In today’s episode Elly and I take a deep dive into addressing the root cause of low iron. It’s one of the most prevalent conditions that we see in clinic at TNN, which, as you’ll learn, reflects the prevalence globally. We discuss those at risk for low iron, how test results are being misinterpreted, both due to our standard pathology reference ranges and the incorrect use of ferritin, the problem with many of the band aid solutions offered by conventional medicine and most importantly, what can be done to address the root cause.
