Placenta Power: Hormones, Healing & the Forgotten Wisdom of Motherhood with Dr. Sophia Johnson

Join us at Wealthy as a Mother Bootcamp happening LIVE 1/19-1/22: https://themillionairemother.com/wealthy-as-a-mother

Today's guest is taking us inside one of the most mysterious and powerful organs in the human body...the placenta.

Dr. Sophia Johnson is one of the world's leading experts on the placenta-the temporary, intelligent organ that grows life, regulates hormones, and bridges mother and baby in ways science is still catching up to. For over a decade, she conducted research at the Placenta Lab at Jena University Hospital, where she studied placenta remedies through both a scientific and holistic lens.

Dr. Sophia also shares insights from her book Placenta Power, including practical preparation protocols, postpartum nourishment recipes, and why every woman deserves access to information that allows her to make empowered choices about her body.

This episode is a powerful invitation to reclaim postpartum wisdom, honor the intelligence of the female body, and challenge the systems that have dismissed women's lived experiences for centuries.

Tune in to hear:

• What the placenta actually is and why it's essential to life, healing, and postpartum recovery

• Why placenta consumption (placentophagy) exists across cultures and why language around it matters

• How modern medicine has historically overlooked women's postpartum needs

• What Sophia discovered through laboratory analysis of placenta tissue, including hormones, trace elements, and microorganisms

• The connection between hormone withdrawal after birth and postpartum mood disorders

• Why many women report increased energy, improved mood, enhanced milk supply, and reduced bleeding after consuming their placenta

• The difference between raw, dehydrated, and steamed placenta preparations and how each impacts hormonal content

• How placenta remedies were historically used in both European and Chinese medicine

• The spiritual, energetic, and symbolic significance of the placenta as the "tree of life"

• Why informed consent and bodily sovereignty are central to postpartum care

• How women can choose what happens to their placenta (from encapsulation to burial to ritual)
