🌿 My Low Iron Journey – What My Body Was Trying to Tell Me

I used to think exhaustion was just part of being a busy woman. I was always cold, craving ice (yes, chewing ice cubes like candy), and felt foggy no matter how much I slept. It wasn’t until a routine checkup that I learned my iron levels were dangerously low—I was anemic.

At first, I brushed it off. But as symptoms piled up—hair thinning, brittle nails, shortness of breath, and extreme fatigue—I knew something deeper was going on.

What caused it? A mix of things: ✨ Heavy periods

✨ Not absorbing iron well (even when I ate spinach + red meat)

✨ Drinking coffee or tea too close to meals (which blocks iron absorption!)

✨ A mostly plant-based diet without balancing it with iron-rich pairings

I had no idea that even stress can deplete your mineral levels. My body was speaking—I just wasn’t listening yet.

Now, I support my iron with: 🩸 Energy Plus from Eathly wellness

🍋 Vitamin C-rich foods to boost absorption

🌿 Herbal tinctures & teas that nourish blood health

🥦 Cooking with cast iron pans (yep—it actually helps!)

The biggest lesson? Your fatigue is not “normal.” Listen to your body. Iron plays a huge role in how we show up in our lives, and healing doesn’t just start in the doctor’s office—it starts with awareness.
