About this show:
IRON: It’s a part 3 of sorts, as we’ve covered Iron twice on the show previously but given the questions that continue to come in: This is the show to round it all out thoroughly.
We unpack:
- Iron – when it’s a friend, foe and how to get into a ‘healthier relationship with it’.
- Why your body might think it needs to protect you from iron
- Understanding inflammation to understand your iron challenges better
- Iron as it travels through the digestive tract – a deep dive into all that has to be ‘just right’ for iron levels and absorption to be healthy.
- Microbiome factors when it comes to healthy iron absorption
- Why we need a lot more research on iron and women’s heatlh
- Why iron supplementation shouldn’t be your first “go to fix” when it comes to iron deficiency
- What you can do to further investigate your iron beyond iron studies blood tests.
- How to move forward in your diet and health focuses to maintain healthy iron levels.
And we explore all of this with Rebecca Edwards, Director of Education at Activated Probiotics. With over 2 decades of naturopathic clinical experience, Rebecca educates clinicians globally in all areas of naturopathy, with a special passion for iron absorption, given the many factors that play into it – so luck to have Rebecca to help us dive further into the fascinating topic of IRON.
Note: This episode is in no way funded by or influenced by the company Rebecca works for. You can trust that I will never allow for a paid guest spot. Rebecca is an exceptional educator, and our community had more questions on Iron and she was the perfect person.
On our podcast you can be sure that ads are ads, and show guests are guests because of their subject matter, not because of what they sell.
Enjoy the show and share it with someone who needs support with their iron,
