Keep It Clear

Getting told your iron is low and handed a supplement isn't the whole story — and for a lot of people, it's actually making things worse.

Katie and Cris are diving deep into one of the most misunderstood minerals out there: iron. In this episode, they break down everything iron actually does in the body (hint: it's way more than energy), why low iron is rarely just about low iron, and why blindly supplementing without understanding the root cause can backfire fast. From gut infections and low stomach acid to estrogen dominance and pathogen load, this episode will completely change the way you look at your iron labs.

In This Episode We Cover

What iron actually does in the body beyond energy and oxygen transport.
Why low stomach acid is one of the most overlooked reasons you can't absorb iron.
How gut infections like H. pylori, candida, and parasites steal your iron.
Why supplementing iron with an active gut infection can make things worse.
What a complete iron panel actually looks like and which markers matter.
How heavy periods and estrogen dominance contribute to iron depletion.
