Anemia, Iron Overload, & Red Blood Cells!

This third podcast episode is focused on some basic concepts around Red Blood Cells. Like blood sugar, the ability to transport and deliver oxygen to the tissues of the body represents yet another "pillar" of physiology. We will discuss not only some concepts around a basic understanding of what a Red Blood Cell is and does in the body, but how it may present symptomatically. This episode will introduce concepts around different types of anemia and how to identify them on a blood test, as well as iron overload.
