31: Stem Cells And Cord Blood Banking with Kathryn Cross

Every 3 minutes someone in the United States is diagnosed with a disease that could be treated with cord blood stem cells. In today's episode, I interview Kathryn Cross, the founder of Anja Health and we dive into a topic that is getting very little attention.  Kathryn shares her passion and personal story on why saving the stem cells from umbilical cords and placentas can be life changing for your future children and family. 

Kathryn has cultivated a pregnancy and cord blood banking community on TikTok where she raises awareness about the importance of cord blood banking and other issues related to pregnancy.
