Iron is essential for oxygen, energy, and brain function, but it’s not just about topping up your stores.

To truly heal, we need to ask why your iron is low in the first place.

Here are a few things we look at when assessing WHY your have iron deficiency:
-Blood loss – heavy periods, fibroids, or postnatal depletion
-Gut health – coeliac disease, SIBO, or poor absorption
-Dietary intake – are you eating enough heme and non-heme iron sources?
-Inflammation – chronic inflammation can block iron absorption

Once we identify the why, we build a treatment plan that supports your digestion, corrects deficiencies, and restores long-term energy.
Because who wants to be told “take some iron tablets.” over and over again!

Has you GP ever investigated any of the above to determine WHY your iron is low?

If you’ve tried over-the-counter iron supplements and still feel exhausted… you’re not imagining it.
Many common iron supplements — like ferrous sulphate (think that little red capped bottle) — contain iron doses that are too high for the body to absorb effectively.
When the dose is too high, the body reduces absorption, and side effects like constipation, nausea, and bloating become more common.

Here’s what’s important to know
✅ Lower-dose, highly absorbable forms of iron (like iron bisglycinate or iron polymaltose) are often much better tolerated.
✅ Research shows iron is best taken every second day, not daily. This allows your body’s absorption mechanism (hepcidin) to reset between doses.
✅ If you take your iron first thing in the morning before hepcidin is at its highest, you will absorb more of your supplement! It also should be taken away from your morning cup of tea or calcium supplementation (or with milk!) as the tannins in the tea can interfere with absorption and calcium also competes with absorption too!

So, if you’ve been taking iron daily and not seeing improvement, it might be time to check your form of supplement, and how and when you are taking it so its most effective!

After a better form of iron supplement that doesn't cause digestive discomfort and actually works? Comment below or send us a PM and we can help you out

Feeling constantly tired, short of breath, or dizzy?
You might be low in iron!

Iron deficiency is the most common of all the deficiencies I help clients manage in clinic. AND, its not just women who I have helped! Kids and men have also presented with low iron due to various reasons.

It isn’t always about not eating enough iron.

There are often underlying causes, including:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity (reducing absorption)
- SIBO or other gut conditions that impact digestion
- Low dietary intake of iron-rich foods, especially in vegetarians or those eating little red meat

Iron is essential for oxygen transport, energy, focus, and even mood, so when it’s low, your whole body feels it. Low iron can also affect sleep!

If you’ve been told your iron is low but you don’t know why, it’s time to dig deeper.
If your GP just says to grab an over the counter iron supplement without addressing WHY your iron is low in the first place, then its time to investigate further and treat the root cause.

🌿 NEW REEL SERIES: Functional Testing Explained 🌿

Ever wondered why we recommend certain tests at Inner Fit Nutrition — or what they actually tell us about your health?
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing a new series of short reels that break down some of the most insightful functional tests we use in clinic to uncover the root causes behind your symptoms.
✨ You’ll learn about:
🔹 SIBO Breath Testing – to identify bacterial overgrowth driving bloating, IBS and fatigue
🔹 CoBiome Stool Testing – to assess your gut microbiome and digestive function
🔹 DUTCH Hormone Testing – to explore adrenal and sex hormone balance through every stage of womanhood
🔹 Biocompatibility Hair Testing – to identify foods and products that may be causing inflammation or intolerance
🔹Vaginal Microbiome Testing – to support optimal vaginal health, fertility, and symptom relief
🔹and heaps more!

Each reel will give you a clear understanding of what the test is, who it’s for, and how it helps shape your personalised treatment plan.
If you’ve ever felt like “something’s off” but your standard blood tests come back normal, these are the tools that can finally help you find answers.

Keep an eye out for the first video dropping soon — I can’t wait to share this series with you!
