In Part 2 of our four-part Fuelling Your Health series, Dr Phil Choi returns to explore how food and nutrition may help support your platelets' ability to function, not just how many you have.
Bleeding is one of the most common symptoms of ITP, but what you eat might play a small supporting role in how well your platelets work. Dr Choi unpacks the role of nutrients like vitamin C and vitamin K, and explains how certain foods and supplements - such as alcohol, garlic, or fish oil - can interfere with normal clotting.
This episode is full of practical insights to help you make informed choices about what ends up on your plate.
