Iron & Its Importance

Nutritional deficiency creates unthinkable challenges in our life. Ferritin is like

your body's checking account for iron levels. When you get deficient in your iron

reserves, symptoms you might experience are:

● Hair loss and premature graying

● Weight gain

● Brain fog

● Insomnia

● Fatigue.

● Dizziness.

● Chronic headaches.

● Unexplained weakness.

● Ringing in your ears.

● Irritability.

● Leg cramps

● Shortness of breath

● Restless leg syndrome

● Swollen tongue

A blood work up is necessary to evaluate iron deficiency anemia. Contrary to

conventional broad normal ranges, I pay close attention to serum ferritin

concentrations using a functional lens and work on correcting this imbalance.
