Ep #049 - Future-proof your family's health. Preserving your umbilical cord and placenta is now easier and more affordable than ever. Recommended by physicians to help treat cancer, heart disease, liver disease, diabetes, and more - even for years to come.

On this episode we are joined by Kathryn Cross, the Founder of Anja Health. Anja manually processes the cord blood, tissue, and placenta stem cells after birth - individualizing the approach as opposed to having a machine do it. When compared to automated processing, Anja's manual processing leads to almost 25% more stem cells being recovered and up to 80% less red blood cells contaminating the sample. After enrolling, Anja will send you a collection kit to get started. Once the collection kit is added to your hospital bag, let the hospital know prior to the birth. After the birth, Anja will handle the rest including viability testing, optimization, and cryopreservation within an AABB accredited lab.To learn more visit anjahealth.com.
