Get block content within reusable blocks

I’m using this function to append blocks to the_content:
```
function filter_the_content( $content ) {
	
	$header = $get_block = get_post( 1570 );
	$header = $get_block->post_content;
	
	$footer = $get_block = get_post( 1586 );
	$footer = $get_block->post_content;	
	
	$content = $header . $content . $footer;

	return $content;
}
add_filter( 'the_content', 'filter_the_content' );
```
If the block I’m calling is a reusable block that has blocks inside, the $get_block->post_content returns as:
<!– wp:block {“ref”:1567} /–>
<!– wp:block {“ref”:1568} /–>

How can I make it recursive so it prints the actual content of those blocks instead of the references?

I see, it doesn’t seem to work for dynamic blocks such as the navigation block.

I had to call do_blocks:

add_filter( 'the_content', 'filter_the_content_in_the_main_loop' );
 
function filter_the_content_in_the_main_loop( $content ) {
 
    if ( in_the_loop() && is_main_query() ) {
		
		$get_block = get_post( 1568 );
   		$menu = $get_block->post_content;	
		$menu = do_blocks($menu);
		
		$get_block = get_post( 1588 );
   		$footer = $get_block->post_content;	
		$footer = do_blocks($footer);
		
        return $menu . $content . $footer;
    }
 
    return $content;
}
