EBB 234 - Tackling Fatphobia in Lactation with Kristin Cavuto

Last time we talked with Kristin on the podcast, she briefly mentioned a condition called "insulin resistance" that could cause low milk production.  This was new to us!  We wanted to learn more, and thought you would, too.  On this week's podcast episode we ask Kristin a ton of tough questions about IR. It is a pretty complex topic, with still so many unknowns, but Kristin does an amazing job breaking it down for us.  Once again, we are so thankful for Kristin's lactation expertise, as well as her caring, sensitive approach to new families.
