Dr Oscar Serralach is a qualified family Doctor and G.P, author and an advocate for mother’s health. He is best known for his work on Post-Natal Depletion, which resonated with women so deeply and widely when it was posted on goop.com (Gwyneth Paltrow’s platform) that it crashed the site.

We cover;

• What Post-Natal Depletion is, and how it encompasses physical, emotional and mental well-being.

• Dr. Oscar’s journey to becoming aware of and then writing about Post-Natal Depletion, and the vital role noticing patterns in mothers around him played.

• How to know when to seek help post-pregnancy if noticing Post-Natal Depletion symptoms.

• How to recover if your time post-pregnancy isn’t ideal. Dr. Oscar explains the power of micro-napping, mindfulness and supplementing with herbs in recovery from any depletion.

• The concept of ‘Matresence’ or the transition from womanhood to motherhood, and how women who are supported in this can help form stronger communities.
