Sub-Optimal Iron in Women – How to Detect, Correct, and Thrive | Empowering Midlife Wellness

Empowering Midlife Wellness with Dr. Susan

Iron is a vital micronutrient that is sub-optimal in more than 50% of women. This is frequently missed because it masks as many other things, and most doctors don't check the labs that are necessary to evaluate this completely. Today I'll be talking about where we find iron in our diet, how to diagnose low iron and how to address it by evaluating our input, absorption, and ruling out any sources of blood loss. I'll also tell you about my own story with low iron, how I corrected it, and how both my patients and I feel so much better when our iron is optimized!
