The amount of low ferritin faces and thyroid eyes I see on a daily basis is crazy. I feel like asking them to get checked but feel like a bossy creep when I do 😅

I woke up the day after an iron infusion looking like I’d been in the Bahamas. I was glowing and had colour in my face that had been missing for years 😂

No one ever told me so I am shouting from the rooftops COFFEE PREVENTS IRON ABSORPTION for about 2 hrs.

remember: dairy, tea and coffee prevent the absorption of iron. Best to take iron supplement with vitamin c to boost absorption.

Ok hear me out here in Sweden ALL old people cooked in cast iron and my dad kept telling me, you have to cook your food in cast iron. Now I don’t own anything other than cast iron, I eat red meat 1-2 times a week (always cooked in cast iron) and paired with a lemon salad for absorption and my ferritin which was rarely above 15 is now NEVER below 120. Trust the oldies! And cooking in cast iron adds iron to everything you cook in it.

MY FERRITIN WAS A 4!!!! A freaking 4 and no one offered any help. I started taking iron supplements and 3 months later it was a 6 😑 I've been suffering for years and my doctors dont do anything.

Mine was 25, but the doctor said I didn’t need to supplement. I had horribly heavy periods, zero energy, hair falling out, brain fog, my nails were brittle. I learned women need a ferritin level of 70-100 to feel “good” so I started supplementing and everything has improved. Even periods are more manageable since I’m no longer stuck in a low iron loop. Why do women’s health concerns go ignored like 😭

I started taking ferrous sulfate on a empty stomach with orange juice, my hairline looks like I’ve taken minoxidil and it’s only been 5 months

I started taking flinstones vitamins with extra iron every day, they definitely made a difference. I recently started taking an iron supplement of 65mg to help, too.

green tea also prevents iron absorption!! if you take iron supplements space them out from your matcha latte

the low iron tik toks are plauging me so much that i just ordered a burger. hopefully that one burger will fix it. this has been my strategy for years. so far 1 burger every other week is not the solution.

Currently sitting at a ferritin level of 7. I have my first infusion on February 25. I’m really looking forward to seeing what being “notmal” feels like!
