Summary

It’s not “baby weight,” it’s “no-village weight.” Women gain weight after having kids because their overstimulated nervous systems are desperate for dopamine, so they turn to sugar and carbs to survive. Jen also talks about why you should stop trying to control your kids and start collaborating with them.
