Ferritin 15.
TSH 3.8 on levothyroxine.
Four months on a GLP-1 and down six pounds.
Up at 3am every night.

Here’s what’s actually happening.

Levo gives you T4, but your body has to convert it into T3 before you can use any of it, and that conversion needs iron.
Hers is at 15. So she’s taking her medication religiously and most of it is just sitting there.

Meanwhile the GLP is doing one job, quieting her appetite, while nothing underneath it has been touched.
None of these markers are a problem on their own. That’s exactly why they got missed.

Comment LABS and I’ll show you how to take your results and build an actual plan from them.

Yawning all day and still can’t get a full breath? That’s not always anxiety.

And you didn’t randomly become allergic to wine at 43 either.

Two symptoms that seem completely unrelated. Both perimenopause, taking two totally different routes.

Your cycles get unpredictable in this phase. Heavier for some, closer together for others, skipping for some. Any of that means you’re losing iron faster than you’re replacing it, and ferritin tanks way before a basic panel shows anything. That’s the breathing thing. And then not being able to breathe right gives you real anxiety on top of it. Ask me how I know.

The allergy piece is progesterone. It drops first, before estrogen, before anyone tells you what’s happening. Progesterone is what keeps your histamine in check, so when it goes, suddenly wine gives you a headache and pollen wrecks you.

Comment LABS and I’ll send you the step by step of what to ask for and what to do with the results.

Ferritin face is everywhere right now and half of it is wrong.
There ARE facial signs your ferritin could be low.

But those same signs could be your thyroid, your B12, your sleep, or all three at once. You can’t diagnose this from a mirror.

And don’t stop at the iron pill. If you’re not absorbing it, or something’s stealing it, or you’re still bleeding it out every month, that pill isn’t doing what you think it is.

Comment LABS and I’ll break down exactly what to look at first.

Same dose since 2019.

Feeling worse every year.

Labs “look great.”

Cool cool cool.

Your estrogen doesn’t just politely decline, it spikes all over the place first. And when it spikes, your body makes more of the protein that hauls thyroid hormone around.

More of your dose gets held instead of used. Same pill, less of it doing anything.

Then there’s your ferritin, which I bring up constantly for a reason. You need iron to make thyroid hormone in the first place. And if you’re taking your iron anywhere near your thyroid pill, you’re canceling your own dose. Space them four hours, I’m begging.

Hashimoto’s also loves to get louder right about now, so your thyroid is putting out less than it was when somebody picked that number for you six years ago.
And a TSH only panel can’t tell you which of those it is. Which is how you end up “normal” and still crawling through your day.

Brown spotting before your period.
PMS that lasts three weeks.
The same 5 lbs on repeat.

Three different appointments, three different answers, and usually a “your labs look normal.”

Here’s what’s actually happening.

Progesterone drops first in perimenopause, so your lining sheds slower and you see brown blood before your period even starts.

Estrogen is now running the show unopposed. And that extra estrogen has to leave your body somehow. That job belongs to your gut and your liver. If either one is backed up, it just keeps recirculating.

Add low ferritin slowing your thyroid down and the scale is never moving. No matter how clean you eat.

It’s one problem wearing three costumes.

Brown spotting before your period.

PMS that lasts three weeks.

The same 5 lbs on repeat.

Can we talk about what five years of dieting actually does to a body?

Your body isn’t dumb. You eat less and less for years and it goes ok, food’s scarce, let’s cut spending. One of the first things it cuts is turning your thyroid hormone into the active form, because that conversion costs energy and your body doesn’t think it has any to spare.

Then cortisol climbs to cover the gap. Progesterone and testosterone drop right along with it.

So the harder she dieted, the more she was fighting the exact numbers nobody was even looking at.

Which is why feeding her wasn’t the reward at the end. It was step one.

Comment LABS and I’ll tell you what I’d look at on yours.

Ferritin is your stored iron.
Hemoglobin is the iron out working in your blood.

Your body will spend down storage for years to keep the working supply looking normal, which is why hemoglobin is the last thing to move.

Most labs flag ferritin as low somewhere under 11 or 15. Symptoms usually start showing up under 50.
Hair and energy often need 70 or higher.

Perimenopause speeds the drain. Cycles shorten, bleeds get heavier, and you end up bleeding more days per year than you did at 30 while absorption often isn’t keeping up.

Inflammation raises ferritin. A “normal” 60 with a high CRP can be a depleted 20 underneath. That’s why you run CRP alongside it, not after.

Comment FERRITIN if you’re wondering what steps to take to get your numbers and your symptoms back in line.
