This episode of the Be Well Now Method podcast focuses on exercising with anemia. Anemia is caused by a decrease in red blood cells, resulting in a decline in the blood's capacity to carry oxygen. Exercise can help increase hemoglobin and energy levels, as well as improve mental health. The Be Well Now method uses an evidence-based approach to exercise that aligns with the principles of exercise training and movement science. The four main principles of exercise training are individuality, specificity, flexible progression, and frequency. Mindfulness and self-compassion are emphasized throughout the episode.
