## Resource

Can intuitive eating and weight loss exist at the same time… especially after having kids? In this episode of Nutrition for Mamas, postpartum dietitian Brooke Miller talks with board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Stefanie Reinald about the real, nuanced middle ground between intuitive eating and wanting to lose weight as a mom. If you’ve ever felt: • Guilty for wanting your jeans to fit again• Confused by anti-diet culture• Uncomfortable in your postpartum body• Afraid to track food but unsure what your body needs• Told you must “accept your body” even when you don’t feel healthy This conversation is for you. We discuss:• What intuitive eating actually gets right• Where intuitive eating can miss the mark for moms• Why wanting weight loss is not automatically unhealthy• How nourishing your body can naturally support fat loss• Protein and fiber needs for postpartum moms• Hormones, set-point weight, and metabolism after pregnancy• When tracking food helps vs when it hurts• Why the scale is neutral (but not always helpful)• GLP-1 medications and modern weight culture• How to feel more comfortable in your body today• Healthy motivation vs punishment mindset Dr. Reinald shares clinical insight from working with women with eating disorders, postpartum mental health struggles, and hormone imbalances, along with her personal experience as a mom of four.
