According to a lot of the anecdotal evidence I´ve heard if your iron is low it can be very hard to raise it just from diet and you may need to supplement.@Lokzo had a really useful experience with this. Could you let us know how you safely raised your ferritin Lucas?
My last blood test my ferritin had dropped by like 30+% since using aspirin/antibiotics/blood donations and my hair had thinned a very noticeable amount. Extremely concerning, I’ve dropped taking those but I now want a way to raise my ferritin back up without supplementing iron. For whatever reason plenty of red meat isn’t raising it and I have no idea why. I hope you get some answers here :)
Matt blackburn had a long podcast discussing iron deficiency with a Caitlyn Hartigan, a women who suffered anemia for years and developed a protocol to replenish iron levels healthily. At 1:37:02 she discusses why some people will need to supplement and diet alone will not be enough.
