Cord blood banking isn’t something most parents think about—or even hear about—until after they’re already pregnant. In this episode, I chat with Sofia Magana from Healthcord Cryogenics to break it all down in a clear, easy-to-understand way.

We talk about what cord blood actually is, why some families might consider banking it, and what the process looks like at birth. We also go over the difference between private banking and public donation, so you can understand all the options before deciding what’s right for your family.

This conversation is all about giving you the facts—no pressure, no hype—so you can feel informed and confident about whether this is something you want to explore.
