95. Low Ferritin After 40: Do You Really Need Iron? What Your Labs Aren't Telling You

95. Low Ferritin After 40: Do You Really Need Iron? What Your Labs Aren't Telling You

You were told your iron is low - but is that really true? In this episode, Claudia breaks down why low ferritin does not automatically mean iron deficiency, why so many women are incorrectly told to take iron supplements, and how incomplete lab testing leads to more confusion and symptoms.

You'll learn:

  • Why ferritin alone does not tell the full iron story
  • Key iron labs most providers miss (serum iron, transferrin, iron saturation, TIBC/UIBC)
  • Additional labs that are essential to assess iron status
  • Why iron supplements can make symptoms worse
  • Common causes of low iron and low ferritin in women over 40
  • How heavy periods, low progesterone, and fibroids affect iron status
  • The role of gut health, stomach acid, and stress in iron absorption
  • What a root-cause approach to low iron actually looks like
