12. How Your Nervous System Impacts Postpartum Weight & Health with Eliza Kingsford, MA, LPC

Why should you care about your nervous system?

Are you doing everything right when it comes to nutrition and exercise, but still struggling to lose weight postpartum? The missing piece might not be your metabolism—it could be your nervous system regulation. In this episode, I sit down with Eliza Kingsford, a licensed psychotherapist, to talk about how your nervous system impacts weight, stress, and long-term health. Learn why being in fight or flight makes it harder to reach your goals and how to regulate your system—even as a sleep-deprived mom!

Today we dig into:

If you’re struggling with postpartum weight loss, it might not be your diet or exercise routine—it could be your nervous system. Learning how to regulate your stress response changes everything, from the food choices you make to how your body processes stress.
