In this week’s episode, we speak with Rebecca Edwards, Director of Education at Activated Probiotics all about iron deficiency, Why aren’t we absorbing iron & what to do about it - especially in women.
This episode is quite technical language heavy but trust me - it will all make sense in the end!
Low iron is something that Doctors, Naturopaths and Nutritionists see A LOT of in clinic - would even say approx 80% of my clients present as iron deficient when starting initial treatment with me. And often, despite having taken high doses of iron supplements or even iron infusions in the past they find their levels simply do not budge. It can be so frustrating to many which is why I want to unpack the misconceptions around iron absorption in this episode.
In this episode, we discuss:
