Should You Diet While Pregnant? (Thoughts from a Pregnancy Chiropractor)
In this episode, Dr. Brandie gets real about one of the most sensitive and confusing parts of pregnancy: weight gain. She opens up about her own experiences, the emotional layers behind weight changes, and why so many women struggle with unrealistic expectations during pregnancy.
She also shares compassionate, practical guidance to help you reframe how you see your changing body—without dieting, shame, or pressure to “bounce back.”
