Do you eat “perfectly” all day… then lose control at night?

You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. And this is not a willpower problem.

In this video, registered dietitian, lactation counselor, and mom of three Brooke Miller explains why nighttime cravings hit so hard for moms and exactly how to stop the cycle without restriction, guilt, or extreme dieting.

If you find yourself:

• Raiding the pantry after the kids go to bed • Thinking about food even when you’re not hungry • Feeling out of control at night • Overeating on weekends after being “good” all week • Using food to cope with exhaustion or stress • Waking up guilty the next morning

This episode will help you understand what’s actually going on in your body and brain.

You’ll learn:

• Why cravings are delayed until nighttime • How under-eating protein and fiber fuels night eating • The link between stress, cortisol, and cravings • How sleep affects hunger hormones (leptin & ghrelin) • Why emotional eating increases at night • What to eat earlier in the day to prevent night snacking • How to build a balanced evening snack • Blood sugar friendly snack ideas before bed • Healthier ways to decompress without using food • How to stop nighttime overeating without cutting foods out

Brooke also shares realistic strategies for busy moms, including how to plan snacks, reduce stress eating, and feel more in control around food even in the most exhausting seasons of motherhood.

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.

Are you a mom who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, and mentally drained… even when your baby is sleeping?

You are not lazy. You are not broken. And this is not “just motherhood.”

In this episode of Nutrition for Mamas, postpartum dietitian and lactation counselor Brooke Miller interviews board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Stefanie Reinald to unpack what burnout in motherhood really looks like, how it differs from postpartum depression and anxiety, and why so many moms feel depleted years after having a baby.

We cover: • Signs of mom burnout vs postpartum depression • Why nutrient depletion after pregnancy makes exhaustion worse • Hormone shifts after birth that impact mood, focus, and energy • Iron deficiency, vitamin D, and under-eating postpartum • Why ADHD is often diagnosed after motherhood • The mental load of modern moms • Working moms vs stay at home moms and burnout risk • Why “pushing harder” makes things worse • Simple ways to feel like yourself again without optimizing your life to death

Dr. Reinald shares clinical insight from working with thousands of women plus her own experience as a mom of four navigating postpartum mental health, career pressure, and identity loss.

If you’ve ever thought:

“I shouldn’t feel this tired.” “I used to handle more than this.” “I love my kids but I feel empty.”

This episode will change how you see your body, brain, and season of life.
