Why Mom Burnout Might Actually Be Low Ferritin
from Wild is Wise · host Sara Estes
Your ferritin might be lower than your doctor tested for. If you've been told your labs are "normal" but you still feel exhausted, this episode names the thing most annual exams miss: low iron stores.Sara breaks down why ferritin matters more than hemoglobin for tired women, why the standard reference range of 15 ng/mL is far below where most women actually feel well, why heme iron from animal foods absorbs two to three times more efficiently than plant iron, and what you can do at your next annual physical to actually get the number you need.For full episode sources, show notes, and free resources 👉 wildiswise.com CONNECT WITH WILD IS WISE:Instagram: @wildiswiseTikTok: @wildiswiseSubscribe on YouTube: @wildiswise
