77. Boost Milk Supply. The #1 Mistake Moms Make Breastfeeding
Stop Making This Milk Supply Mistake! 🍼
Struggling with low milk supply? Or maybe your supply goes up for a few days, then suddenly drops again? You’re not alone and you’re not broken.
In this episode, I’m sharing the #1 mistake moms make when trying to boost milk supply (and what to do instead). Most tips online only treat the symptom instead of fixing the real root cause.
I’ll walk you through how to:
✨ Identify why your milk supply is actually dipping
✨ Avoid common “quick fixes” that can make things worse
✨ Support your body with the right fuel and habits for steady supply
✨ Troubleshoot pumping pain, flange sizing, and nutrient gaps
✨ Build a supply that feels sustainable and stress-free
Even if you’re only producing a few ounces a day, it still matters. You can protect and rebuild your supply without burning out or giving up your sanity and favorite foods.
💛 Remember, your body isn’t broken. You just need the right plan for your unique situation.
👉 Listen until the end to learn the steps I use with my clients to increase milk supply and feel good again postpartum.

75. Should You Take Ozempic While Breastfeeding?
Thinking about trying Ozempic, Wegovy, or Monjaro? You’re not alone. In this episode, Brooke unpacks the pros, cons, and common misconceptions around semaglutide medications for postpartum moms. If you're navigating weight loss, breastfeeding, or just trying to feel like yourself again—this one’s a must-listen.
What to Listen For:
Why semaglutides like Ozempic are not safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding
The hormonal impact of semaglutides and why that matters for moms
What happens when you stop taking semaglutides without making lifestyle changes
Real talk on the side effects—nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and more
Why some moms regret weaning early just to lose weight
What blood sugar imbalance means and how to fix it without meds
When Brooke might recommend a semaglutide—and when she wouldn’t
The link between protein, blood sugar, and milk supply
How semaglutides may decrease milk supply by affecting prolactin and oxytocin
Why slow, sustainable weight loss preserves muscle (and feels better)
Semaglutides can seem like a quick fix—but for most postpartum or breastfeeding moms, they’re more risk than reward. Brooke encourages moms to first nourish their bodies with real food, movement, and sustainable changes. Medications may have a time and place, but not at the expense of your hormones, energy, or milk supply.
