Claim summary · not a verbatim quotation
Hypoxia training changes the red blood cell count in the human body.
The finding
What remains unresolved
Sufficient hypoxic exposure can stimulate erythropoiesis, but Joe's context is brief chamber workouts twice weekly, not living at altitude. The trials and exposure reviews inspected here do not establish that his particular schedule changes red-cell count or works like injected EPO. The generic mechanism does not verify the claimed training dose.
