Description

While postpartum depression has become a recognisable condition, THE POSTNATAL DEPLETION CURE is the first book to treat root causes of the baby blues, extreme fatigue, baby brain and other symptoms that leave mothers feeling exhausted. 'This is the comprehensive guide to health for every mother - new, or years out - who has ever felt tired, rundown, or just not like herself.'- Gwyneth Paltrow 'The Postnatal Depletion Cure is a groundbreaking perspective on women's health, which offers hope and practical information in equal measure for mothers who are beyond exhausted... I would recommend Dr Serrallach's book to all mothers.' - Penelope Cruz Any women who has read What to Expect When You're Expecting needs a copy of THE POSTNATAL DEPLETION CURE. Filled with trustworthy advice, protocols for successful recovery, and written by a compassionate expert in women's health, this book is a guide to help any mother restore her energy, replenish her body and reclaim her sense of self. Most mothers have experienced pain, forgetfulness, indecision, low energy levels, or some form of baby brain. And it's no wonder: the process of growing a baby depletes a mother's body in substantial ways. But with postnatal care ending after six weeks, most women never learn how to rebuild their strength and care for their bodies after childbirth. As a result, they can suffer from the effects of depletion for many years, without knowing what's wrong as well as getting the support and treatments that they need. 'Prepare to be educated, enlightened and supported in your physical and emotional well-being, to be able to fully experience the joy and fulfilment of motherhood.' Dr. Libby Weaver, nutritional biochemist and author of DR LIBBY'S WOMEN'S WELLNESS WISDOM and ACCIDENTALLY OVERWEIGHT?

Dr Oscar Serrallach, MBChB FRACGP, is a dedicated practitioner in the field of maternal care. After training at Auckland Medical School he explored emergency medicine, psychiatry, Aboriginal men's health, addiction, nutritional medicine, herbalism and home birth, before setting up his groundbreaking health clinic near Byron Bay in New South Wales. Since 2010, Oscar has dedicated his work to the condition that he has identified as postnatal depletion. He has been championing the cause ever since, using the latest science in postnatal care, as well as traditional and integrative medicine, to provide hope and innovative advice for mothers who are feeling depleted months or years after childbirth. Oscar's initial studies in this field coincided with starting a family, which led him to consider the science through the particular lens of pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period, observing his own partner and many other mothers through his clinical work. Oscar's firmly held belief is that there is nothing more important than the health and well-being of mothers - when mothers are happy, healthy and rested, our families benefit, our communities benefit and society benefits. Oscar lives in Australia with his wife and three children. THE POSTNATAL DEPLETION CURE is his first book. Visit oscarserrallach.com

It shouldn't be this way, nor does it have to be: this is the comprehensive guide to women's health for every mother - new, or years out - who has ever felt tired, rundown, or just not like herself.

It can wreak havoc on your energy, your body, and even your concentration. Women need to practise self-care more than ever before, yet have less time than ever before. With great compassion and creativity, Dr. Serrallach proposes an answer - we can make little changes to our sleep habits, our eating habits, the way we talk to our loved ones, and to our expectations for ourselves, to protect and fortify ourselves every day. - Dawn Dais, author of THE SH!T NO ONE TELLS YOU: A GUIDE TO SURVIVING YOUR BABY S FIRST YEAR The best programs and solutions for health issues are born of doctors who want to help themselves or their loved ones. That is how Dr. Serrallach arrived at his understanding of postnatal depletion, and what makes this book so helpful to women with the same issue, which is a world epidemic.
