Many of us experience tiredness and lethargy at times. The odd cold, feeling run down, or just struggling to get out of bed in the morning- they may all be far too familiar experiences. But what if they weren't just mere coincidences?They could be a tell-tale sign of something much more sinister, but often easily remedied.This week the girls talk all things anaemia- from the different types, to what to do if you are diagnosed, and how to prevent it in the first place. Plug in for another week of facts and fun as Laura and Atavia journey through the not so complicated world of blood iron.Not recommended for vampires.Music by LiteSaturation from Pixabayhttps://www.instagram.com/tmfn_podcast/
