Kim Kardashian isn't afraid to admit on her app why she wanted to eat her placenta after giving birth to her son, Saint West.

"And when I say 'eat my placenta,' I mean that I'm having it freeze-dried and made into a pill form, not actually fry it like a steak and eat it (which some people do, BTW)," she writes on her app.

The 35-year old mother of two shares that she has never been a "holistic person", and that the practice actually coincides more with her sister Kourtney's personality. However, this isn't the first time she would be doing this, sharing that she also consumed her own placenta after giving birth to North in order to help prevent postpartum depression.

The reality star and wife of rapper Kanye West said that she has read a lot about pregnant women who suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to their first baby. She shared that the same women ate their placenta for their second baby and did not suffer from depression.

"So I thought, why not try it? What do I have to lose?", she shares.

Kardashian says that she didn't want to go through the baby blues, and believes that aside from preventing depression, the placenta pill also helps her with her overall healing and energy level.

Celebrity moms such as Kim Zolciak and January Jones also publicly revealed that they, too, have consumed their placenta and benefitted from the said practice.

Kardashian gave birth to baby Saint on Dec. 5, and is said to be extremely hands-on with her new son.
