Labstories
Labstories exists to help you understand your labs and optimize your health. Because of the direct-to-consumer lab movement, there are now thousands of health conscious people who have their results, but don't what they mean or how to make them better!
If that's you, welcome to Labstories, where we help you understand your labs and optimize your health.
This podcast will tell stories about the CBC, CMP, A1c, testosterone, estrogen, cortisol, urinalysis, adrenal hormones, and much more!
In each episode we bring a lab to life with a story, clarify the most common abnormalities, teach you what matters, what doesn't, and show you how to move from the red to the black.
I'm your host Dr. Tom Schexnaildre. Let's go!

Labstories Ep. 10: Hemoglobin Explained by A Doctor!
Hemoglobin! Learn what hemoglobin is, what causes low hemoglobin, what causes anemia, what the symptoms of anemia are, how to fix anemia, as well as some good nutrition and supplement recommendations! Hemoglobin has 3 parts: Iron: heme, globins, and iron. It is the most important protein in the body, the main component of red blood cells, and carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues using iron. Low hemoglobin is anemia. The most common cause of low hemoglobin is bleeding. The symptoms of anemia are shortness of breath and fatigue. The signs of anemia are pale skin and eyes. You can fix low hemoglobin and low iron by stopping the bleeding, eating iron rich foods, and taking iron supplements.
