If you’ve ever climbed high enough to feel short of breath, dizzy, or just “off,” you’ve likely experienced the effects of high altitude on the human body. Once you get above about 2,500 meters (8,200 feet), the air gets “thinner”—not because oxygen disappears, but because there’s…...

Iron Deficiency without Anemia in Individuals Living at Altitude Madeline Larson, PA-S2 People living at high altitude typically have higher hemoglobin levels compared to those at sea level. This physiological adaptation occurs due to the lower oxygen availability at high elevations which stimulates the production of erythropoietin, a hormone that prompts the bone marrow to produce more red blood cells made famous by the Lance Armstrong blood-doping scandal....

You may be surprised to learn that the University of California San Diego has been on the forefront of high altitude and hypoxia research since 1968. I recently attended the 9th Annual Center for Physiologic Genomics of Low Oxygen Summit (CPGLO) led by Tatum Simonson PhD where I gave a short presentation on Growth At Altitude. I met Dr John West who joined the university in 1968 after a Mount Everest research expedition with Sir Edmund Hillary in 1960. ...
