Underground SGX Show

Episode 12 Show Notes

In this episode I chatted with our favorite Spartan Dietician and SGX Coach Anne L’Heureux.  Recently I had a health scare after some routine blood work.  Expecting an all clear call from the doctor, I was shocked when I was diagnosed with anemia.  After running more tests, my doctor couldn’t figure out what was going on and I found myself at an Oncologists office.

Coach L’Heureux talks about what happened to me and a common condition that occurs with endurance athletes, sports anemia.  Learn all about what happens to your body in an attempt to adapt to endurance training and what you can do about it.  Iron deficiency is a common issue among athletes and dramatically effect performance.  Discover how to increase your iron intake through whole foods, increase absorption rates, and avoid common things that decrease absorption.
