I am talking about how being a female runner sets you up to have nutrient deficiencies that make it harder for your body to have energy to do basic bodily functions. I want you to be aware of the risk of feeling fatigued and how your red blood cells can be created in a way that does not make you feel optimal in your body. I dive into the science of what happens when you do not have enough usable iron in your body. I give you things to look for when your labs come back with low iron or low ferritin.
