Did you know…If you have iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and your numbers aren’t improving…
it may not be the dose.

Iron absorption depends on stomach acid.

When stomach acid is low, iron (especially the non-heme type found in most supplements) may not convert into its absorbable form. That means you can take iron consistently and still struggle to raise ferritin or hemoglobin.

Before automatically increasing your dose, consider:

• Are you taking acid-reducing medications?
• Do you have chronic bloating or digestive symptoms?
• Are you taking iron with coffee, tea, or calcium?
• Are you spacing it correctly from other supplements?

Iron needs:
✔️ An acidic environment
✔️ Proper timing
✔️ The right form
✔️ Adequate vitamin C

Sometimes improving digestion and absorption makes more difference than simply taking more iron.

And if levels still aren’t improving, it’s important to rule out:
• Ongoing blood loss
• Celiac disease
• H. pylori
• Inflammatory conditions
• Heavy menstrual bleeding

Iron deficiency anemia is common — but persistent anemia always deserves a deeper look.

More iron isn’t always the answer.
Better absorption and identifying the root cause is.

If you have a medical license, you could be one investigation away from losing your career.

Most providers think license loss only happens if you do something reckless or illegal.
That’s not how it actually works.

Investigations often start because of documentation gaps, staff mistakes, missing protocols, or anonymous complaints you may never get details about.

Once an investigation starts, it’s no longer about how good of a provider you are.
It’s about what you can prove on paper.

That’s why Slimming Grace Academy was created.
Clinic Under Fire teaches nurse practitioners how to protect their license, documentation, and practice before a complaint or investigation ever happens.

If you have a license, this matters.

✨ Progress Looks Different for Everyone ✨

Progress isn’t always a big number on the scale or a dramatic before-and-after photo.
Sometimes progress looks like:
• Showing up when you didn’t feel like it
• Making one better choice today than yesterday
• Taking your meds consistently
• Drinking more water
• Not giving up—even after a hard week

Small steps add up. Consistency matters more than perfection.
If you’re still trying, you’re still moving forward—and that counts.

We’re proud of you. Keep going. 💪💙

🩺 Blood Pressure at Home: Do It Right!
Slimming Grace Primary Care

✅ Before you check
• Sit quietly 5 minutes
• Feet flat, back supported
• Arm at heart level
• No caffeine, smoking, or exercise for 30 min

✅ Cuff basics
• On bare skin
• About 1 inch above the elbow
• Snug, not tight

📏 Does your cuff fit?
• ❌ Too small: Very tight, barely closes → BP may read too high
• ❌ Too big: Loose or overlaps a lot → BP may read too low
• ✅ Just right: Snug with 1–2 fingers fitting underneath

💡 Tip: Check the size range printed on your cuff and measure your upper arm.

Not sure your readings are accurate? Bring your cuff to your visit — we’re happy to help 💙

🤧 Sniffles Season Tip!
Hydration and sleep are your immune system’s secret weapons.

Even mild dehydration or poor sleep can make cold and allergy symptoms last longer.
✔️ Drink plenty of water
✔️ Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep
✔️ Warm teas and broths can help soothe congestion
✔️ Wash hands often and avoid touching your face

If symptoms last more than 7–10 days, worsen, or include fever or chest tightness — it’s time to get checked.

✨ Take care now so your body can bounce back faster.
