In this episode, I invite Kate Boyle back to explore a topic that you've most likely heard about, possibly even managed yourself. Low iron levels.
Iron has a vital role in living a turned on life. When your iron levels are low, life can feel flat and like you're running on empty.
For many women, levels can be surprisingly difficult to manage, and the best ways to manage it can be uncertain.
For example, should you supplement your diet with iron?
When are iron infusions the way to go?
Do we know what’s really causing it? Or why we have to contend with low levels, even when we increase our iron intake?
Tune in to hear Kate share about her experience with iron deficiency and how it led her to dive deeper into what was the underlying cause.
You'll hear us discuss:
What is anemia
What are symptoms of low iron?
An essential ingredient we need to absorb iron.
Why iron supplements may not work for you.
Gut health, pre & probiotic foods
Foods that damage your gut health
The role vitamin C plays in absorption (it's not what we’ve been led to believe).

Blood tests and what to ask for.
Getting a copy of your blood test results
The importance of getting to the root of a symptom
