Exhausted, losing hair, brain fog — and told your iron is "normal"?
Low ferritin is one of the most underdiagnosed nutrient deficiencies, especially in women. And the frustrating truth is that standard lab ranges are set so wide that most people are suffering with depleted iron stores long before a doctor flags anything.
Ferritin levels below 30 ng/mL are strongly associated with hair loss in women, and symptoms like fatigue, hair shedding, and exercise intolerance frequently appear well before ferritin drops below the standard lab cutoff.
At Inner Healing Medical, we don't just check if your ferritin is "in range." We investigate your full iron panel, identify the root cause — whether it's gut absorption, heavy periods, chronic inflammation or thyroid dysfunction — and build a personalized protocol to restore your levels for good.
Swipe through to learn what ferritin really does, how to know if yours is low, and how functional medicine approaches it differently.
