The low iron story: You're exhausted. You can barely get through the day.
You get your iron tested. It comes back 'normal.'
But you're still exhausted.
So you think: Maybe I'm just lazy. Maybe I need more sleep. Maybe I need to exercise more.
No. You have dysbiosis.
Here's what's happening: You might have 'normal' iron levels in your blood, but if your gut bacteria are imbalanced (dysbiosis), you can't ABSORB that iron properly.
So even though your iron levels are 'normal,' your body isn't actually using that iron.
Result? You're exhausted.
This is why so many women feel exhausted even though their blood work is 'normal.'
The fix? Fix your dysbiosis. Once you do, your iron absorption improves. Your energy comes back.
I had a client who was exhausted for 3 years. Her iron was 'normal.' After we fixed her dysbiosis? Her energy came back without changing her iron levels at all.
If you're exhausted and your iron is 'normal,' dysbiosis is preventing you from absorbing that iron.
