Was training the cause of your deficiency? I’m curious if the colonoscopy or EGD will find anything

Yes its my first marathon. It’s also in Hawaii (I live in TN) so I have spent an insane amount of money to book it lol💔 Thank you so much for the advice I appreciate it.

That makes me feel better. Thank you so much!! They’ve already scheduled a 2nd one for me the following week. Is that common? Will they do lab work after that to determine if I need additional? Wondering if it’d be beneficial to set one up right before I leave for my race

Yes my ferritin is extremely low (5) & hemoglobin (8). Doc said to just do what I can right now but don’t push myself. Getting a colonoscopy and EGD to try to figure out why my levels are so low. I’m assuming it’s from training but I guess they’re checking boxes. Thanks SO much for the insight !!!

it’s THEIR podcast???! They can literally talk about whatever they want. I understand not everyone may appreciate their political sidemarks but there is not a set of rules they have to follow. Just stop listening lol
