Podcasts about Ferritin

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Elizabeth: Hi Dr Cabral! Thank you for your informative podcast. I searched in past episodes & didn't find the answer to my question so I thought I'd write in. I'm a 49 year old woman & had bloodwork done for the first time a little over a year ago. Everything looked good except my ferritin was low at 9. For the next 12 months I took iron supplements 2-3 times a week & started eating more iron rich foods including red meat & beef liver pills. When ferritin was tested again it was only up to an 11. My PCP is now recommending I get an iron infusion. Are these safe? What might be the root cause of my low ferritin? I'm still menstruating but have never been heavy. I eat a balanced diet including meat & always have. I exercise 4-5x/ week. Could this just be genetic? Should I be concerned? Thx, Elizabeth            Carrieann: Hi Dr Cabral! I love listening to your podcasts. I have a rare disease called Mastocytosis. Do you have any recommendations for natural supplements that might help. I am currently taking vitamin C and Quercitin and it they do help. I would love to improve my gut but I am a little confused on how to go about doing that when I need to keep histamines low and all the things like probiotics, kimchi, bone broth are all high histamine. Thank you for your help!!                                                 Darren: Good day Dr. Cabral. I recently got diagnosed with folliculitis and eczema by a dermatologist who stated it was spurred by my skin reacting to my many sauna sessions and regular dry brushing. Unfortunate, cause I enjoy both. I abhored the idea, but the doctor recommended doxycycline antibiotics and mupirocin topical cream which did stem the constant itching, redness, flaking. I've no noticeable side effects from medication. What do you suggest I use post medication to ensure healthy gut and it reoccurring? I was thinking maybe the clean gut probiotic or daily detox. Keep up good work.                                                                                                                                                                                          Darren: Good day, Dr Cabral. It's me again. I asked this months ago, but never got a response. Maybe question got lost or your team pulled it given it can be perceived as controversial. I appreciate your Mindset & Motivational Monday shows and all the teachings from Dispenza etc about not stressing but focusing and living in the moment. However, how does one adhere to those practices if they were living in say a conflict zone where things are beyond their control like Congo, Palestine, Sudan? Where food isn't guaranteed but constant attacks are? I get if you choose not to answer on air. Keep up good work.                                                                                                                                                                                         Sheena: Hi Dr. C! Hope you are well. After doing a Food Sensitivity test, my results showed I'm allergic to cows milk dairy. Which, I already knew for years because every time I eat dairy, like clockwork, 2-3 days later, I'd break out really bad. And even though it only takes 2-3 days to happens, it takes me at least 4+ weeks to start to clear up. My question is, would it help if I were to take a Lactaid or a dairy intolerance pill? It seems that most of those pills help with gas and bloating, which I don't get. I just get really bad acne. But was hoping that I could take this before eating a meal that I'm not 100% sure about to prevent break outs. If not Lactaid, is there a pill you could recommend that could help? Thank you so much for answering my question and for being my health GURU! :)         Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3452 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Episode 198: Fatigue.  Future doctors Redden and Ibrahim discuss with Dr. Arreaza the different causes of fatigue, including physical and mental illnesses. Dr. Arreaza describes the steps to evaluate fatigue. Some common misconceptions are explained, such as vitamin D deficiency and “chronic Lyme disease”. Written by Michael Ibrahim, MSIV, and Jordan Redden, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MDYou are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Dr. Arreaza: Today is a great day to talk about fatigue. It is one of the most common and most complex complaints we see in primary care. It involves physical, mental, and emotional health. So today, we're walking through a case, breaking down causes, red flags, and how to work it up without ordering the entire lab catalog.Michael:Case: This is a 34-year-old female who comes in saying, "I've been feeling drained for the past 3 months." She says she's been sleeping 8 hours a night but still wakes up tired. No recent illnesses, no weight loss, fever, or night sweats. She denies depression or anxiety but does report a lot of work stress and taking care of her two little ones at home. She drinks 2 cups of coffee a day, doesn't drink alcohol, and doesn't use drugs. No medications, just a multivitamin. Regular menstrual cycles—but she's noticed they've been heavier recently.Jordan:Fatigue is a persistent sense of exhaustion that isn't relieved by rest. It's different from sleepiness or muscle weakness.Classification based on timeline:    •   Acute fatigue: less than 1 month    •   Subacute: 1 to 6 months    •   Chronic: more than 6 monthsThis patient's case is subacute—going on 3 months now.Dr. Arreaza:And we can think about fatigue in types:    •   Physical fatigue: like muscle tiredness after activity    •   Mental fatigue: trouble concentrating or thinking clearly (physical + mental when you are a medical student or resident)    •    Pathological fatigue: which isn't proportional to effort and doesn't get better with restAnd of course, there's chronic fatigue syndrome, also called myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), which is a diagnosis of exclusion after 6 months of disabling fatigue with other symptoms.Michael:The differential is massive. So, we can also group it by systems.Jordan:Let's run through the big ones.Endocrine / Metabolic Causes    • Hypothyroidism: A classic cause of fatigue. Often associated with cold intolerance, weight gain, dry skin, and constipation. May be subtle and underdiagnosed, especially in women.    • Diabetes Mellitus: Both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia can cause fatigue. Look for polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, or blurry vision in undiagnosed diabetes.    • Adrenal Insufficiency: Think of this when fatigue is paired with hypotension, weight loss, salt craving, or hyperpigmentation. Can be primary (Addison's) or secondary (e.g., due to long-term steroid use).Michael: Hematologic Causes    • Anemia (especially iron deficiency): Very common, especially in menstruating women. Look for fatigue with pallor, shortness of breath on exertion, and sometimes pica (craving non-food items).     • Vitamin B12 or Folate Deficiency: B12 deficiency may present with fatigue plus neurologic symptoms like numbness, tingling, or gait issues. Folate deficiency tends to present with megaloblastic anemia and fatigue.    • Anemia of Chronic Disease: Seen in patients with chronic inflammatory conditions like RA, infections, or CKD. Typically mild, normocytic, and improves when the underlying disease is treated.Michael: Psychiatric Causes    • Depression: A major driver of fatigue, often underreported. May include anhedonia, sleep disturbance, appetite changes, or guilt. Sometimes presents with only somatic complaints.    • Anxiety Disorders: Mental fatigue, poor sleep quality, and hypervigilance can leave patients feeling constantly drained.    • Burnout Syndrome: Especially common in caregivers, healthcare workers, and educators. Emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment are key features.Jordan: Infectious Causes    • Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV):Mononucleosis is a well-known cause of fatigue, sometimes lasting weeks. May also have sore throat, lymphadenopathy, and splenomegaly.    • HIV:Consider it in high-risk individuals. Fatigue can be an early sign, along with weight loss, recurrent infections, or night sweats.    • Hepatitis (B or C):Can present with chronic fatigue, especially if liver enzymes are elevated. Screen at-risk individuals.    • Post-viral Syndromes / Long COVID:Fatigue that lingers for weeks or months after viral infection. Often, it includes brain fog, muscle aches, and post-exertional malaise.Important: Chronic Lyme disease is a controversial term without a consistent clinical definition and is often used to describe patients with persistent, nonspecific symptoms not supported by objective evidence of Lyme infection. Leading medical organizations reject the term and instead recognize "post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome" (PTLDS) for persistent symptoms following confirmed, treated Lyme disease, emphasizing that prolonged antibiotic therapy is not effective. Research shows no benefit—and potential harm—from extended antibiotic use, and patients with unexplained chronic symptoms should be thoroughly evaluated for other possible diagnoses.Michael: Cardiopulmonary Causes    •   Congestive Heart Failure (CHF): Fatigue from poor perfusion and low cardiac output. Often comes with dyspnea on exertion, edema, and orthopnea.    •   Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Look for a smoking history, chronic cough, and fatigue from hypoxia or the work of breathing.    •   Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA): Daytime fatigue despite adequate hours of sleep. Patients may snore, gasp, or report morning headaches. High suspicion in obese or hypertensive patients.Jordan:Autoimmune / Inflammatory Causes    •   Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): Fatigue is often an early symptom. May also see rash, arthritis, photosensitivity, or renal involvement.    •   Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA): Fatigue from systemic inflammation. Morning stiffness, joint pain, and elevated inflammatory markers point to RA.    •   Fibromyalgia: A chronic pain syndrome with widespread tenderness, fatigue, nonrestorative sleep, and sometimes cognitive complaints ("fibro fog").Cancer / Malignancy    •   Leukemia, lymphoma, or solid tumors: Fatigue can be the first symptom, often accompanied by weight loss, night sweats, or unexplained fevers. Consider when no other cause is evident.Michael:Medications:Common culprits include:    ◦   Beta-blockers: Can slow heart rate too much.    ◦   Antihistamines: Sedating H1 blockers like diphenhydramine.    ◦   Sedatives or sleep aids: Can cause grogginess and daytime sedation.    •   Substance Withdrawal: Fatigue can be seen in withdrawal from alcohol, opioids, or stimulants. Caffeine withdrawal, though mild, can also contribute.Dr. Arreaza:Whenever we evaluate fatigue, we need to keep an eye out for red flags. These should raise suspicion for something more serious:    •   Unintentional weight loss    •   Night sweats    •   Persistent fever    •   Neurologic symptoms    •   Lymphadenopathy    •   Jaundice    •   Palpitations or chest painThis patient doesn't have these—but that doesn't mean we stop here.Dr. Arreaza:Those are a lot of causes, we can evaluate fatigue following 7 steps:Characterize the fatigue.Look for organic illness.Evaluate medications and substances.Perform psychiatric screening.Ask questions about quantity and quality of sleep.Physical examination.Undertake investigations.So, students, do we send the whole lab panel?Michael:Not necessarily. Labs should be guided by history and physical. But here's a good initial panel:    •   CBC: To check for anemia or infection    • TSH: Screen for hypothyroidism    • CMP: Look at electrolytes, kidney, and liver function    • Ferritin and iron studies    • B12, folate    • ESR/CRP for inflammation (not specific)    • HbA1c if diabetes is on the radarJordan:And if needed, consider:    • HIV, EBV, hepatitis panel    • ANA, RF    • Cortisol or ACTH stimulation testImaging? Now that's rare—unless there are specific signs. Like chest X-ray for possible cancer or TB, or sleep study if you suspect OSA.Dr. Arreaza:Unaddressed fatigue isn't just inconvenient. It can impact on quality of life, affect job performance, lead to mood disorders, delay diagnosis of serious illness, increase risk of accidents—especially driving. So, don't ignore your patients with fatigue!Jordan:And some people—like women, caregivers, or shift workers—are especially at risk.Michael:The cornerstone of treatment is addressing the underlying cause.Jordan:If it's iron-deficiency anemia—treat it. If it's depression—get mental health involved. But there's also: Lifestyle Support: Better sleep hygiene, light physical activity, mindfulness or CBT for stress, balanced nutrition—especially iron and protein, limit caffeine and alcoholDr. Arreaza:Sometimes medications help—but rarely. And for chronic fatigue syndrome, the current best strategies are graded exercise therapy and CBT, along with managing specific symptoms. Beta-alanine has potential to modestly improve muscular endurance and reduce fatigue in older adults, but more high-quality research is needed.SSRI: fluoxetine and sertraline. Iron supplements: Even without anemia, but low ferritin [Anecdote about low ferritin patient]Jordan:This case reminds us to take fatigue seriously. In her case, it may be multifactorial—work stress, caregiving burden, and possibly iron-deficiency anemia. So, how would we wrap up this conversation, Michael?Michael:We don't need to order everything under the sun. A focused history and exam, targeted labs, and being alert to red flags can guide us.Jordan:And don't forget the basics—sleep, stress, and nutrition. These are just as powerful as any prescription.Dr. Arreaza:We hope today's episode on fatigue has given you a clear framework and some practical tips. If you enjoyed this episode, share it and subscribe for more evidence-based medicine!Jordan:Take care—and get some rest~___________________________Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Have you been told your labs are ‘normal' — but you're still exhausted, losing hair, and struggling to feel like yourself in perimenopause? I've been there too. And what I discovered was that most doctors aren't running the right labs — especially when it comes to iron.In this episode of The Period Whisperer, I'm breaking down the 4 iron markers every woman in midlife needs to have tested (but probably hasn't): Ferritin, Serum Iron, TIBC, and Iron Saturation. These markers tell the real story behind symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, thyroid issues, hair loss, and even weight gain — and they're often missed in standard bloodwork.Here's what you'll walk away with: ✔️ A clear understanding of what each iron marker means and why it matters in perimenopause ✔️ What low or high iron levels reveal about your hormones, metabolism, and energy ✔️ How to test smarter, support your body with food and lifestyle, and avoid common mistakes with iron supplementsIf you're doing all the “right things” and still not feeling better, this episode could be the missing link you've been looking for. Let's get to the root cause — so you can finally thrive in this chapter of your life.Ready To Learn More About Functional Hormone Coaching & Testing Or Book A FREE Call With Me?

Hair in the drain. A widening part. Thinning at the temples. You've tried the shampoo. The supplements. The serums. But nothing's working. What if the real reason your hair is falling out… has nothing to do with your hair at all? In today's episode of Autoimmune Simplified, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood symptoms of autoimmune conditions: hair loss. What's really causing it? Why are traditional solutions missing the mark? And what's the one lab marker that's often labeled “normal” but quietly sabotaging your hair regrowth?  If you've ever been told, “It's just aging,” or “It's cosmetic,” this episode will change the way you see your symptoms. We're covering: What autoimmune inflammation does to your hair cycle The misunderstood lab test that might hold the key to regrowth Why hormone shifts in perimenopause and menopause amplify shedding How your nervous system and stress hormones secretly drive hair loss Plus: What you need to know about that “normal” iron level (hint: it's not so normal).

Schau dir das vollständige Video Interview auf YouTube anYouTube Kanal gleich abonnieren und keine neue Folge mehr verpassenZusammenfassungChristina erklärt, warum Standard-Referenzbereiche für Laborwerte oft irreführend sind, da sie nicht zwingend eine gesunde Population abbilden. Werte sollten immer im Kontext individueller Symptome betrachtet werden, wobei bei Vitaminen/Mineralstoffen oft der obere Normbereich anzustreben ist.Wir besprechen oft übersehene, aber kritische Werte: HOMA-Index (Insulinresistenz-Früherkennung, oft besser als HbA1c!), Homocystein (B-Vitamine, Methylierung) und eine umfassende Schilddrüsen-Diagnostik (mehr als nur TSH: fT3, fT4, Antikörper, rT3). Christina betont die richtige Messmethode: Bei Mineralstoffen (Mg, Zn, B6) ist Vollblut oft aussagekräftiger als Serum, um die zelluläre Versorgung zu prüfen. Auch bei B12 sind HoloTC/MMA dem Serumwert vorzuziehen.Fokus Schilddrüse: Häufige Ursachen (Stress, Nährstoffmängel, Darm, Toxine) und wichtige Parameter für eine gute Diagnostik werden erklärt, inkl. optimaler Wertebereiche (z.B. TSH kleiner 1,5, fT4 größer 1,2, fT3 größer 3,0).Darmgesundheit: Sinnvolle Parameter einer Stuhlanalyse (Flora, pH, sIgA, Calprotectin, Zonulin, Verdauungsrückstände) werden beleuchtet – weniger ist oft mehr als Tests mit hunderten Stämmen.Abschließend empfiehlt Christina ein Basislaborpanel für die jährliche Prävention – eine wichtige Investition in die eigene Gesundheit. Proaktives Gesundheitsmanagement durch gezielte Messungen ist der Schlüssel.Naturecan CBD-Öl: Dein natürlicher Begleiter für Balance.Als Coach empfehle ich dieses Bio-Breitspektrum-CBD-Öl (10%) zur Unterstützung bei Stress, Schlafproblemen und zum Abschalten.

Send us a textWhat if the crushing fatigue, the anxiety, the brain fog, and the constant crying aren't mental health issues at all—but signs your client's body is depleted and screaming for help? The truth is; Postpartum depression  symptoms mimic postpartum iron deficiencies and postpartum anemia. This episode takes a bold look at one of the most underdiagnosed, misunderstood, and easily missed causes of postpartum “depression”: anemia. We're breaking down how iron deficiency, B12, and folate depletion can mimic mental illness in postpartum women, and how so many providers are missing the signs. If you're a postpartum provider, doula, midwife, nurse, or any practitioner supporting postpartum women—you cannot afford to overlook this conversation. We're talking labs, clinical clues, testing gaps, and holistic strategies to support deep, root-cause healing.Check out the episode on the blog: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/is-it-postpartum-depression-or-postpartum-anemia-ep-212/Key Time Stamps: 00:00 – The misdiagnosis of postpartum depression01:40 – What is anemia, and how is it connected to postpartum?03:19 – Overlapping symptoms of anemia and depression06:05 – Ferritin levels and common signs of deficiency07:27 – Maranda's personal story of missed anemia09:23 – Why most checkups aren't helping moms10:43 – What labs to run + strategies for healing13:09 – Iron absorption + practical supplementation tools15:00 – Signs to look for when “depression” isn't depression15:35 – MTHFR, genetics, and what really matters16:36 – Empowering providers to support real postpartum healingNEXT STEPS:

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Did you know you could get medical advice in the self checkout line in the grocery store? It is amazing where people seek advise and from whom they seek it.  With today's lack of trust in the medical industry, I cannot blame them.  I hope to provide some truthful health information in my podcasts.  Thank you for taking a listen. What was the fork in the road for your change in health trajectory?  My family history lead me to medicine, but it was a podcast on running that inspired me to change my practice.   My first marathon was to raise money for the American Diabetes Association to "find a cure".  It was changing my practice that lead to my practice success in treating diabetes.  Running has been a positive influence on my physical and mental health.  They say when you finish a marathon or an Ironman triathlon that you are changed.  It is true, but the 100 mile ultramarathon took all of that up a notch.  I will share a few stories about people in my practice that have had their own experience and others who continue to struggle.  The only difference is mindset.   I get asked frequently about supplements.  Today I will review iron and hyaluronic acid supplements.  Take a listen.  If you would like information on how to join our practice, check out the website at https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Email me: jami@doctordulaney.com Dietitian consultations: addie@doctordulaney.com Strength training: Nathan@doctordulaney.com Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney

DATA: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles... The Most Powerful Antioxidant (Melatonin) ▶️ • The MOST POWERFUL Antioxidant Is Mela... Did you know that too much iron can decrease longevity? Your body makes hydrogen peroxide that is used by the immune system to kill microbes. When hydrogen peroxide combines with iron, it can cause serious cellular damage. People with iron-deficiency anemia often have dysfunctional iron, which means it's unavailable to the red blood cells. This could be why we are not seeing a decrease in anemia even though we've increased iron in the food supply. Iron overload may increase your risk for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cancer, heart disease, and more. Excess iron causes oxidative stress and increases inflammation. As we age, we naturally accumulate more iron. Around 70% of our iron is stored in protein in the blood that helps carry oxygen. Ferritin should be inside your tissues to protect you from free iron and control when iron is released. This very efficient system recycles iron in the body. Certain pathogens, microbes, and infections use iron as fuel. This is why the body protects free iron. Some people feel better after donating blood, indicating they have too much iron. Too much iron without enough copper is a big problem. If you think you have this problem, limit iron exposure before taking a copper supplement. Iron is found in enriched flours, grains, and refined carbohydrate products. Shellfish, organ meats, sunflower seeds, and dark chocolate are good sources of copper. To combat oxidative damage caused by iron and other factors like alcohol, smoking, pollution, and junk foods, you'll want to build up your antioxidant reserve. Glutamine found in red meat is vital, but protein is the most important! It's especially important to consume enough protein as you get older. Zinc, manganese, magnesium, and selenium can increase antioxidant networks to help you regulate excess iron. Quercetin, curcumin, black tea, and increasing melatonin are also very beneficial. Lactoferrin is the most powerful chelator for iron. It's found naturally in dairy and can be taken as a supplement.

In this episode of Longevity by Design, our host Dr. Gil Blander welcomes Dr. Renee Deehan and Nimisha Schneider from InsideTracker to discuss the role of personalized health and the advancements made through data science and artificial intelligence. Dr. Deehan elaborates on her background in molecular biology and how she transitioned to computational biology, emphasizing the importance of integrating large-scale biological data to develop high-resolution molecular models of diseases.Nimisha Schneider shares her journey from basic immunology research to computational biology, highlighting the significance of building mathematical models to understand biological scenarios better. She explains how InsideTracker uses AI and machine learning to analyze users' blood biomarkers, genetic data, and fitness tracker information to provide personalized health recommendations. The discussion includes the integration of over 7,000 clinical studies into InsideTracker's AI engine, Segterra X, to offer tailored advice based on individual health data.The conversation dives into the findings from a recently submitted study involving 20,000 users, showing significant improvements in key health markers like LDL cholesterol, A1c, and ApoB over several years. Dr. Deehan and Schneider stress the importance of lifestyle changes and sustained efforts to achieve long-term health benefits. They also discuss the challenges posed by genetic predispositions and how personalized recommendations can help mitigate these risks. The episode concludes with insights into future research directions and the continuous development of personalized health solutions at InsideTracker. Key InsightsPersonalized Health Interventions Show Sustained ImprovementsA study involving 20,000 users of InsideTracker demonstrated that personalized health interventions correlate with significant and sustained improvements in key health markers. Users who followed personalized recommendations for nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes saw notable reductions in LDL cholesterol, A1c, ApoB, and many other biomarkers related to healthspan. These improvements were observed over several years, indicating the long-term efficacy of personalized health plans. The data suggests that consistent adherence to tailored health recommendations can help manage and even reverse risk factors associated with chronic diseases. This underscores the potential of digital health platforms to drive lasting positive health outcomes.Genetic Risk Influences Health OutcomesThe study explored the relationship between genetic risk scores and health outcomes, particularly focusing on cholesterol levels and metabolic health. Users with higher genetic risk for high LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol, or Ferritin levels found it more challenging to improve these markers compared to those with lower genetic risk. Despite the genetic predisposition, significant improvements were still achievable with persistent lifestyle changes. This highlights the importance of understanding one's genetic risk as a factor in personal health management and the potential benefits of personalized interventions in overcoming genetic disadvantages. It also emphasizes that genetics is not a definitive determinant, and lifestyle changes can substantially mitigate genetic risks.Activity Levels Correlate with Health ImprovementsAnalysis of fitness tracker data revealed that increased physical activity, measured via step count, was a key differentiator between users who successfully improved their health markers and those who did not. On average, users who increased their daily step count to around 11,000 steps showed significant improvements in cholesterol levels. In contrast, those who maintained lower activity levels saw less progress. Additionally, higher quality sleep, particularly increased REM sleep, was associa

Dr. Dunning is a fearless researcher currently deeply involved in understanding the biochemical and structural relationships inside the human body to prevent illness, slow senescence and regenerate tissue with existing body systems that have not been used to their fullest. He studies life extension. Currently he's writing his third book on the subject of life extension that looks at the intimate relationship of Iron overloading in the mitochondrial matrix and copper deficiency that exacerbates that relationship. It is evident that diet is a keystone in that arch and the correct human diet is animal based. He believes that what goes on between the mouth and the mitochondrial membrane determines our victory in maintaining health. He follows Mark Twain's thinking about the scientific method in that "I was educated once; it took me years to get over it." Skepticism is the key to learning in his view. His expertise is in regenerative medicine practicing a Hippocratic method; employing food, or restricting food to improve mitochondrial health and ATP output. He is also a promoter of animal products as an optimal food source based on our early development as large brained hominids from the adoption of eating bone marrow and meat scraps from large predator kills 4 million years ago. He is the author of two books, one on dry fasting called "The Phoenix Protocol" and one on exercise for preventing sarcopenia and osteopenia titled "Neogenesis."

A 25-year-old woman comes to the office due to fatigue and dizziness for the past several months. She works as a nurse and finds it increasingly difficult to complete her shifts. The patient reports heavy menstrual periods lasting 7-8 days each month. She has no significant medical history and is not on any medications. Blood pressure is 100/60 mm Hg and pulse is 75/min. BMI is 22 kg/m². Physical examination reveals pale conjunctivae and spoon-shaped nails. Hemoglobin is 8.5 g/dL. Which of the following sets of additional laboratory findings is most likely to be seen in this patient? A. Low ferritin, high TIBC, low serum iron B. High ferritin, low TIBC, high serum iron C. Low ferritin, low TIBC, high serum iron D. High ferritin, high TIBC, low serum iron E. Low ferritin, high TIBC, high serum iron Answer and topic summary The answer is A.  Low ferritin, high TIBC, low serum iron The most likely additional laboratory findings in this patient are low ferritin, high total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and low serum iron, which are indicative of iron deficiency anemia. Her history of heavy menstrual periods and symptoms of fatigue and pallor suggest chronic blood loss leading to iron deficiency. Ferritin is a marker of iron stores, and low levels indicate depletion of iron reserves. High TIBC reflects increased capacity of the blood to bind iron due to low iron levels.

They also promote the upcoming Carnivore Conference and provide information about their personal coaching services. In response to a question about the benefits of marrow fat, it has been found that it is a good source of energy and has an endocrine function. It also contains stem cells and is good for bone and cartilage health. Calcium is essential for the body and can be found in all meats, so there is no need to prioritize it in the diet. However, excessive amounts of calcium could potentially be dangerous. In this podcast, Stephen and Richard discuss common questions and concerns about carnivore eating, such as what foods to eat, how to handle weight gain or weight loss on the diet, and how the body may go through a healing process when transitioning to carnivore. They also answer questions about specific health issues, such as colon polyps and low triglyceride levels, and offer advice on how to maintain weight on a carnivore diet.Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body. A high ferritin level can be caused by inflammation or infection, not just high iron intake. The poster should get a more complete iron test panel to understand their levels. Reverse dieting is more important for carb-based bodybuilders, as they restrict their diets for competitions. There are many reasons for anemia, not just low iron, but symptoms and appearance are important too, so more info from the poster would be useful.

Hypothyroid patients classically have low ferritin and other low iron levels - just another negative side effect of undiagnosed, untreated, or mistreated hypothyroidism. Iron provides life-affirming oxygen to organ systems through its role in red cell production. Iron is an essential protein component for metabolism (low iron levels often go hand in hand with low B12 results). Without adequate iron, muscles lose their tone and elasticity. Low iron can compromise brain function: oxygen supply in the blood is assisted by iron, and the brain uses approximately 20% of the blood oxygen. Proper flow of blood in the brain stimulates cognitive activity. Visit Elle Russ.com to learn more.   SELECTED LINKS: https://www.elleruss.com/

In this episode I turn my focus to a critical yet often underestimated aspect of health: iron, specifically ferritin levels. With the guidance of Caitlyn Hartigan, an expert in The Iron Protocol, we explore the multifaceted role of iron in the body and the widespread implications of its deficiency. As our discussion unfolds, it becomes evident how essential iron is, not only for basic physiological functions but also for overall vitality. Caitlyn provides a deep dive into why symptoms associated with iron deficiency are frequently overlooked and how standard medical tests can fail to identify the issue.
