If you have been diagnosed with hemachromatosis, which is a genetic condition that makes the body store iron to potentially dangerous levels, then therapeutic phlebotomies are the best treatment. Basically, go to the nearest blood bank and give a pint every two months. You even get a free T shirt for your donation.

I read a publication that measured stored iron and triglyceride levels.
They found that people who have slightly more iron than necessary have higher triglycerides and longer waist circumference. So, even if one has a small amount of unnecessary iron, it’s beneficial to remove it. Almost every man who consumes chocolate or meat has unnecessary iron.
I donate blood every two years.
If blood ferritin is less than 70 ng/ml, the person has an iron deficiency.
people talk about anemia but actually too much iron is a far more common ailment and can lead to liver disease, minimally...
I had to give like every month for a while. My doctor referred to it as having too much blood. I commented to the blood bank tech one time that I was donating quite a bit and they told me they could not use mine, it had to be destroyed.
