#44 - What women in perimenopause need to know about iron deficiency with Maryann Jacobsen, RD
from The Midlife Feast · host Jenn Salib Huber RD ND
Iron deficiency is by far the most common nutrient deficiency among women, but the chances of being low in this VIP mineral increase in perimenopause. And as Maryann Jacobsen RD and I discuss, you don't have to be clinically anemic to feel the effects of low iron. We discuss why ferritin isn't the only measure we need to be paying attention to in our bloodwork, why the reference values for ferritin may be too low and the symptoms that women in midlife should be on the lookout for. Learn more about Maryann on her website, on Medium and on Instagram.What did you think of this episode? Click here and let me know!📚 I wrote a book! Eat To Thrive During Menopause is out now!
