In this episode, Amy trades medical jargon for construction metaphors as she takes us on a journey through hemostasis, the body's natural way of stopping a bleed. But what happens when the repair crew is understaffed—or missing entirely? That's where factor replacement therapy comes in. Amy and our experts explain how it works, why timing matters, and how it helps people with bleeding disorders live safer, fuller lives. Whether you're new to the community or a longtime listener, you'll walk away with a better understanding of how the body works—and why treatment makes such a big difference.
