@elevatemd: If your doctor said your ferritin is “normal” but you still feel like 💩… THIS VIDEO IS FOR YOU! Low ferritin is one of the most commonly overlooked issues we see in our perimenopause patients, and it’s genuinely because most doctors just aren’t paying attention to it. 🙄 Here are some signs your ferritin may be too low, even if your labs came back “normal”… ☑️ Persistent fatigue or low energy that doesn’t improve with rest or sleep ☑️ Restless legs at night, or internal tremors ☑️ Brain fog, difficulty concentrating, losing your train of thought, or forgetting common words mid-sentence ☑️ Increased hair shedding or diffuse thinning (you shouldn’t be losing clumps in the shower) ☑️ Frequent headaches or dizziness, especially if you feel lightheaded or hear ringing in your ears when you stand up ☑️ Shortness of breath with minimal exertion ☑️ Cold hands & feet ☑️ Brittle nails or spoon-shaped nails ☑️ Increased heart rate or palpitations ☑️ Thyroid dysfunction The “normal” lab range for ferritin bottoms out at 15 ng/mL, but realistically, most of our patients don’t start feeling like themselves again until their ferritin is at least 50 or higher. 😅 We find that the best way to address low ferritin is by: 🤌🏻 Stabilizing progesterone levels 🤌🏻 Supplementing with a gentle form of iron such as ferrous bisglycinate paired with vitamin C for optimal absorption 🤌🏻 Addressing GI inflammation with L-glutamine 🩺📲 If you’re in the US and curious about hormone therapy for perimenopause or menopause symptom management, go to the 🔗 in my bio to book a free 30 minute call with my team to learn how to get started. 🤗 #hormonehealth #hormonalimbalance #womenover30 #womenover40
