64 | Postpartum Food Cravings Explained: What Your Body is Really Telling You
Do you find yourself craving chocolate at night or salty snacks in the afternoon—and wondering if it’s just lack of willpower? Here’s the truth: cravings are not failures, they’re signals.
In this episode of the Strong & Nourished Momma Podcast, I break down the science behind postpartum food cravings and what they’re really telling you about your body. From blood sugar swings and nutrient deficiencies to sleep deprivation and stress, cravings are often your body’s way of asking for support—not a reason to feel guilty.
You’ll learn why cravings for sweets and carbs often mean you didn’t eat enough during the day, how nutrient gaps like low magnesium or iron can drive specific cravings, and why sleep and stress management play a huge role in hunger hormones. Plus, I’ll share practical ways to respond so you feel satisfied and energized without restriction.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
The real reasons moms crave sweets, carbs, and salty foods
The role of blood sugar, nutrients, and hormones in cravings
How sleep deprivation changes hunger hormones
Practical swaps and strategies for managing cravings guilt-free
