I eat Micro greens everyday! Love them!❤

I have been struggling with hair loss for 17 yers (currently 34) my ferritin level is 9 and I have just discovered it may be due to this. Never got tested for this before, just was told I had mild anemia at times, got tested for thyroid and homone imbalance and when that came back fine I was told my hair loss must be genetic. I cannot believe it may have been fixable all this time, I went through sooo much becouse of my thinning hair, was even considering using a wig.

My hemoglobin is at 11.4 I’m checking my ferritin today but I have so many symptoms of anemia. I had iron deficiency anemia in the past and it feels exactly the same but like 2x worse. My doctors think it’s all in my head and that I’m exaggerating but me and my family know cause they’ve seen me in their own eyes not be myself and sit in my room all day cause of how weak and fatigue I feel.

There is also one problem not mentioned here: intracellular iron overload. (most likely due to genetic problems with converting iron into ferritin) This is often not talked about but this "uncoupling" of iron and ferritin has been shown to be a predisposing factor or to at least correlate with migraines, schizophrenia and certain types of dementia. And the thing is that meassuring the actual amount of intracellular elemental iron (non-transferin-bound and non-ferritin-bound iron) is quite hard/expensive. One should keep that in mind. I do suffer from migraines from time to time, have a mother with schizophrenia, am compound heterozygote for hemochromatosis and have genes for heamolytic aneamia and when I received some vitamin C injections, both times I was sick for one week with symptoms of schizoaffective disorder which I never had otherwise. Basically, I was bumping into objects while walking, could not speak properly and had a flat affect followed by depressive mood swings and "having the urge to destroy everything around me" - which I never did. Both times, it went away after 5 days on its own without any medication but I did not take a third vitamin C injection... So it's always good to ask for family history of diseases and read into their relation to iron metabolism before acting and taking any kind of supplement.

Did you take two pills at a time? Mine is coming today!❤

I wish I didn't have an iron infusion for myself about a week ago, because unfortunately I'm still having symptoms from it. Apparently I've looked it up, they gave me too high of a dose of iron all at once. They gave me 1000 mg of iron in the infusion all at once which I heard you're not supposed to have more than 600 mg of it in an infusion. The first symptoms I had after were dizziness, second day nonstop diarrhea, 3rd day I had issues breathing when I woke up from sleep, 4th day heart racing when I bend over and stand back up and when I walk upstairs it's worse than before the infusion. I don't think that this is normal at all. Last time I had an iron infusion they did 2 separate ones and they did it two weeks apart so I'd absorb it slower and not so fast, but this time they did it all at once and that's why I'm still having symptoms right? I've never felt this awful from an iron infusion before and I want to know what to do about it, because I'm still having symptoms a week later and I'm having constant headaches and dizziness still. Last night I felt so bad with my headache that it was hard to see anything around me.

Good vid!

I’ll take dementia or kidney failure over getting prescribed an antidepressant for sleep that will completely rewire my brain.

Muchas gracias!

How about eating foods with good iron in like red meats and offal and do it organically also dark green veg or even nuts or beans

If you have cavities in your mouth will salt water make it worst. Some dentist are saying it will dry out mouth. My youngest is autistic. He is constantly eating every second although he has cavities on some baby teeth. I need a technique reduce plaque in his mouth.

Dr. what are the dosages fpr taking inositol, l-theanine and magnesium. There was no mention of dosage. Thanks

I have severe restless legs syndrome to the point that I only get relief from Methadone (20mg: I think it's mg). Before Methadone, I lived a hellish awful life. However, I don't like taking it, even though I've taken it for 3 years without issues. I had taken Pramipexole, but I augmented really bad on it because my PCP didn't know to stop it and change drugs if I went above 0.5mg. I know RLS is sometimes caused by low ferritin, or at least ferritin not reaching the brain. Do you think the optimize iron product will help get more ferritin/iron to my brain? My ferritin, as measured by a blood test has always been low normal. I will begin the Blood Vitality iron tomorrow, if it arrives in the mail. At what level should I drop the dosage if I get to that point? I would be super grateful for any advice. I posted this question on a very old video, but I wasn't sure you would see it.

I got a copper IUD and the heavyness of my period has about tripled.. Since that I seem to lack iron all the time

makes sense - is there any additional benefit to using something like Tom's of Maine Sea salt mouthwash -from the essential oils or whatnot? Certainly the DIY would be less expensive and less plastic bottles

Ferritin 30 Iron 196 TIBC 386 Saturation 51 RBC 4.36 Hemoglobin 13.6 HCT 38.9 Folate 6.3 B12 492 I’m confused as to why my iron and saturation are high.

I’m sorry but taking this OR 5 HTP keeps me awake through the entire night! What am I doing wrong?!

One thing is even if I tried a2 goat milk it tasted so bad and I got big bloating. I right now do not have access to a2 cow milk and I will try it next month. The only thing that works for me is a1 kefir and a1 lactose free sour milk so something in fermented a1 changes allergens. But I crave for warm chocolate milk which I am not taking for last few yrs due to bloating...will try a2 cow milk next month!!

It’s normal food no one wants fake food

It’s all about your performance in the gym and how you look and feel. All these crazy specific methods are just marketing fads.

Thanks so much! I’m going to order a bottle now! I take one pill for hypothyroidism.. how long should I wait before taking your iron supplement?

Thanks so much! I’m going to order a bottle.. but are they constipating?

Is i possible that some may need more than 70?

Quicker than this almost 20 minute video. Could have had it covered in 5 mins

Would low copper cause me to have high iron and iron binding capacity but low ferritin?

Don't take iron with calcium

lol I just got diagnosed w a iron deficiency

I just saw a video where milk thistle extract is adviced for low ferritin, something to do with liver support for ferritin, is that something to try?

Will taking an organ supplement boost your ferritin levels up if you are older? I workout everyday and have always done that.. I was trying to ween myself off of my thyroid pills but realized since I was on them for many years that I wasn’t feeling right so I went up to my normal prescription.. my levels are good but my ferritin was very low.. thanks so much!

Common sense

can ferritin level below 5ng/ml cause pulsatile Tinnutus in one ear alone sir?

Never again, that messes up my gums for days 😂 maybe I put too much salt

This guy deserves a subscribe for sure. Thank you doc. I've been pounding away at 300 milligrams this past week. Going to look for something under 100.

So we cant eat vegetables, nuts and seeds cause of phytic , we cant eat fruit cause of sugar, camt eat fish cause of mercury, amd we cam eat meat cause of cholesterol.....is grass ok???

Good stuff doc

That's good if you have elevated iron and want to lower it, plus taking IP6.

This actually made me cry, it was so validating. I was in the ER and nobody would take me seriously because my hemoglobin was a 10.6 even though it said ferritin = 2 and iron = 18. The PCP I went to actually laughed at me and said there's no way I'd be having symptoms with my hemoglobin that high and that it was all in my head. I never went back to her, naturally. One of the ER docs gave me a rx for iron pills but he acted angry at me for wasting his time. The pills helped a lot and now I am finally seeing a nice gastro who wants to figure out the cause. I wish you could be my doctor! ugh

Drink all the milk you can, it good for you, don't listen to democrats and there BS

I can confirm he knows what hes talking about when he mentions that you have to take iron every other day. Before watching his video i was doung research on iron and saw some studies that mentioned taking it evrry other day. I had my blood tested and my iron level was at 17. I've been so tired for over two years, have muscle aches and fatigue thinking my school aged child is bringing in illness and im catching them. Id walk up the stairs and feel tired and fatigue. One day enough was enough and i called my doctor and now im on my iron journey. ❤ you deserve to live life with energy and not feel tired and sore and fatigued all the time. To think I let years go by before taking action 😔. Mamas dont put yourself last.

I recently had an iron infusion and then a blood transfusion 2 weeks later. I then missed my monthly which was due around 2 weeks post transfusion. Is that normal? Absolutely not pregnant.

I have all symptoms and my ferritin came back at 48. would you say I should be taking 75mg every other day for better absorption ?Thank you

My iron is high at 220, saturation 57% but ferritin is only 8

What a great man. Thank you for your sincerity ❤️

My skin does not like zinc. At all. 😢 Thankfully I almost never burn. Like twice in my 50 years of life.

So if we buy organic gluten free pasta, like the one sold at Costco, is that safe? I’m cutting almost all processed carbs anyway, but we have one dish we eat (Hoover stew) for which we use pasta.

I would love to hear what others do because chronic pain is a reality for me as well as trauma pain. I’m a pretty tough cookie and I usually avoid NSAIDS but there are several times a year sometimes a few times a month where I have to take something or I’m in agony all day and cannot sleep at night.

Super helpful as oils are one of the most controversial things. Thanks for pointing out the environmental hazards of some otherwise OK oils like palm.
