Your mood and iron. The connection is deep.

I spent the last few months doing a deep dive on iron. It compelled me enough to sit down and record a full podcast on why this nutrient needs to matter to you, why the reference range isn’t good enough, and why we’ve got things so wrong about iron.  Iron deficiency is the most common deficiency around the globe. And when we have a stat like that, we often imagine women in low-resource countries. But it’s not just women living in developing countries that are struggling. You’re struggling too.  Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in ALL women. No matter where you live or how much meat you do or don’t eat.  This episode is for you if you have ever Been told you have iron deficiency. Even if you think it’s fixed.  Have fatigue but have been told your iron is “fine”.  Have a diet that is low in iron (vegetarian, plant-based, etc.) Have a menstrual cycle.  I talk through what iron deficiency looks like in your lab work (again, even if you’ve been told it’s fine), and how to go about starting to fix things.  If you’re struggling with how to get iron into your life or have a chronic iron deficiency that needs support, our team at Clarity Health is ready to support you.
