There is an epidemic that is going on. It is estimated that one out of every two mothers are affected by it. No one is talking about it, but a lot of women feel it. Intense fatigue, emotional fluctuations, memory issues, hormonal and other health complications, which for some, can be debilitating and even life threatening. It’s called Postnatal Depletion, being depleted after having a baby and can extend from the first days of birth to more than ten years later, possibly predisposing the mother to later health complications.

There is a different reality after giving birth than what is presented to us. All women don’t just snap back into shape after having a baby and if they don’t feel good, it’s postpartum depression. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Danett Bean (Doctor of Acupuncture & Asian Medicine), preventive care, women’s health specialist, integrative medicine practitioner and survivor of postnatal depletion uncovers the roots to this phenomena as a societal issue and offers practical solutions to preventing and ending this condition.
