Kona Learnings, L-Carnitine's effect on Performance, Tapers and much more – Ask a Cycling Coach 230

Mentioned in the Podcast was hemachromatosis. And what this means. Most people that do have hemachromatosis have 1 gene, you can take iron and store it. I’ve been given the double gene :dna: which gives me the rare gift of high iron intake. Currently sitting at 300, double the usual 120-150 for a person to store. To wave off health issues blood letting is common. Or you can go on drugs for the rest of your life. High iron can lead to joint problems, constant tiredness, recovery is a problem being tired. I’m interested in any other info @chad has in this. What other effects it may have on athletic ability.
