Kim Kardashian West Reveals She’s Taking Placenta Pills After They Staved Off

Her success could partly be down to her plans to consume her placenta in pill form, having taken them before following the birth of daughter North, two.

“So, I’m really not this holistic person or someone who would have ever considered eating my placenta”, the reality TV star wrote in her post titled “Eating My Placenta”.

“They take turns waking up and tending to the baby’s needs”.

As a mom of two 16 months apart (my youngest is 6 months), I thought about the whole placenta thing, but was turned off after I pushed it out… and saw it up close.

Just 10 days after giving birth to her son, Saint West, Kim revealed during a livestream on her mobile app with Caitlyn Jenner that she has already shed 17 pounds, but wants to lose another 53 to reach her goal weight. “I am feeling much better”, Kim replies. “I totally recommend it for anyone considering it”, she dished. She revealed the weight loss Monday during a live stream through her own website.

It won’t be the first placenta Kardashian has eaten.

The 35-year-old has not been spotted on Twitter and Instagram much in recent times as she settles down with her new baby.

Whilst the sound of it might gross some people out, it’s actually thought to help stop mothers from developing post natal depression by replenishing iron supplies and containing traces of hormones like oxytocin.

Kim chose to give placenta a shot after reading that eating it can ward off postpartum depression.

With a placenta diet and plenty of relaxation in her future, Kim should be doing just fine herself!

We can’t wait to see Kim back in action… and the first picture of baby Saint!

Several celebrities, such as reality star Kim Zolciak and actresses January Jones and Gaby Hoffman, have also opened up about eating their placentas after giving birth in recent years.

Kardashian may be enthusiastic about the practice, but some medical experts are hesitant to endorse it.
