Live Life Unfiltered (3)

77-year-old Ernestine Shepherd is such an inspiration. She lives her life unfiltered.  She doesn’t let outside influences or her age stop her from anything.

She wakes very early then runs ten miles before her 5:30am breakfast every day. Ernestine didn’t start exercising and bodybuilding until she was 53 years of age.

Her high protein breakfast includes drinking 8 oz. of liquid egg whites.  She then heads to her gym for her own 1 hour, 45 minute morning workout.  Throughout the day she teaches fitness classes and helps train others before doing it all over again the next day.

Click this video to hear from the all inspiring Ernestine, which was filmed in 2012.

Stem Cells from Umbilical Cord Provide Many Benefits

Tuesday, January 7th, 2014

After a baby is born, cord blood is left in the umbilical cord and placenta. It is relatively easy to collect, with no risk to the mother or baby.  The cord blood contains haematopoietic (blood) stem cells.  Larger reserves of these stem cells are found in our bone marrow.

Haematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) can make every type of cell in the blood – red cells, white cells and platelets. These stem cells are responsible for maintaining blood production throughout our lives and provide many repair and renewal capabilities. They have been used for many years in bone marrow transplants to treat blood diseases.

In this video, Mom, Shelly Connelly talks about Peyton’s recovery using stem cells collected from cord blood.
