His initial studies in Functional Medicine coincided with starting a family, which naturally let him to consider the science through the particular lens of pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period - observing his own partner and many others through his clinical work. Dr Serrallach was first to recognise something he turned Postnatal Depletion, describing a broader clinical pattern of many women presenting with symptoms after having children.
