Nutrition is Fuel, Not an Afterthought: Reclaiming the Mother’s Body

In this episode of *The Postpartum Standard*, Toni Toomey sits down with *Anayka Reilly*, founder of Meal Prep with Nikee, certified nutrition coach, and former chef, to talk about the realities of motherhood across three very different postpartum journeys. Anayka shares what it was like becoming a mother at 20, navigating a premature birth and NICU stay, receiving a life-altering neurological diagnosis after pregnancy, and learning how each child brings a completely different postpartum experience. Together, Toni and Anayka explore perinatal mental health, postpartum identity shifts, C-section recovery, and the mental load moms carry when it comes to feeding themselves and their families. The conversation goes deep into practical, real-life tools, from meal prepping as self-care, macro basics without obsession, and breaking the all-or-nothing mindset, to planning schedules with a partner, reclaiming hobbies as a mom, and building routines that actually work in busy households. If you’re in the thick of postpartum life, feeling stretched thin, or trying to care for your body without adding more pressure, this episode is an honest, grounding reminder that nourishment, planning, and grace go a long way, and that you don’t have to lose yourself to be a great mother.
