Episode #53 - Ferritin & Fatigue: The Most Overlooked Lab in Women’s Health

Welcome to episode 53 of Antigravity Wellness! In this episode, Dr. Nicole Smith dives into one of the most overlooked labs in women’s health: ferritin, your body’s iron storage level.Many women—especially in perimenopause—experience fatigue, brain fog, hair shedding, restless legs, heavier periods, anxiety, worsening hot flashes, and poor exercise recovery, yet are told their labs are “normal.” Dr. Nicole explains why ferritin is often missed, how low iron stores can impact energy, thyroid function, brain health, and hormone balance long before anemia appears, and what to look for on your lab work.Iron deficiency is common, highly treatable, and when properly addressed, can make a dramatic difference in how you feel. If you’ve never had your ferritin checked, this episode is your reminder to ask about it. 💛 Join our free Facebook Group for exclusive content and community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/perimenopausemenopausewomenswellnessConnect with Us: Website: https://antigravitywellness.com/ Schedule a Brief Initial Consult call here: https://social.antigravitywellness.com/perimenopause-menopause-clinic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/antigravitywellness/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvZRYT-Wf8y6xrr7rLLRgsg Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/antigravitywellness/ Email: [email protected] Reviews: We love hearing from our listeners!
