What if postpartum weight loss didn’t require cutting carbs, tracking every bite, or sacrificing your milk supply? In this episode, I’m breaking down the 5 shifts that helped me lose 60 pounds postpartum,  sustainably. At six weeks postpartum, I wasn’t focused on weight. At six months, I still wasn’t focused on weight & hadn’t lost all the baby weight. I didn’t even own a scale. At one year? Everything shifted. Most of my postpartum weight loss happened between 9–18 months postpartum. Not in the first 9 months. And this was different than my others.  And that’s important. Your body is not on a deadline. Each postpartum experience is different from one another.  What to Listen For Why postpartum weight loss doesn’t have to a timeline How to take a break from the scale Why protein and fiber matter more than restriction The power of consistent meal timing How strength training supports metabolism Why blood sugar regulation is everything How to stop emotional eating at night Why supplements matter postpartum Why habits > outcome goals How to support your body instead of fighting it Postpartum weight loss is possible  without restriction, obsession, or losing your milk supply. Listen to the full episode, and if you’re ready for step-by-step guidance, grab the free training linked below. I’m cheering for you. You deserve to feel good again. 💛 -------------------------------------------------- Please rate, review and subscribe to the podcast! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 💛 Explore all programs and resources: https://linktr.ee/brooke.miller.nutrition Come say hi on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/nutrition.for.mamas/ Subscribe to Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@BrookeMMiller Free Workshop: How Busy Moms Reach Their Healthiest Weight Without Spending Hours in the Kitchen: https://www.busymommeals.com/cookingclassworkshopig Join Busy Mom Meals: High protein 15 minute or less meals: https://www.busymommeals.com/monthly  Is your toddler a picky eater?

    105. Dry January Turned Into More… My realizations around alcohol

    Have you ever wondered what would happen if you stopped drinking, even just for a month? In this episode, I’m sharing my honest experience with Dry January for moms, how it unexpectedly turned into 60+ days alcohol-free, and what I learned about sleep, weight loss, hormones, ADHD, and motherhood along the way. If you’ve ever used wine to unwind… struggled to lose weight… or questioned your relationship with alcohol, this conversation is for you. What to Listen For: Why alcohol was disrupting my sleep (and how better sleep boosted my energy almost instantly) The surprising connection between ADHD and alcohol consumption Why one night of drinking can impact your hormones and cravings the next day How alcohol affects leptin and ghrelin (your hunger and fullness hormones) The real impact of alcohol on weight loss and metabolism How alcohol can stall postpartum fitness and health goals What moms need to know about alcohol and breastfeeding How to approach Dry January for moms without extreme or all-or-nothing rules Dry January and taking a break from alcohol  for moms isn’t about restriction. It’s about awareness with your relationship with alcohol and when you use it.  If you’re feeling exhausted, stuck in your weight loss journey, struggling with cravings, or just not feeling like yourself… this episode will help you reflect on whether alcohol is helping or hurting your goals. If this resonated with you, share it with another mama. And if you’re ready to feel energized, balanced, and confident again after having kids, join my free workshop linked below.
