163: Iron Deficiency Skin Rash

Have you ever heard of an Iron Deficiency Skin Rash?

It’s a thing!

So is itchiness triggered by low iron levels.

I was so fascinated by this topic that I wanted to dive deeper and help you understand just HOW important it is to get assessed for iron deficiency.

Unfortunately, it’s one of the most common deficiencies that I uncover in my practice.

If you’ve struggled in the past with iron (or have iron deficiency symptoms like hair loss), this episode is a MUST for you!

Assessment is way more complicated than just looking at labs. I’m going through my process that I take every client through so that you get a better sense of what it’s like to have a comprehensive evaluation.

Numbers on a paper only tell part of the story especially if you’re not feeling well and struggling with itchiness!

In this episode:

• Iron deficiency + itchiness
• Type of rash that can appear due to iron anemia
• How low iron impacts your thyroid (+ ultimately your skin)
• Which diets make you more susceptible to low iron
• Best labs to check for iron status
• What I assess if I suspect iron deficiency
• Foods + supplements to help iron levels

Quotes:

Clients often take for granted that their body will just make the nutrients it needs like iron. And that mindset unfortunately can get them into trouble.

Iron deficiency must be taken seriously and assessed from several different angles especially if symptoms are present.
