Thanks for your post! Have you been evaluated with one of our physicians? They are the go-to source for helping to hone in on what medications are best for your individual brain, and in addition, what supplements may reduce your need for medication, or which will support the medication to work more efficiently.

For overall fat reduction, follow the brain healthy eating guidance on “Feed My Brain” where you will see an emphasis on real, whole foods that nourish our body and brain more optimally. The ‘side effect’ of reducing or eliminating processed foods high in sugar, poor quality fats, and hormones/additives is getting rid of excess weight and moderating our cycles overall: hunger, sleep, energy, mood, motivation, etc. 

Key tips: be sure you are getting adequate protein (eggs, poultry, wild fish, lentils, etc.) and a healthy fat (avocado, olive oil, nuts, seeds, etc.) at every meal. In addition, add vegetables whenever you can throughout the day, and drink plenty of water. In other words, focus on what you want to have in abundance, so the things you are trying to avoid (sugar, white flour, unhealthy fats, processed foods), will naturally be reduced.

For the diastasis recti, I would highly recommend trying a program like Mutusystem.com for specific exercises to help, or work with a physical therapist/trainer who specializes in working with women postpartum.

Hope this helps!
