Hello @kristsam88, Welcome to Connect. I think you have already started on your journey to help yourself improve your anemia by just reaching out to learn more about the condition and what helps. Here's some information that I think you might find helpful to get started.

There is another discussion where you can learn what others with anemia have shared here:
