This episode explains why nutrition—rather than restrictive dieting alone—is essential to heal diastasis recti and reduce constant bloating. It emphasizes fueling the body with balanced portions of protein, carbs, healthy fats, fruits, vegetables, and seeds instead of crash diets.

Key nutrients discussed include magnesium, zinc, omega‑3, vitamin C and B vitamins for tissue repair, reduced inflammation, and muscle recovery. The host covers food sources, portion sizing, food quality, hydration needs (especially for breastfeeding moms), and the limits of supplements or quick fixes.

Practical tips: eat a varied, whole‑food diet, prioritize nutrient‑dense choices (seeds, leafy greens, fish, eggs, lean meats), stay well hydrated, and combine proper nutrition with breathing and core work—starting with the host's 360 breathing routine.

In this episode Becky Choi explains why waiting to heal diastasis recti isn’t neutral — it creates physical compensation, mental drain, emotional disconnection and mounting financial and opportunity costs. She shares her own experience, the common myths moms tell themselves, and why small, guided, consistent steps beat scattered quick fixes.

This is an invitation to stop accepting discomfort as ‘normal,’ choose proven support, and start rebuilding strength and confidence now so you don’t pay more later.

Becky Choy walks through the four stages of healing diastasis recti — early postpartum (0–3 months), foundational strength, strength and control, and full functional recovery — and explains practical steps like 360° breathing, posture awareness, gentle movement, progressive strengthening, and pressure control.

The episode gives a realistic timeline (roughly 4–12 months), what to expect at each stage, and encouragement that it’s never too late to rebuild core function even if skin and fascia take longer to change.
