In her obsession with staying young, ‘Human Barbie’ Marcella Iglesias has enlisted the help of her 23-year-old son to try to reverse aging. The 47-year-old from Los Angeles has already spent £80,000 on various cosmetic procedures to maintain her youthful appearance, but in 2025, she has decided to try something different.
Marcella plans to undergo a transfusion from her son Rodrigo in an attempt to reverse aging. She believes that blood from a young donor can rejuvenate cells. When she shared her plan with her son, he was enthusiastic about fulfilling her wish.
In an interview with the British news website What’s The Jam, Marcella explained that blood transfusion is a modern method of reviving cells, with many benefits, especially when the donor is your own child. She also shared that since undergoing stem cell therapy, she has felt better both physically and internally.
Rodrigo is not only donating blood to his mother but is also participating in the same process with his 75-year-old grandmother, Graciela. Marcella explained that fresh blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body, while plasma provides the proteins necessary for healing.
Marcella added, “I was told this process is like a traveler taking a sip of water after a long journey.” This procedure is also said to help repair internal organs, reduce inflammation, and improve the health of the kidneys, heart, and lungs.
