In this episode of the Motherly Podcast, Liz chats with Kathryn Cross, founder of Anja Health, a company dedicated to helping families preserve umbilical cord and placenta stem cells. Kathryn’s journey is deeply personal—she founded her company in memory of her brother Andrew, whose life was tragically impacted by the lack of available stem cells for his treatment. Kathryn explains how cord blood and placenta banking works, the future of stem cell preservation, and the importance of taking this proactive step for your child's health. She also shares insights on entrepreneurship and offers valuable advice for expecting parents considering cord blood banking for the first time. Hosted on Acast.
