Understanding Iron Deficiency & Infusions ~ with Clinical Nutritionist Steph Lowe

Have you been told you have low iron? Or is this something you've been struggling with for months or years now? Even if it's not you personally, my guess is you know a sister, friend, mother or daughter who has at some point been 'iron deficient'. But there is more to the story. Like many areas when it comes to reading blood tests, it's worth digging a bit deeper to really understand your results. You may not actually be deficient in the first place. Even if you have a true iron deficiency, chances are your treatment is not actually helping you. I know, I can hear your thoughts. "But what do you mean Kasey?!"
