I Heart Nutrition For those struggling with exhaustion, burnout, hormonal imbalances Liver Reset

When I look at an HTMA report, I am not asking:

What is high? What is low? What supplement should I give her?

I am asking something different:

What does this information add to what I already understand about this person?

That small shift changes everything.

Because the report is not the centre of the conversation.
The woman is.

Her body. Her lived experience. Her environment. Her patterns. Her capacity. Her response.

HTMA gives me clues.
The woman gives those clues context.

And that is where the real work begins.

Maybe you’re not overthinking because you need another answer.
Maybe you’re overthinking because your mind is trying to create certainty.
You replay the conversation. You rethink the decision. You search the symptom. You ask yourself “What if?” again and again.
For a while, it feels productive. But sometimes hours pass… and nothing really changes.
The shift isn’t always finding one more answer. It’s pausing long enough to ask yourself:
What am I actually feeling?
What do I need?
What truly matters right now?
Sometimes the most peaceful mind comes from listening to yourself, not your looping thoughts.

Something I see regularly in clinical practice that I think deserves a much bigger conversation.

A woman comes to me who has been taking iron supplements for years.

Her levels improve for a while.

Then they drop again.

So she increases the dose. Maybe adds Vitamin C to help absorption?

And the cycle continues.

Nobody has ever asked the question that actually matters.

Why is her body not maintaining healthy iron stores in the first place?

Because here is what bloodwork does not always show you.

You can have normal serum iron. Normal haemoglobin. Normal transferrin saturation.

And still have ferritin — your iron storage marker — quietly running down.

Your results look fine.

Your reserves are not.

And the supplement keeps the number manageable.

Without ever touching the reason the number keeps falling.

So instead of asking "how do we raise the iron" — I want to know why it is low.

Are you losing it? Bleeding — menstrual, gastrointestinal, donation-related.

Are you absorbing it? Low stomach acid, gut inflammation, coeliac, dysbiosis — you can be consuming adequate iron and absorbing very little of it.

Can you store it? Chronic inflammation changes how the body distributes and retains iron.

Can you mobilise and utilise it? This is where copper, vitamin A, thyroid function and broader metabolic health come in — nutrients and systems that most iron conversations never reach.

Low ferritin is not a diagnosis.

It is a clue.

And clues deserve investigation — not just another prescription for the same supplement that has not resolved the picture yet.

If you have been taking iron for months or years without ever getting to the bottom of why your levels keep falling — that question deserves a proper answer.

The link in my bio.
