from Love Your Gut · host Heather Finley

This is part 3 of the iron/ferritin series! Three episodes, three clients, three different breakdowns in the same system:Part 1: Ashley's body couldn't absorb iron because of active gut infections and a system in defense mode.Part 2: Danielle's body couldn't transport iron because of low ceruloplasmin, copper utilization impaired by long-term zinc, and microbial activity driving inflammatory sequestration.Part 3: Jessica's body couldn't store iron because the terrain was depleted, the nervous system wasn't in a building state, and the downstream conditions for storage weren't in place.Same symptom. Three completely different root causes and interventions. If you've been listening to this series and you see yourself in one or all three, of these cases, and you want to actually understand which step is the issue for you, that is exactly what our May 31st webinar is built to help you figure out. We'll go through all three steps, the testing that shows you where your system is breaking down, and what to actually do about it.
