• Feeling Drained? Let’s Talk About Iron Deficiency
    Jun 25 2025

    If you’ve been feeling constantly tired, foggy, or just not quite like yourself — it might not just be “getting older.” In today’s episode, we’re diving into one of the more common and overlooked causes of fatigue in women: iron deficiency.

    We’ll cover:

    • What iron does in your body (and why it’s so critical)

    • Symptoms of low iron (it’s more than just tiredness!)

    • Treatment options that range from food to supplements to IV iron

    This isn’t medical advice — just a conversation to help you understand your body better. If you’ve been dragging through your day and wondering why, this episode might give you a helpful nudge in the right direction.

    Takeaway: You don’t have to accept exhaustion as your new normal. Fatigue has a cause — and it might be something fixable.
