from fitNERD · host Abbey Bell
Feeling drained no matter how much coffee you drink? It might not be burnout — it might be iron. In this episode of FitNERD, we dive deep into the science of iron deficiency and uncover why it’s not as simple as popping a supplement. Learn how iron really works inside your body, why your levels might still be low even when you eat well, and how nutrients like copper, vitamin A, and magnesium complete the puzzle. We’ll talk gut health, inflammation, testing, and how to rebuild your iron stores the right way. This one’s for every woman, athlete, or tired human who wants to stop running on empty — and finally get their energy back. 🔥My favorite iron supplements: https://shop.heartandsoil.co/products/lifebloodamazon storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/ranchwifemamma
