SHOW NOTES
In the latest episode of the Healthy Living Doesn’t Have to SUCK podcast, Melyssa welcomes back registered dietitian Nicole Hoskins to discuss her updated career and life chapters, including corporate wellness, social media recipe creation, and becoming a first-time mom. Nicole shares her “protein + fiber” approach to accessible, budget-conscious recipes, noting most Americans fall short of fiber recommendations. She describes how pregnancy affected her appetite and cravings, how she honored cravings while prioritizing gentle nutrition, and how movement supported her mental health during body changes. Nicole also covers postpartum realities like limited time, contact naps, and the importance of partner and family support, including planning responsibilities in advance. She outlines preconception habits, prenatal considerations, snack and meal-planning tips, and her blended approach to feeding her son using purees, baby-led options, and resources like Solid Starts.
