Episode 205 hosts Dr Phillip Singh, a dermatologist based in Perth, Australia & Helen Planting, Clinical Development Manager for Alocuro. Alocuro are a privately-owned Australian company that supplies medical devices for use in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) procedures.

• Phillip and Helen's backgrounds
• What PRP is exactly
• Why platelet concentration is so important
• How PRP is harvested
• How the Alocuro system differs to previous generations of PRP devices
• What the proposed mechanism of action of PRP is
• How your health and nutrition can impact the quality of PRP
