Feeling exhausted despite eating iron-rich foods? The mystery of persistent iron deficiency unfolds in this week's episode where we challenge the conventional wisdom about nutrition. The truth isn't just what you eat, but what your body actually absorbs.This flashback episode returns due to popular demand as more clients struggle with persistent iron deficiency despite seemingly doing everything right. As a naturopath and clinical nutritionist with a special interest in perimenopause I've observed that most iron deficiency cases aren't simply about intake—they're about absorption barriers that silently sabotage your nutrient levels.Discover how everyday habits secretly block iron absorption: the surprising impact of scrolling through your phone while eating, why stress redirects blood flow away from your digestive system, and the shocking competition between your morning coffee and iron supplements. You'll learn why tannins in coffee, tea, and red wine effectively block iron receptors for up to two hours, potentially explaining why your iron levels remain low despite supplementation.Beyond these hidden barriers, we explore the crucial synergy between vitamin C and iron absorption, why inflammation from even mild food intolerances compromises nutrient uptake, and simple strategies to optimise your iron status. This knowledge transforms not just how you approach iron deficiency, but your entire relationship with nutrition—moving from "you are what you eat" to the more accurate "you are what you absorb."Whether you're navigating perimenopause, menopause, or simply feeling depleted, these practical insights will help you finally address the root causes of iron deficiency rather than just treating symptoms.

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?

Without proper absorption, even the best iron-rich foods or supplements won't have the desired impact on your iron levels. In this episode, I dive into the importance of iron absorption and how you can improve your body's ability to absorb this essential mineral. In this episode, I discuss:How iron is absorbed in the body and the key factors that support optimal absorption.The importance of stomach acid in iron absorption and the common factors that can negatively impact stomach acid levels.Why taking iron every day may not be the best approach for everyone.The significance of choosing the right form of iron in a supplement and why more iron isn't always better.Why individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are more prone to iron deficiency and what to consider for proper management.The difference between haem and non-haem sources of iron, and how to make sure you're getting enough from your diet. If you've been struggling with low iron levels despite taking supplements or eating iron-rich foods, this episode will help you understand what might be going wrong and give you practical tips to support your body's iron absorption.Episode Links: Download our free Kids Gut Health e-bookBook an appointment with one of our NaturopathsEpisode 113: Iron Deficiency in Children Episode 141: Exploring the Connection Between Fussy Eating, Constipation, and Iron Deficiency in ChildrenThis episode is proudly sponsored by my membership, the Natural Super Kids Klub.
