1. Postpartum Pressure

Dyer didn’t put any pressure on herself to lose weight quickly after having son Santiago in January 2021. "It took me a year to be where I wanted to be... but honestly do not put any pressure on yourself as everyone is so different,” she says. "I cut out a lot of snacks I used to crave, but everything in moderation as I love my chocolate."
2. Inner Confidence

Dyer says motherhood gave her an inner confidence she never had before. "I’ve definitely learned that I am a lot stronger than I thought I was,” she says. “At the beginning, I really did doubt myself being a mum, but now I've definitely changed and grown as a person… I remember sitting there thinking, 'I don't know how I'm gonna do this?' 'How am I gonna look after this baby?'"
3. Coconut Oil

Dyer says she smothers herself in coconut oil to keep her skin healthy and prevent stretch marks. “The main reason many people reach for coconut oil is because of its moisturizing power,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “About 65% of coconut oil’s composition is medium-chain fatty acids, and they’re partially the reason why coconut oil is beneficial to your skin.”
4. Healthy Breakfast

Dyer enjoys poached eggs, tomatoes, and mushrooms as a filling and nutritious breakfast. “Research shows that shiitake mushrooms, in particular, help to keep cholesterol levels low,” says UCLA Health. “They contain compounds that inhibit the production of cholesterol, block cholesterol from being absorbed and lower the overall amount of cholesterol in your blood.”
5. Supporting Mental Health
Dyer believes it’s important to speak about mental health issues after having a baby. "I think being a mum can sometimes be really lonely, and it is important to speak out and share that," she says. "You want to talk to other mums, you want to know how they're getting on and just having that positive support around you is so important. You sometimes need to offload and go, 'You know what? I’ve been up all night. Have you got any tips? Is there anything I can do?'"
