Your six-week postpartum checkup is often seen as the finish line for recovery, but let’s be real: does a quick chat about birth control and a number on the scale really reflect how you’re doing? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what postpartum healing actually looks like beyond that standard appointment. We’re talking about how to nourish your hormones, protect your metabolism, and stop letting the scale define your progress. Because thriving postpartum isn’t about shrinking your body, it’s about replenishing it. 💪✨ You’ll hear my personal experience with postpartum checkups (including how triggering the scale was), what I focused on those first few months, and how my approach shifted after each of my babies. Let this episode be your reminder: healing is not a one-size-fits-all process and your body deserves more than just a weigh-in. 🔍 Sneak Peek Inside the Episode: [1:02] I share about my 6-week postpartum checkup, birth control, getting weighed [4:21] My focus for the first two months postpartum [9:25] What to do after the first two months? [12:41] My second and third postpartum experience [14:00] We have a belief about what it means to get down to our pre-baby body and how you talk to your body about it Your six-week appointment doesn’t define your healing. Tune in for encouragement and practical strategies to support your hormones, mood, metabolism, and mindset—because you deserve to feel good in your body 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? Save your seat in this FREE training with my dietitian bestie & picky eating expert: https://nutritionforlittles.com/freetraining-aff/?ref=brooke57 Get a 7 day free trial & save 15% off the yearly subscription of the Expecting & Empowered Workout App!
