“When I first shared that I have been drinking a placenta smoothie I got so many messages like what? But if you actually do the research we are the only mammals on Earth that do not drink our placenta. Every mammal that gives birth- the mother eats their placenta. My mother in law cut the placenta into pieces, Reza has been putting the rock cubes along with a bunch of other stuffs so that I can taste it for the first seven days of postpartum.”
