How To Health Podcast With Laurie Marbas, Md, Mba

In this podcast, I discuss the importance of ferritin levels, especially for women experiencing fatigue, hair loss, or restless leg syndrome. I explain that ferritin is a protein that stores iron and can indicate low iron levels, even if the red blood cell count appears normal. I recommend getting ferritin levels tested and mention that research has shown iron supplementation to be effective in reducing fatigue and hair loss. I also talk about a potential link between low iron stores and anxiety/depression. For restless leg syndrome, a higher ferritin level is recommended, with 75 being optimal. I highlight the importance of investigating the underlying cause of low iron stores and mention possible factors such as heavy periods, renal failure, or poor iron absorption.
