Why am I such a big advocate for iron infusions?

Because I see iron deficiency all the time in women—and I also see how easily the symptoms get normalized.

“You’re tired because you’re a mom and busy.”
“Hair loss is normal.”
“You’re probably just stressed.”
“Your periods are heavy, of course your iron is low.”
“Just go to sleep earlier.”

But common ≠ something we should ignore.

Iron deficiency can show up as fatigue, reduced exercise tolerance, brain fog, headaches, hair shedding, restless legs and changes in mood or overall quality of life—and you can have iron deficiency before you ever develop anemia.

Oral iron is often our first-line option, and for many people, it works really well.

But not for everyone.

Some people experience significant GI side effects. Some struggle to absorb it. Some have ongoing losses that make it difficult to replenish their stores. And sometimes, despite months of appropriate supplementation, their iron status simply isn’t improving enough.

That’s when I think we need to be willing to have a conversation about IV iron.

An iron infusion isn’t something everyone with a low ferritin needs, and it isn’t without risks. It should be considered based on the full clinical picture—your bloodwork, symptoms, cause of the deficiency, response to oral treatment and medical history.

But it is an important treatment option.

And I want women to know that feeling exhausted, foggy and depleted shouldn’t automatically be written off as the price of menstruating, having babies, working, or being a mom.

I spend a LOT of time in practice investigating and treating iron deficiency, and recently I found myself on the other side of the conversation.

So yes—I got the iron infusion.

Because sometimes practicing what I preach means recognizing when “just keep taking your iron” isn’t getting us where we need to go.

Maybe health is a little more chic when it takes up less space in your brain.

When you can enjoy the dessert without negotiating with yourself first.

When medication is simply one of the tools available to you—not a sign that you “failed”.

When fertility support is about getting thoughtful, personalized care, not collecting more supplements, doing the latest trend or being told it’s ‘unexplained’.

When motherhood gets to be beautiful and exhausting at the same time.

When missing a workout, ordering the pasta, or having an inconsistent week doesn’t suddenly erase everything you’ve been doing for your health.

I think we’ve spent far too long making “healthy” synonymous with disciplined, optimized and endlessly consistent.

But good healthcare should make your life feel bigger—not make your entire life revolve around being healthy.

Evidence over wellness rules.
Flexibility over perfection.
And a lot less guilt, please.

What if the biggest mistake you’re making in your healthcare appointments isn’t about your symptoms at all? It’s assuming the most important things to discuss don’t matter.

It’s thinking you’re only coming in for facts and more information, when what you might really need is strategy, implementation, and human connection. Yes, we talk labs, meds, and supplements, but we also talk about the things that don’t show up on a lab report.

We talk about our shame around food, not knowing how to start moving your body, grief, stress, asking if a GLP-1 is appropriate, wondering if it’s time to consider an antidepressant, or feeling guilty that genetics might mean you need a cholesterol med.

This is the appointment for all of that. Not just the labs and protocols, but your context, your fears, your values. Because the best care plans aren’t built on perfect information. They’re built on honest conversations.

This space is for all of it: the labs and the loss, the treatment plan and the messy middle. You’re not just a chart, you’re a whole story, and I’m here to hear it.

If this resonates with you, what’s something you’ve held back from a healthcare provider because you were afraid of being judged?

There has never been more fertility information available than there is today.

Podcasts. TikToks. Reddit threads. Supplement recommendations. “Success stories.” Protocols. Opinions.

And yet, so many people feel more overwhelmed than ever.

Information is powerful—but information without context can leave you second-guessing every decision you make.

If I were starting my fertility journey tomorrow, these are the three things I’d remind myself every single day:

✨ Focus on foundations, not perfection.
✨ Less is more. Protect your emotional and financial resources.
✨ Your outcome is never a reflection of how hard you tried.

One of the biggest misconceptions I see is believing that doing more automatically means you’re giving yourself a better chance. In reality, the goal isn’t to try everything—it’s to do the right things for your body, your diagnosis, and your stage of the journey.

No Instagram post, Google search, or AI tool can replace individualized assessment, thoughtful strategy, and compassionate human support.

Because fertility care isn’t about collecting more information.
It’s about knowing what actually applies to you.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, take this as your reminder: you don’t have to navigate it alone. 🤍

👇 What’s one piece of fertility advice you’ve heard that left you more confused than before?

07/16/2026

This might be an unpopular opinion…

I don’t think the biggest barrier to better health is a lack of information.

It’s behaviour change.

Most people already know they should eat more vegetables, move their bodies, sleep more, drink less alcohol, manage stress, and book the appointment they’ve been putting off.

Knowledge isn’t the problem.

Action is.

So here’s a question I can’t stop thinking about…

If you would die for your children… would you get healthy for them?

Would you finally prioritize your own health?
Would you go for the walk?
Would you strength train?
Would you make the appointment?
Would you work on your relationship with food?
Would you address your stress instead of pushing through it?

We often wear self-sacrifice like a badge of honour. But what if the greatest act of love isn’t sacrificing yourself…

What if it’s taking care of yourself so you’re here—healthy, present, and able to watch them grow?

As a naturopathic doctor, I can recommend supplements, review lab work, and create the most comprehensive personalized treatment plans.

But I can’t make the daily choices for you.

Because your health isn’t built in the clinic.

It’s built in the moments no one sees.

👇 I’d love to know your thoughts:

What’s the biggest obstacle that’s stopping people from making lasting changes to their health?

Supporting your body through a fertility cycle doesn’t have to be so complicated.

It’s usually the basics done consistently that make the biggest difference, sleep, eating enough, balanced meals, managing stress.

I see so many women overthinking supplements and protocols,
when their body is just asking for more support day to day.

You don’t need to do everything,
you just need to do the right things, consistently✨

Fertility treatment is often approached as a protocol, but living through it is so much more than that.

It’s the questions you leave appointments with.
The symptoms you’re trying to manage on your own.
The mental load you carry between every step.

You deserve support that goes beyond the timeline, 
support that helps you understand your body, navigate the in-between, and feel a little less alone in it. 🤍
