Eat red meat.
Eat spinach.
A few days ago I had a physical and my doctor called and said my iron was too high.
Well for the past 3 months I’ve been eating alot of spinach dip.

“Eat red meat.”

Getting the RDA is hard for women even before factoring in heavy menses. And it seems like the non-doctors providing medical care to us are poorly trained regarding iron.
Women - get your ferritin checked, do your stupid three month trial of iron pills to appease the insurance company, and then tell your doctor the iron pills cause problems (upset stomach, constipation) and you would like an iron infusion. Do not be satisfied until your ferritin is over 50!
Brain fog and fatigue from low ferritin is real - you don’t have to live that way!
