798. Low Ferritin: The Iron Problem Standard Labs Miss
transcript
show notes
When you're exhausted, foggy, losing hair, and feeling like something is off, it's easy to hear "your labs are fine" and start doubting yourself. In this episode, I'm walking you through the iron deficiency signs that so often get missed, like chewing ice, restless legs, and air hunger, and why a normal hemoglobin does not always mean your iron is actually fine.
I'm also getting honest about my own years of being iron deficient, the wild clinical story that changed how I think about absorption, and why simply taking more iron may not move the needle if something deeper is going on.
