Frequently Asked Questions
What if I’m not breastfeeding? Is this program still relevant to me?
Absolutely! This program is designed to support all postpartum women — whether you're breastfeeding, formula-feeding, or a mix of both. While some recommendations adjust slightly for breastfeeding mums (e.g., increased calorie and protein needs), the core principles of nourishment, healing, and sustainable habits apply to every mother in the postpartum period.
Can I follow this program if I had a C-section?
Yes — and in fact, it’s highly recommended. Post-Caesarean recovery can involve more inflammation, tissue healing, and fatigue. The program provides information on foods that support healing and key nutrients that are especially important for physical healing (like iron and protein intake). Always check with your healthcare provider before resuming exercise or reducing calories.
What if I’m vegetarian or gluten-free?
The program includes flexible meal suggestions and protein options suitable for vegetarians and gluten-free diets. You’ll find plant-based proteins like lentils, tofu, quinoa, and eggs featured regularly. Gluten-free grain swaps like rice, oats, and buckwheat are also incorporated. Need more support? You can book a 1:1 consult for a personalised plan.
Will this help me lose weight after birth?
This program is focused first and foremost on healing, nourishment, and energy. In Week 5, we introduce gentle sustainable fat loss strategies for those who are ready — without sacrificing your milk supply or well-being. The emphasis is always on feeling better in your body, not restriction or “bouncing back.”
Can I do this program if I have thyroid issues or PCOS?
Yes, but with individual considerations. The nutrition principles in this program — balanced blood sugar, anti-inflammatory foods, protein support — are beneficial for hormone regulation and metabolism. However, if you’ve been diagnosed with a thyroid condition or PCOS, we recommend seeking advice from your doctor before signing up to the program.
​I have no time to cook or prep meals. Will this still help me?
Yes — this program was designed with tired, time-poor mums in mind. Each week includes quick meal ideas, batch cooking tips, and realistic snack options. You’ll also receive a printable meal planner and daily tracker to help simplify your routine. Nourishment doesn’t have to be perfect — just consistent and doable.
What if I have food intolerances (e.g., dairy, soy, eggs)?
Most of the recipes and meal suggestions are easily adaptable to your dietary needs. If you need more personalised support, you’re encouraged to book a 1:1 consult for help creating a plan that works for your body.
Do I need to count calories or track macros?
Not at all. While we provide general portion guides and macronutrient tips (like how much protein to aim for), this program is not about calorie counting. Instead, we focus on building balanced, satisfying meals using simple visual tools (like the hand method), mindful eating, and consistency over perfection.
​When should I start this program?
You can begin as early as 1–2 weeks postpartum, if you feel ready. Some of the content is focused on early postpartum. Although, most mums begin between 2–6 weeks after birth, you can start anytime in the first year postpartum. The sooner you start nourishing your body, the better!
Can I repeat the program or continue after the 6 weeks?
Absolutely! Many women repeat the program or carry forward key lessons into a longer-term routine. You’ll receive a final week focused on building sustainable habits, and you’re welcome to join ongoing coaching or request further support through a 1:1 consult.
