Here are the 3 most effective strategies that ALL of my patients who see results are doing consistently…

02/18/2026

Stress + no rest = no digest

High stress can affect our gut motility, permeability, and microbial composition. If this persists for a long time we start seeing decreased absorption of important nutrients and eventually hormone imbalances and chronic inflammation.

Address the root cause, don’t skip the fundamentals like stress management, sleep, and exercise, and you’ll be on your way to feeling like yourself again🙌💪

Don’t be afraid to reach out if you’re looking for support🤗

Hormones are a very important piece of the puzzle…

But if you’re not eating, moving, or sleeping properly, no amount of supplements or medications will solve the problem.

It takes time and consistency and reflection to reverse health issues that took years to materialize. Reach out if you’re looking for help with building a personalized, sustainable health management plan💪🥑

Some things don’t come back in style…

One of those things is the way we now view dietary fat’s role in weight loss.

Watch the whole video for an explanation of where we went wrong in the science back in the day, and what we have learned since then🔬🥑

Share this with someone that’s stuck in the 80s and still thinks fats are the problem.

If your ferritin has been “low normal” for years and no matter how much iron you take… it doesn’t move - this is for you (save and share!)

P.S. Comment TIPS to access my “Tips for optimal iron absorption” handout to learn about strategies to optimize your iron absorption and avoid having expensive p**p!

Because low ferritin is rarely an iron intake problem. It’s almost always a pattern problem.

Here are the 3 biggest reasons I see clinically
1. You’re not absorbing iron. Low stomach acid, GI inflammation, H. pylori, SIBO, or poor bile flow can completely block absorption. You can supplement daily and still stay deficient if digestion isn’t working properly.
2. Inflammation is trapping your iron. Chronic inflammation raises hepcidin - a hormone that locks iron away so your body can’t use it. This is why ferritin stays low even when you’re told you’re “not anemic”
3. You’re losing iron faster than you can replace it. Heavy cycles, postpartum depletion, endurance training, or chronic stress can outpace replenishment - especially when thyroid and cortisol are dysergulated

Here’s the part that most women are never told:

Ferritin under 50 can impair thyroid hormone conversion

under 70 can contribute to hair loss, fatigue, cold intolerance, and exercise intolerance

“Normal” does not mean optimal. And ferritin should never be interpreted in isolation.

This is exactly why I don’t guess. I assess patterns first - iron, inflammation, thyroid, cortisol, insulin, and gut function together.

Like, share, and save if you found this information helpful. And don’t hesitate to shoot me a DM if you have any questions or are seeking support!
