Dr. George Goshua – Iron Deficiency is Common and Detrimental

Iron deficiency affects millions of people, especially women, yet many go years without knowing it, even though it’s one of the most treatable conditions. Dr. George Goshua is a physician-scientist and assistant professor at Yale School of Medicine, where he studies how gaps in diagnosis and access to care can leave patients untreated. His work highlights how something as simple as iron levels can have long-term effects on energy, pregnancy, and even the next generation. The episode has also been shared with leadership at the American Society of Hematology (ASH), which is leading national efforts to improve awareness, diagnosis, and treatment of iron deficiency.
