Welcome to the VitaLife show I'm doctor Janine Bowring
and today's topic is all about the symptoms of
iron deficiency very very common
and why it's best to take a whole food iron supplement which is
you know really really difficult to find on market place but now we got one
so I'll tell you all about that please stay tuned right to the end of the video

so who does this effect now mostly in my practice over the years I've seen
that women are mostly affected by having a low iron levels
not to say that man as well can have an iron deficiency problem
but women because we're menstrual cycles having babies pregnancy we tend to have
more on this
issue with having a low iron level and
unfortunately parasite so people don't put that linked together
chronic low iron levels can very much be linked to parasites and having parasites
in the intestines especially
that are robbing you of your iron. Eating your iron for you
to survive so that's one thing that often misdiagnosed
undiagnosed and we keep supplementing it with iron but we're not looking at the
root cause could be those parasites that are causing in the first place
so what are the symptoms how would you know that your iron
is deficient. Well first and foremost fatigue so you're tired all the time
maybe your pale so whether that's in your skin you just look pale
the nail beds could also so when you press down on your nail
of course not without nail polish and you press down and when you let
go we should see that blood flow comes right back
if you are iron deficient then it doesn't come back as quickly as it
should
you can also look under your eyes so if you actually look
under eye if you look at that tissue there should be pink
if it's not pink if its very pale telltale sign of
iron deficiency maybe have brittle nails
your hair could be falling out again your iron could be low
restless leg syndrome so a study was done actually fifteen percent
of people who had restless leg syndrome also had
chronic anemia so a low iron level it could be to you that you have
irritability and anxious and these are signs that your iron could be
low
as well as shortness of breath so when you walk up stairs
do you get outta breath this could be your iron level as well as your blood
pressure so slow
blood pressure and you may know this if you're sitting or lying down and you get
out quickly
and you feel kinda dizzy that's a sign of low blood pressure this could be
related to your low iron levels as well
now do you have a chronic low thyroid maybe your medicated for your thyroid
and this could be because you're iron is deficient
and because the iron deficiency actually slows down
the proper functioning of the thyroid glands so something
to check out because you know you could have difficulty losing weight
your thyroid could be low and that's because you're iron levels are low
headache so not having enough oxygenation
to the brain and of course we know that iron help to carry oxygen in the blood
stream
not getting enough that oxygenation to the brain can cause those headaches so
do you have chronic headaches ask yourself
it's not normal to have headaches ever so what is the root cause and you know
the naturopath we're always looking at the root cause as to why something is
happening in the body
and then treating it naturally so one of the greatest ways to treat
of course to take iron but not all iron supplements are created equal if
you've been prescribed an iron supplement by your doctor
you know if we may think it's natural not natural
synthetically made and unfortunately often very very hard on the stomach
causing constipation stomach pains and a lot of people just can't tolerate
