Summary

This episode is pretty raw for me. It is not an easy thing for me to talk about, but I think it is an extremely important topic. It deeply saddens me to see so many women consumed by shrinking. I want to change that and I think sharing my story can help a lot of women. Today I share: How much I weighed before, during and after pregnancy Why the scale is lame and meaningless The medical issues that can interfere with weight loss How to find comfort in the skin you’re in If you exercise consistently and make healthy food choices and struggle to lose weight, here are some tests you can ask your doctor or naturopath about: *general blood work (including Vit D, Iron, Iron stores, B vitamins) *thyroid panel (can be done with general blood work) *fasting blood glucose series (this is multiple draws before/after sugary drink - this might only be relevant if you have a fam history of diabetes, but worth asking about) *adrenal testing (spit test?) *sleep study (only necessary if sleep apnea might be a concern - do you snore?) *sleep consult (only necessary if you're routinely getting less than 7 hours of sleep) *food sensitivity testing (can be done via blood draw) I have found naturopaths are excellent at spending a lot of time really diving in and closely looking at this information, more than MDs. Most naturopaths will book a 90-minute intake appointment, which is really necessary to dig deep into your concerns. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	Welcome to the Shameless Mom Academy. I'm your host, Sarah Dean, and I'm here to give you and other passionate, dedicated moms the tools you need to bridge the gap between motherhood and living the life of your dreams. I'm also here to help you be a little more shameless every day. Because if you aren't building a life,
0:20.9	you're extraordinarily proud of. What kind of legacy are you building? So let's dive in.
0:26.5	So before we get started today, I'm super pumped to read a little review. I'm going to start showcasing
0:31.5	some of our reviews because they actually are a little preview for people who are first time
0:35.1	listeners of the show. It gives you a little preview into like what to expect in someone else's words other than my own because like I could totally
0:41.3	sit here and brag about myself, but it's more cool if I have someone else bragging, right? So
0:45.4	I'm going to read this review. This was actually a review I got in March and it was from someone
0:52.0	who I don't know. So initially when I started getting reviews,
0:54.6	it was all from people who were like friends and family that I begged for reviews. And the cool
0:59.0	thing is that after a while, I started getting reviews from people I didn't know. And those
1:02.4	have been really fun and exciting because it really helps me know that I am making a true and
1:06.9	strong impression. So I have to thank Ramey Bachman, who also, in addition to her review, sent me
1:12.9	a hysterical email. So thank you, Ramey. Big love for you out there, Mama. So her review says,
1:19.1	the second most cathartic experience I have ever had since motherhood began 3.5 years ago is this
1:25.7	podcast. Sarah rocks it. She is real. She knows it and
1:28.7	she embraces the messiness that is real life. I can so identify with her and with the other two
1:34.0	amazing women she has interviewed so far. This podcast is like curling up with a good book,
1:39.1	a glass, no, a bottle of wine and the sister from another mister you just found out existed. Do yourself
1:46.3	a favor and binge on this amazing woman and her enthusiasm for the realities of life. The Shameless
1:51.6	Mom Academy is the second most cathartic experience I've had since beginning motherhood 3.5 years
1:57.1	ago. Sarah rocks it. She is real. She owns it and she embraces the messiness that is real
2:01.6	life. I can so identify with her and with the two amazing women she has interviewed thus far.
