LAURA LIGOS -Postpartum Nutrition Made Simple
In this episode, I sit down with Laura Ligos, a registered dietitian who believes in a food-first approach to health. Laura focuses on optimizing the wellness of active women by helping them build a healthier relationship with food—without falling into restrictive diet traps. She founded her private practice, The Sassy Dietitian, to serve as a credible resource for those seeking sustainable health changes. She’s also the cofounder of Unconventional Collaborative, a virtual mastermind for health practitioners, trainers, and coaches to collaborate on tough cases and elevate their practices. If you’ve ever struggled with food guilt, diet culture, or finding balance with nutrition, this episode is packed with practical insights and expert advice.
We Talk About:
-Breaking generational habits around food
-Fixing your relationship with food
-Letting go of the “get your body back” mentality postpartum
-Why weight doesn’t equal health
-Focusing on progress over perfection
-Getting kids involved in food choices
-Low stomach acid and its impact
