If you’re always tired, dizzy, or cold... it might not be burnout.
It might be anemia—and not the kind you think.
Anemia isn’t just one thing. It’s a category.
And there are many causes that all require very different treatments.
🔹 You’ve got your iron-deficiency anemia—common but often masking deeper gut or bleeding issues.
🔹 B12 or folate deficiency—causes big, slow red blood cells that don’t carry oxygen efficiently.
🔹 Anemia of chronic disease—common in autoimmune conditions, where inflammation blocks red blood cell production.
🔹 Hemolytic anemia—when red blood cells are destroyed too fast by the immune system or infections.
🔹 And most overlooked? Genetic anemias like Beta Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Disease.
🧬 With Beta Thalassemia, your body is trying to make red blood cells—but they’re built wrong.
They’re too small. Too pale. Too fragile.
No matter how much iron you take, they don’t work well.
🌙 With Sickle Cell, the cells are literally misshapen—like a sickle—and they clump together, blocking blood flow and causing pain, fatigue, and even organ damage over time.
Too many people—especially people of color—are being dismissed, under-tested, or misinformed.
They’re living with severe symptoms and getting told it’s “just stress.”
But here’s what I teach as a doctor:
🧠 You can’t fix anemia until you understand the root cause.
And that means knowing if it’s nutritional, inflammatory, or genetic—because they all need very different support.
This is why we don’t just chase iron levels.
We chase function. Balance. And real healing.
