Are you a runner or athlete struggling with your iron levels? Constantly battling fatigue, injury, and just feeling ‘bleh’? Maybe you’ve been on an iron supplement and are not seeing improvements in your levels. In this episode I dive into why low ferritin levels often need a closer look and why supplementation is often not the fix athletes need. I also cover:

• What is iron?
• What are the biomarkers in an iron panel?
• How underfueling impacts iron status– spoiler: it's more than just not consuming enough iron
• Low ferritin as a red flag for LEA/RED-s
• Iron status and bone injuries
• Gut health and absorption of iron
• Other micronutrients at play with iron status
• And so much more!
