Breastfeeding benefits after Placenta Encapsulation 💜
Some of the hormones and proteins produced by the placenta and the benefits associated with consuming them include: Thyroid stimulating hormone, which regulates the thyroid gland, boosts energy and increases recovery from stress. Prolactin, which increases lactation, and thus a nursing mother's milk supply.

After a gentle rinse and steam, your placenta is cut into thin strips
(much like beef jerky) and then dehydrated anywhere from 8-12 hours at 160°
Once finished it's ground into a fine powder and placed into your capsules.

This mommy requested a pink print of her placenta. So simple but yet one of my favorite colors to choose from.
Your placenta is such an important organ that has connected mother and baby for such a long time. Please check out your placenta after birth and marvel at the work it has done. The tree of life!

I hope everyone had a great mother's day and to those of you that struggle through this day every year... it's ok to feel however you're feeling! 🥲😔🥹
You're not alone 💜 I've been there too.

I was able to spend the day with this incredibly kind-hearted daughter of mine. It is super rewarding to have her as a business partner. She is one creative soul! Most of the placenta prints are done by her skillful paintbrush 🖌️ movements.

Your labour and birth can be unpredictable, but your postpartum doesnt have to be.

Prepare your oxytocin filled environment, and relax into those slow days getting to know your newborn.

Add in your Placenta capsules and lots of skin to skin for the ultimate oxytocin high that will last for weeks 💜

I can't stress how important it is to take care of yourself after birth. So often we focus on all the 'things' we need for baby, when in reality all baby really needs is a happy, healthy mama with a good milk supply!

A new study published in a special issue of the journal iScience links low doses of antibiotics around birth to significant changes in the infant microbiome. But not just that, neurological concerns as well! 🧠

“This research, “Effects of Early-Life Penicillin Exposure on the Gut Microbiome and Front Cortex and Amygdala Gene Expression,” may help explain the disturbing rise in neurodevelopmental disorders that we’re seeing in children in the United States and other industrialized countries around the world.”

In other words, due to antibiotic exposure, “the gut-brain axis is perturbed leading to organizational effects that permanently alter the structure and function of the brain,” according to the scientists.🤯

None of this is new to us practicing integrative and functional medicine, but I am glad to see it circulating for others to see.

1/3 of babies receive antibiotics before, during or after delivery in our country! 1/3‼️ Their microbiome is set up poorly from the start and there is no follow up to fix it. And even worse, antibiotics account for 80% of the medication that women consume during pregnancy; again altering the microbiome (prophylactic antibiotics included).
