When a woman tells me she is exhausted, bloated and just doesn’t feel like herself, I don’t immediately hand her a long list of things to take. Instead, I want to understand: 1)what changed, 2)when it changed and 3)what has both already been evaluated and tried. My goal is to make your next step clearer- not make your routine more complicated.

Your bloodwork says you're "not anemic" — so why are you still exhausted, always cold, and losing more hair than usual? Your CBC checks hemoglobin, but it almost never checks ferritin, your actual iron stores. You can be fully "in range" and still running on empty. New post on the blog breaks down why ferritin matters more than hemoglobin, and what to ask your provider for. Link in comments.
