January Jones
The Mad Men actress has revealed that eating her placenta helped prevent postpartum depression. “It’s something I was very hesitant about, but we’re the only mammals who don’t ingest our own placentas,” the mother of Xander Dane Jones, said. “It’s not witch-crafty or anything! I suggest it to all moms!”

Padma Lakshmi
Lakshmi revealed in her memoir Love, Loss, and What We Ate that she had her placenta powdered and encapsulated in pill form after the birth of her daughter, Krishna, because she feared postpartum depression. Wrote the Top Chef host: “I would have done anything to defend myself against collapsing from stress and fatigue and succumbing to the postpartum depression I was so afraid would beset me.”

“Human beings are the only mammals that have chosen to not routinely ingest their placenta, which is consumed by every other mammal for its protein and iron-rich properties that are critical in helping the mother’s body recuperate after giving birth,” the Big Bang Theory star wrote in a March 2012 blog post. “End of story.”

Zolciak — and her husband, Kroy Biermann — drank a placenta smoothie on the season 3 premiere of Don’t Be Tardy. “Dr. Hood has really scared the s–t outta me with this whole postpartum depression, especially with twins because your levels are through the roof and my friend told me eating your placenta can help with that,” she said on the show. “I can do anything by my babies.”

Gaby Hoffman
“I made smoothies out of it for three weeks,” Hoffman said in a January 2015 interview. “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.”

Samantha Bee
“For me, it was like taking a megadose of iron, except in this case, the iron was generated by me, in my very own miraculous human body! What could be better?” the Full Frontal With Samantha Bee host revealed in an interview with Babble. “I wouldn’t take one every day or anything, as they do make me feel ever-so-slightly jittery, but they are there for when I need them, and that comforts me.”

Alicia Silverstone
“It got to the point that my husband said, ‘Did you have your happy pills today?’ And I was really sad when they were gone. It really helped me,” the Clueless actress wrote in her parenting book The Kind Mama: A Simple Guide to Supercharged Fertility, a Radiant Pregnancy, a Sweeter Birth, and a Healthier, More Beautiful Beginning.
