Send us a text

Told you have low iron? Are you feeling fatigued and your hair thinning? You're in the perfect place to learn about HOLISTIC approaches to low iron, beyond the supplement.

🥝 Did you know that two critical nutrients are needed in order to absorb iron?  (Watch to find out!)
🥝 Did you know that healthy kidneys are responsible for iron? (Yep! They produce a hormone called erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells needed to carry oxygen throughout the body)
🥝 Did you know that gut health is vital to the absorption of low iron?

👉🏼 We must look at *why* the iron in the body is not being utilized properly, and the other minerals that are lacking such as copper, magnesium, and B12. They all work together.

👁 In most cases, low iron is a case of low copper (copper is essential for absorbing iron from the gut) and *high estrogen* (hello PMS) is linked to low copper (read the Painless Period Guide on how to reduce excess estrogen).

ALSO, your kidneys produce a hormone called erythropoietin, which stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells needed to carry O2 throughout the body. If the kidneys are not nourished through food (and is heavily impacted by stress & anxiety), then of course you will feel weaker and tired, and you will indeed have low iron!

Remember: start at the root. Ask questions. Empower yourself.
