red blood cells

In this weeks episode I am sharing an old episode I made in season 1 with Amanda Burleigh, who has  helped to change maternity services by campaigning for not just delayed cord clamping, but optimal. 

This is where ALL the baby's blood transfers into their body, and they receive their full blood compliment. 

I have to say that this is a particular favourite of mine, because Amanda's story is so important to the future health of our children, and her inspirational journey has been life changing for so many.

For National Blood Donor Month, Courtney Allison speaks with Dr. Elizabeth Stone, assistant director of transfusion medicine at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia. Unprecedented blood shortages mean that the need for donated blood is as critical as ever. Dr. Stone demystifies the process of giving blood, explains blood types, and shares how both the recipient and the donor can benefit from a single donation.

Most people know that sickle cell has something to do with blood not functioning properly. However, many people don’t know exactly what happens during a sickle cell crisis or who’s at risk for developing one. So, why does sickle cell occur? Who’s more likely to be impacted? What can be done to lessen the discomfort?

I've been singing the praises of InsideTracker for so long that it was about time to have Gil Blander join me as a guest on Stacked. Gil is the Chief Scientific Officer of InsideTracker and an internationally-recognized authority on the science of aging. He leads a team of experts in the development of algorithms and databases that analyze biochemical and physiological markers and determine their optimal ranges.

In the age of fad diets and nutrition trends, Gil works to educate people on the true indicators of health. There is no one-size-fits-all approach, and what may move the needle in the right direction for one person might make no change for the next. We hit the ground running in this episode, cutting through the noise and getting right down to the markers that really matter (and they're not the ones most people pay attention to!). Gil shares fascinating data points on the correlation between red blood cell size and BMI, talks about the effect of "food-like substances" on the brain, and gives us a sneak peek of what to expect from InsideTracker in 2020.
