Wouldn’t you want to learn about postpartum weight loss from an expert in weight management? Well you are in luck because that’s exactly who we have in today’s episode. Dr. Katy Brown is a board certified endocrinologist and obesity medicine specialist and she is also a new mom!

I really like her approach because it comes from a place of gratitude rather than judgment. There’s no pressure to start early or lose quickly. Instead, it’s all about baby steps. Have patience with yourself and focus on what you’re already doing well. Your body just did something amazing!

-Why postpartum weight management is important

-Why BMI is not a perfect tool for measuring health

-When you should start thinking about losing weight after giving birth - the answer may surprise you

-How much breastfeeding really impacts weight loss

-How many pounds you should realistically be losing per week

-How often it’s helpful to weigh yourself

-Who should seek the help of a care provider like Kate and what to expect
