Placenta Consumption is Useful, Healthy, and Safe...Wait, What? | Shannon Shepherd

In today’s episode we interview Shannon Shepherd, a doula and placenta encapsulation specialist with Bloom Women’s Center (https://www.bloombirthutah.com/). We define placenta encapsulation and consumption and clear up myths and misconceptions about it. We talk about the benefits of placenta consumption, as well as safe practice for doing so. We talk about GBS (Group B Strep) and debunk the myths surrounding potential harm placenta encapsulation may cause to your breastfeeding child. We also discuss how we can make it a more comfortable subject, and how Bloom’s high safety and professional standard is meant to help with that. We go over some of the different ways placentas are consumed, and we talk about Bloom’s method and their dosage guidelines, as well as the price of their service. -What is Placenta Encapsulation?; Shannon’s Background; Benefits/Safety 1:17 -Debunking Myths Around GBS and Harm Towards Breastfeeding Children 18:13 -Opening Up The Dialogue; Bloom’s High Professional Standard 21:53 -Different Ways To Consume; Dosage Guidelines; Myths; Benefits 29:56 “We’ve had these conversations with women who are talking about their postpartum time as a nightmare; as the lowest point in their lives. I -- in my business, how many postpartum women I interact with -- I hear that almost daily. Something like that. It’s just a nightmare. So to think something like this is helping any of them, then it’s like, ‘okay, hold on, let’s just try it.’” 22:21 https://www.bloombirthutah.com/
