You’re showing up for your workouts, tracking your macros, staying disciplined… but instead of looking more athletic, you just feel more sore, more tired, and more stuck.

One of the biggest roadblocks to looking “fit” from your workouts has nothing to do with more cardio, stricter nutrition, or pushing harder in the gym. It’s hidden in your bloodwork.

In this episode from the Why Am I So Tired series, Sarah Whitehead breaks down why low red blood cell markers on your CBC may be stopping you from recovering, building muscle, and finally seeing the fit look you’re working for.

You’ll learn:

• Why red blood cells are the “delivery trucks” that fuel your workouts and recovery.

• What it means when your RBC, HGB, HCT, MCV, MCH, or MCHC come back low.

• Why “normal” lab ranges may not actually be optimal if you want an athletic body.

• The next test you should ask for if your numbers are on the low side.
