Sickle cell warrior Kier "Junior" Spates, from the Steve Harvey Morning Show, and his board-certified co-host Dr. Corey Hebert, the Chief Medical Officer at Dillard University are hosting the new podcast, "Living Your Life." They'll bring attention to families and individuals thriving despite sickle cell disease or sickle cell trait. The podcast premiers Tuesday, April 18 and can be found on YouTube and here.

Each episode will provide positive lifestyle stories and information about sickle cell, including health care, travel and food. Spates' guests will be in his studio as well as joining virtually from around the world to discuss various symptoms, severity and treatments. Living Your Life focuses on increasing awareness for sickle cell disease and improving patient outcome.

Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder affecting red blood cells. This inherited condition causes the cells to have a "c" shape instead of the typical round appearance causing the cells to get stuck and die early, resulting in a constant shortage in the body as well as painful crises.
