@holisticnursemom: Postpartum weight loss isn’t just about calories in versus calories out—it’s primarily driven by your shifting hormones. 🧠✨ If you’re breastfeeding, your body is producing high levels of prolactin to keep your milk supply strong. Prolactin naturally encourages your body to hold onto energy stores for safety. When you layer on broken sleep and high-intensity workouts, your cortisol spikes—signaling your nervous system to hold onto stored fat even tighter. When I lost 60 lbs postpartum while nursing, I stopped fighting my biology and started working with it. Here’s how: 1️⃣ Swapped HIIT workouts for low-stress movement (walking, strength training, and pilates) 2️⃣ Kept my nervous system in a parasympathetic state as best as I could 3️⃣ Prioritized whole-food protein and deep hydration Your body isn’t broken or resisting you—it’s just trying to protect both you and your baby 🤍 Send this to a mom friend who needs permission to slow down, and follow along as we navigate the ins and outs of postpartum recovery together 🫂 #postpartumweightloss #breastfeedingmom #postpartumhormones #cortisol #nursingmom
