Ep 5: Pump Some Iron!

Iron is not only one of our favorite superheroes, but one of our favorite minerals as it’s an important component of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen from our lungs through our bodies. This week, we talk about how important it is to have good levels of iron in your blood (spoiler alert: very important), tips for better iron absorption through foods and supplements, and why a parasite infection could be the real reason why you’re low on iron even if you’re eating yummy chicken liver every week. Let’s get func’d! Can’t get enough Func You Up? Follow @michellemiller_msacn and @physiologicnyc for more functional nutrition and health. Join us next week to talk about probiotics! In the meantime, leave us a review on iTunes and follow us on Spotify.
