About this episode
Thank you for listening to my weird interest in Mt. Everest in this episode! I am not sure why I am so fascinated by this, but there is just something about it that I can’t quite wrap my head around.
Here are the links I said I would provide for ~further explanation~
Yale Medicine: Pulse Ox
Cleveland Clinic on Hypoxia
Also: supporting evidence from the National Center for Biotechnology Information

Somehow I was able to find a picture of my roommate Lexi and I at the top of the mountain we climed in Jasper National Park in Canada. Took a deep dive through my Facebook albums to find this- I wish there were more! Looking back, I truly cannot recall if this was Mt. Columbia, BUT I have no proof suggesting otherwise. Despite that, this was 100% in Jasper National Park... somewhere.
Catch you in the next episode!
