Blood is the body’s delivery system. It transports oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells to your organs and tissues. Blood markers can reveal many factors affecting your health, including oxygen levels, nutrient status, infections, and immune activity—including inflammation. Blood markers also offer clues about many health conditions, from anemia to certain cancers and autoimmune diseases. Learn about crucial blood biomarkers, how they relate to each other, and what they tell you about various conditions or symptoms.

📍What is discussed:
*00:00 – Why Blood Health Matters*

Blood is the body’s delivery system — essential for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells.

*00:15 – What Blood Markers Can Reveal*

Key insights into oxygen levels, nutrient status, infections, and immune activity.

*00:27 – Core Red Blood Cell Markers Explained*

Understanding RBCs, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and MCV — and how they relate to anemia.

*01:07 – Symptoms and Causes of Anemia*

From shortness of breath to fatigue; potential nutrient deficiencies include iron, B12, or folate.

*01:44 – What Low MCV or High MCV Might Mean*

Low MCV may signal iron deficiency; high MCV might point to low B12 or folate.

*02:09 – What Is Hematocrit?*

It reflects the percentage of red blood cells in your blood — another clue in anemia screening.

*02:22 – What Do Platelets Do?*

Platelets help with clotting — but too many can increase clotting risk, and too few may impair healing.

*02:43 – Platelets, Vitamin K, and Inflammation*

Vitamin K plays a role in platelet production; inflammation or infections can shift platelet levels.

*03:00 – When to See a Hematologist*

Extremely high or low platelet counts should be evaluated by a specialist.

*03:11 – Key Nutrients for Blood Health*

Iron, folate, and B12 support red blood cells; vitamin D and omega-3s help the immune system.

*03:30 – Lifestyle Habits That Support Blood Health*

Sleep, stress management, and balanced nutrition all play a role.

*03:41 – White Blood Cells and Acute Infections*

WBCs rise with infections and fall with recovery — useful for tracking illness.

*03:56 – Low White Blood Cell Count and Stress*

Chronically low WBCs may point to stress or autoimmune dysfunction.
