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

Minerals & Metabolism LIVE course :) Get on the waitlist! Join my FREE private FB Hormone Health for Moms community Here Intermittent fasting has become one of the most popular strategies for weight loss and improving insulin resistance.

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 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 😍 https://functionalmom.myflodesk.com/eci35kxxvy 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.

Join me for my February workshop!

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 Join me for 1:1 coaching -->https://functionalmom.com/work-with-me Discover the 7 blood sugar mistakes you are making causing hormone chaos Contact - > [email protected] Instagram ->@functional_mom This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for medical advice.

74. From Postpartum Depression & Prediabetes to a Mom Who Finally Feels Good - Interview with Sara
Join my FREE Energy Reset Challenge 12/9/25 https://functionalmom.myflodesk.com/y7yq9emn33 Book you FREE symptom audit call to determine YOUR root cause! In today’s episode, I’m sitting down with one of my current clients whose transformation is nothing short of incredible. Before she first came to me, she was pre-diabetic, dealing with postpartum depression, getting shaky between meals, and didn’t feel like herself at all. She told me she felt like her body was working against her. Today… she describes herself as the happiest she’s ever been with stable moods, balanced blood sugar, consistent energy, and a lightness she thought she’d never feel again. We talk about: What it felt like to be doing everything “right” and still feeling awful The moment she realized her blood sugar and metabolism were driving her symptoms The simple shifts that made the biggest difference How opening drainage, stabilizing blood sugar, and supporting minerals changed her mood What surprised her most on her journey How motherhood feels now that her body is finally supporting her again Her advice for any mom who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or dismissed by doctors This conversation is such a beautiful reminder that your mood isn’t “just your hormones” and it’s definitely not “just postpartum.” Your body is trying to get your attention and when you support the root causes, everything shifts. So many moms are told: “You’re just tired.” “It’s normal after having a baby.” “It’ll pass.” “Just eat cleaner.” And meanwhile… blood sugar is unstable minerals are depleted inflammation is high the gut is struggling circadian rhythm is off mitochondria are drained And you’re left feeling like you’re failing when your body is the one that needs support. This episode gives you a real-life, honest look at what happens when you finally address the root cause especially when you’re postpartum and trying to hold everything together.
