Three weeks after welcoming baby Reign Aston, the transition to life as a busy mom-of-three seems to be going fairly smoothly for reality star Kourtney Kardashian. So what's her secret? Is it a full-time nanny? A personal meditation guru? An on-demand chef? According to Kourtney's latest Instagram post, her 'life changing' post-baby solution is a lot simpler than that.
It's placenta pills.
The 35-year-old, who is also mom to 5-year-old Mason and 2-year-old Penelope, posted a photo of the pills to Instagram, along with the caption, "Yummy...PLACENTA pills! No joke...I will be sad when my placenta pills run out. They are life changing! #benefits #lookitup."
Interestingly, Kourtney isn't the only famous mama to tote the benefits of placenta ingestion this week. Putting in a red carpet appearance at the Girls premiere on Monday night, actress Gaby Hoffmann said that placenta smoothies were key to her post-baby recovery, too.
“Placenta, placenta, placenta. Just eat that sh*t up, and it does a girl good!” Gaby, who welcomed daughter Rosemary in November, told PEOPLE. “I made smoothies out of it for three weeks. I had a home birth, so my midwife and my doula took it and cut it up into 20 pieces and froze it, and every day, I put it in a blender with strawberries and blueberries and guava juice and a banana, and I drank that sh*t up.”
Now, placenta pills are one thing - having suffered a pretty traumatic postpartum period, I really wish I had given encapsulation a try. Smoothies, though? Or stews or tacos? I'm not sure if I'm ready for that. Gaby insists there's really no "ick" factor, though: “You don’t taste [it],” she says.
What do you think? Would you be interested in placenta pills? How about smoothies, soups or other edibles?
Gross or a Godsend? These celebs have shared their thoughts on the placenta, too:
