#135 Dr Oscar Serrallach is a Doctor of Functional Medicine with a special interest in Post-Natal Wellbeing.
Prior to completing his Fellowship in General Practice and Family Medicine (Board Certification), in 2010, he was working mainly in Emergency Medicine.
His initial studies in Functional Medicine coincided with
starting a family, which naturally led him to consider the science
through the particular lens of pregnancy, birth and the post-natal
period, observing his own partner and many mothers through his
clinical work.
Dr Serrallach was first to recognise something he termed Post-Natal
Depletion, describing the broader clinical pattern of many women
presenting with symptoms after having children.
He has since dedicated his work towards researching this
condition and applying the practice of Functional Medicine to help
his clients with their recovery. The Post-Natal Depletion Cure is
his first book.
