43. Cringey Postpartum Trends That Need To Go
Postpartum is hard enough without social media telling you to restrict your calories, bounce back fast, or “fix” your Diastasis Recti with a few magic moves. In this episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, Meg and Caitlin unpack two of the most damaging postpartum trends—and offer a more compassionate, evidence-based approach to healing and rebuilding after birth.
We talk about:
- Why fad dieting while breastfeeding can harm recovery, energy, and milk supply
- What your body actually needs in the postpartum period: protein, carbs, fats, hydration, and rest
- Why “3 exercises to close your DR” is misleading—and what to do instead
- The difference between core aesthetics and core function
- How long-term healing requires full-body strength and patience, not pressure
Whether you’re newly postpartum or still navigating recovery months (or years) later, this episode will help you tune out the noise and focus on what actually matters.
