In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert Gorgos takes a closer look at iron and why it is one of the most important trace elements for endurance performance.
The episode explores iron’s role in oxygen transport, energy metabolism, recovery, and immune function, while also explaining how ferritin and transferrin help regulate iron status in the body. Robert breaks down why athletes, especially in endurance sports, are at greater risk of deficiency, how diet quality and nutrient combinations affect absorption, and why both low and excessive iron levels can create real problems for health and performance.
The episode also covers key risk factors, symptoms of deficiency, supplementation strategies, side effects, and why iron status becomes especially important in phases such as altitude training. A practical and evidence based episode for athletes who want to better understand iron, fatigue, recovery, and the balance required for long term performance.
