Treating an iron deficiency can be elusive and frustrating. That's particularly true for women who may have been misdiagnosed with depression and other chronic illnesses, until those low iron levels are finally picked up. Reged Ahmad speaks to health reporter Natasha May on why so many women have to wait years to find out what's wrong, and whether a new test could be the solution

Iron deficiencies are an important but often hidden issue – the most common mineral deficiency in the world. Not having enough iron in the body can lead to a range of health problems. Why is iron so important in the body? It's important for making red blood cells in our blood, which carries oxygen around the body. If we don't have enough iron, we don't produce enough red blood cells – we call this anaemia. It's also important for the immune system and growth and development in children. How does it affect us if we don't have enough iron on board? There are all sorts of symptoms that develop, the most common of which is feeling tired or fatigued. Headaches, feeling short of breath, and interesting things like hair loss or brittle nails, racing heart, or ‘feeling the cold'. You may just look ‘pale'. What causes it to happen? There are three big groups of causes: Blood loss over time. Commonest cause is women with heavy menstrual bleeding. Sometimes hidden blood loss in the gut can indicate a serious issue like bowel cancer – if concerned, we will investigate it. Not eating enough iron in our diet. That can be an issue especially for if you are vegetarian or vegan, as big source of iron is meat. Sometimes an issue for children. What we call ‘malabsorption'. Not absorbing iron through the stomach. Can be due to things like stomach bypass surgery for weight loss or some stomach infections. What can we do about it? It's important if you are feeling tried or run down you see your GP for a simple blood test, which will tell us if you're iron deficient. If there is an underlying cause like blood loss, it will be treated or we'll look for bowel issues. If you are iron deficient, diet is incredibly important. Obviously, meat or fish is an important source. If you are vegan or vegetarian making sure adjust your diet to include more iron – green leafy vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Fruit (Vitamin C) with meals as helps iron be absorbed. Be careful as tannins in coffee and tea stop iron being absorbed. Sometimes you do need iron supplements to boost your iron or occasionally an iron infusion at the GP to get your iron store back up. If you are concerned see your GP.

Send us a textIron deficiency affects as many as 40% of women of reproductive age, yet the problem often goes undetected—even when patients have symptoms and complications. On this episode, Dr. Blair Bigham and Dr. Mojola Omole speak with hematologists Dr. Michelle Scholzberg and Dr. Rita Selby about their structural solution to this pervasive problem: a province-wide change to how laboratories flag ferritin results. Their article, “Diagnosis and management of iron deficiency in females”, is published in CMAJ.Dr. Michelle Scholzberg, a hematologist and clinician scientist at St. Michael's Hospital and division director of Hematology at the University of Toronto, explains why iron deficiency without anemia is clinically important, how flawed reference standards and stigma around menstruation have contributed to underdiagnosis, why screening based on hemoglobin alone misses many patients and how structural barriers within medicine have long impeded timely detection and treatment. She outlines the evidence that drove a change to the clinical decision threshold for ferritin in Ontario laboratories and describes the movement that led to the changeDr. Rita Selby, an academic hematologist and medical director of the Ontario Laboratory Medicine Program at Ontario Health, describes how change was implemented across Ontario's major private labs. She clarifies the distinction between reference ranges and clinical decision limits, and how the shift helps clinicians identify subclinical iron deficiency earlier. She also discusses anticipated challenges, such as increased demand for treatment and the need for accessible knowledge translation tools.This episode exemplifies how making structural change in Canadian medicine can be difficult, but is possible with  grassroots advocacy and inter-institutional collaboration.For more information from our sponsor, go to MedicusPensionPlan.comJoin us as we explore medical solutions that address the urgent need to change healthcare.

Have you been told you have low iron? Or is this something you've been struggling with for months or years now? Even if it's not you personally, my guess is you know a sister, friend, mother or daughter who has at some point been ‘iron deficient'. But there is more to the story. Like many areas when it comes to reading blood tests, it's worth digging a bit deeper to really understand your results. You may not actually be deficient in the first place. Even if you have a true iron deficiency, chances are your treatment is not actually helping you. In today's chat we cover: The important factors to consider with diet and testing, in your preconception phase. The importance of optimal iron in your body for women and in pregnancy, how this supports your growing baby. How to check your iron levels through testing. If you're being told your levels are low, why you should take a second look at your blood test results . The real markers and levels to look for to check for an iron deficiency. The underlying causes to real iron deficiency in women. What an iron infusion is, the dose of iron included and the health implications of this therapy. Stephs steps to holistically prevent and overcome iron deficiency. The important cofactors to support your body's use of iron in your body.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 6-19, 2025: Dr. Dawn presents the VITAL study evidence showing 2,000 IU daily vitamin D prevents telomere shortening in immune cells, effectively slowing biological aging by three years. Groundbreaking mouse research reveals maternal iron deficiency can alter fetal sex development. When iron levels dropped 60%, the SYR gene controlling male development switched off, causing 6 of 39 XY offspring to develop ovaries instead of testes. Thus, mammalian sex can be influenced by environmental factors just like in amphibians and fish. Dr. Dawn connects this to gender identity questions, advocating supporting puberty blockers based on their 30-year safety record. Dr. Dawn advocates widespread CPR and AED training after describing a successful Buffalo airport rescue. With 350,000 annual out-of-hospital cardiac arrests and 90% fatality rates, immediate AED intervention can triple survival odds. She promotes the Pulsepoint app registering 185,000 AEDs and praises countries like Norway achieving 90% population CPR training through driver's license requirements. Post-Roe v. Wade data shows vasectomies doubled in men aged 19-26 while tubal ligations rose 70%, mostly in abortion-ban states. Dr. Dawn notes the irony that policies intended to increase births prompted widespread voluntary sterilization. Environmental concerns from January 2025 Moss Landing battery fire and LA wildfires highlight toxic contamination from burning lithium, plastics, and building materials. She advocates fire-resistant landscaping and home hardening, noting some fire-resistant homes survived while surroundings burned. British research shows pet ownership provides life satisfaction equivalent to $90,000 annual income boost. Dr. Dawn experiences this firsthand, noting pets provide family-like benefits without complex interpersonal dynamics. Sleep study reveals 15 minutes additional nightly sleep improves cognitive performance in tweens. Children sleeping 7.25 versus 7.10 hours showed better academics and larger brain volumes, though Dr. Dawn questions causation versus correlation. Mayo Clinic identified Interleukin-23 as a reliable cellular senescence biomarker across multiple tissues. Natural compounds like quercetin, fisetin, and luteolin can reduce these aging markers, supporting her dietary supplementation philosophy.

Episode #189 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community: I've been fasting for six months and was surprised to discover on my annual screening that I am in the early stages of iron deficiency. I am post-menopausal, typically eat red meat twice a week, and fast twice a week. I have been restricting my protein intake but have been taking iron supplements. Should I take iron supplements when I am fasting and are there other things I should consider with fasting as a way of life? [02:03] I recently found out I have high histamine, either from diet and/or not being able to process it. I was wondering if longer fasts, say over 24 hours, would help to get rid of high histamine and settle my body down? [05:37] I can physically feel when I am losing weight. I feel a mild tingling on the back of my thighs and glutes. It doesn't really bother me and I look forward to the sensation as I know I am headed in the right direction. Is there a name for this sensation and is it a cellular, biochemical function? I like to think of it as fat cells dissolving! [09:41]  What are your thoughts on dry fasting? [12:58]  What is the allowable ketone level while fasting for two to three days (on a strict ketogenic/carnivore diet), and at what level should you break your fast? [15:36] If you have a lot of weight to lose and a lot of extra skin, how much dietary protein do you *really* need to eat during your meals? Don't you want your body to scavenge that extra protein? Does it make a difference to fast with water, salt, and magnesium only, as opposed to using fasting aids such as bone broth? [17:47] How does fasting affect blood circulation? [20:16] Please can you explain the difference between autophagy and chaperone autophagy? [21:30] Can you please explain what is happening when you take vinegar to reduce the impact of blood sugar spikes after eating? [23:02] I don't seem to be able to get beyond 50 hours when doing longer fasts. Is there a reason for this or is it just that 50 hours is my sweet spot when it comes to fasting?
