Description

The placenta is the organ that protects, feeds, & nourishes your baby before they are born. After the birth of the baby, the placenta is born and usually examined, then discarded. BUT many moms are choosing to keep their placenta & encapsulate it (or hire someone to put it in pill-form) so they can consume it in the postpartum period. Today, I talk with Lisa VanDyne, the St. Louis Placenta Lady & long-time placenta encapsulator, about the placenta & the benefits of consuming it!

• What is encapsulation?
• Benefits include like mood & hormone regulation, vitamins & minerals, regulating milk supply and more.
• There is traditional wisdom in consuming the placenta & most mammals consume their placenta.
• Personal experiences about how AMAZING placentas & encapsulation are!!
