36. Don't Get Burned by the Iron Controversy in Your Childbearing Years

In this episode, nurse practitioner Karin Ashley (@karinashleynp) and I discuss why iron needs nuance and why you don't have to guess if you're low in iron or low in iron-supporting co-factors. In a social media world that proclaims iron is all good or all bad, we tread the fine line in the middle to equip you to make the best health decisions for yourselves in a life stage that requires a lot of nutritional resources.

Karin also has an amazing ebook that she wrote for anyone listening who wants more details and a supplement and food guide... you can find that HERE.
