Tired all the time? Losing more hair than usual? Feeling like you’re running on empty? 😴
One lab I frequently review is ferritin, which measures your body’s iron stores.
Many patients are told their iron levels are “normal,” but ferritin can be low long before anemia develops. Low iron stores may contribute to fatigue, hair shedding, poor exercise tolerance, brain fog, restless legs, and feeling cold.
The goal isn’t simply to raise ferritin—it’s to understand why it’s low in the first place. Heavy menstrual cycles, dietary deficiencies, digestive issues, chronic inflammation, and gastrointestinal blood loss are just a few potential causes.
At Core Wellness, we take a deeper look at your symptoms and labs to identify root causes rather than simply chasing numbers.
✨ If you’ve been told your labs are “normal” but still don’t feel like yourself, let’s investigate further.
