#89 - Body Kindness in Postpartum Women: Body Image, Postpartum Depression, and Disordered Eating with Lindsay Stenovec, Creator of The Nurtured Mama

Women who are pregnant or postpartum should not be dieting and
yet, many women do, thanks to diet culture and weight stigma. In
this episode, I chat with Lindsay Stenovec, certified eating
disorder dietitian about the pressures women face to “get their
pre-baby body back.”


We share personal experiences with postpartum depression and
weight stigma during pregnancy as well as research that shows 93%
of women who engage in disordered eating and dieting behaviors
are not screened for eating disorder symptoms.
