191. Placenta Encapsulation: What Moms Need to Know (with Samantha Davis)

At one of my appointments, my OB told me placenta encapsulation wasn't "scientifically proven." Not long after that, I saw her share something on her social media page that felt very...dismissive. And I remember thinking, there has to be more to this conversation. Because I know thoughtful, intentional moms who are considering placenta encapsulation. And there are women who have already made this choice and don't feel silly or naive about it. So today we're opening up a conversation that feels more honest, a little more nuanced...and a lot more respectful. My guest today is Samantha Davis, the CEO of NuHeath Placenta, Inc.
