This video confuses me. I’m anemic and it’s the least of my problems. This lady is acting like a cancer survivor, but anemia is not a major thing and barely effects quality of life…?
Thanks for your comment. Obesity per se is not associated with anemia. The detection of anemia in a person who is obese needs to be looked into further to find an underlying cause. You can learn more about obesity, anemia, and other conditions and procedures on the NHLBI website in the Health Topics section.
Thanks for the video. This person’s story seemed very familiar to me. I too thought it was more my lifestyle that was causing me to be so exhausted all the time. Nice to see there is a path to feeling better.
My ferritin is 3 but supplements don’t work as it makes my stomach hurt, and doctor doesn’t want to do infusion… please help I feel really bad and want to die but I know it’s the low iron that makes me feel this way

I had a iron deficiency since i was 7. And i was always a depressed kid with anxiety since i became overweight when i was 11. That time was the most happiest years of my life.
I have for years been getting these dry crusty sores on the sides of my mouth. I decided to ask the doctor to find out what was causing it whilst going in for something else and after she looked at my bloods, she confirmed that it was caused by a mild iron deficiency. I have started taking an iron supplement with 100% RDA iron along with B-vitamins and hopefully this will sort the problem out but I had no idea this was causing it.
I have leaky gut, I am barely absorping all the nutrients from my diet. I tried healing my gut with L-glutamine and it helped a bit. But I think I lack certain digestive enzymes cause of age. I am constantly anemic, and a strong perscription iron supplement does wonders, for a bit, and then it makes me severely constipated. I would have to eat steak all day long, around 50 steaks, to get the amount that is in the supplement since some gets lost. So I am stuck. Could I get an iron shot?
I used to remain always anemic,weak despite of being taking proper diet, taken lots of medicines but anemia care pack by planet ayurvedia has given me satisfactory @t dont feel any kind of weakness.
Thanks for sharing. i just found out I have anemia and I’ve been wondering about it a lot. Is taking vitamins an okay substitute for iron pills, or should I take iron pills?
A few years back I had been suffered from anemia problem, but after using Planet Ayurveda Anemia Care Pack now I really feel much better. it’s an herbal product.
I could have listened to you for hours. Absolutely me! I am homozygous C282y Hemochromatosis and was told to avoid iron at all cost, until i recently gave iron supplements a try, and feel fantastic. We have so much to learn about the mystery of iron balance. Thank you for this video and topic.

Certain pathological bacteria in the gut feed on and deplete iron. PalaferCf should be taken with a good probiotic. Optimal Ferritin is 150 ug to 300 ug, 40 ug is the new ultra low, athletes non-competitive should be above 80 ug, competitive ideally 150 ug. Vitamin A is required to transport iron. Remember that iron deficiency is a global marker for all deficiencies and indicates poor diet or poor absorption. Patients with chronic low iron need dietary support and education such as a referral to a dietician at the least, or a GI specialist if other symptoms. Mental health will be affected with chronic low iron, as it is a global marker.
Being vegan made my anemia worse. We need Iron more than we need a liver. Now I eat beef AND take Iron supplements. Can’t be helped. They even diagnosed me as bipolar but that is probably misdiagnosis. Iron seems to have fixed all that. Sometimes you just have to eat beef for iron.
When eating/ drinking IRON rich foods. Please AVOID eating the following for 3hrseggs, wheat, chapati, pitta bread, bread, cake, yogurt, doughnut, coffee, tea, NUTS. tortilla wraps, biscuits, muffins cream, VIT E and multivitamin tablets, ZINC. You must also know what caused your Aneimia? Heavy period, pulops, fibroids, cescarian operation, miscarriage abortion, blood loss due to accident.( for the last 3 reasons Eating sheep/ lamb liver is great with carrots). If you are suffering memory loss, white hair n gaining weight it may be aneimia. Plz note the liver must be fried gently with little salt n pepperit must be a little raw inside. Never cook liver properly to get the right results. Avoid eating dinnertime as it takes many hrs to digest. Peace from England UK
I can hear every time you hit the record button on the audio. Lol I only notice this because I’ve been working on a video for a while now and I had to go back and cut out those little tapping noises. Nice video though, very informative
Can Iron deficiency anemia go back? For ex I took my medicine maybe 3-4 months and I stop taking my medicine at July(2019) (Lowkey the truth I didnt know if I already recover or not) Then I recover from my anemia…does it go back? Like do I get back from being anemic again?..
Anemia is a very serious condition and my friend suffered from anemia. She was on medication since long but had no relief. Then she tried “Anemia Care Pack” that is an Ayurvedic treatment for anemia. This care pack is offered by “Planet Ayurveda”. This really worked on anemia and my friend is now fit and fine.
I feel like this isn’t the best educational video. No trying to find why she is anemic? She could be bleeding in her intestines and they wouldn’t know because this stupid doctor is like “oh low iron just eat more iron then we’re all good”. Kind of like some of the doctors I’ve meet throughout my years with anemia. No trying to find the source and fix it… Stupid.
Cheers for the Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you heard the talk about Ganrayden Peerless Gratification (just google it)? It is a smashing exclusive product for eradicating your urticaria minus the headache. Ive heard some decent things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical results with it.
Thank you for this information! I’ve been checking out your other videos as well. My ferritin is 24 and my doctor does not seem to do anything about it. She tells me that my iron is good but I have so many of these symptoms that I’m taking iron on my own. Once again thank you for putting this information out there
When I went to the Dr. everything came back normal, but the third time I went they checked my ferritin levels. My iron was 47 and my ferritin was 27 but my Trans Sat level percentage was a 16 instead of the balance of 20-55 range. Do you know what the differences are? My hemoglobin levels are fine as well.
Just saw my doctor. I am in the US. She said because in a previous test I had hemoglobin on the high end I do not have an iron problem. I had to wrestle with her to do just some of the tests. She is writing it off to mental illness. Maybe I am just mentally ill.
Hi, I saw your post on Instagram and I came to watch your videos it’s joint, muscle weakness and sometimes like a burning feeling in the skin? My ferritin is 3 my doctor just said to keep taking iron pills my b12 is normal that’s what she said. Can you please help me to confirm that my symptoms are from low iron storage I been in fear to have something else
I have low iron and so I had signs of what iron deficiency and I kept on having most of the signs and so they did an exray in my head or whatever they did and my nurse thought I had Anxiety she said its probably because the kids are to loud but I kept telling her that they weren’t loud I called my mom and I told her and the nurse laughed last time she said that I am wasting her Time.
My hemoglobin is normal, but everything else is borderline abnormal (other words, on the low or high end of every scalp pertaining to iron deficiency). What’s weird? The scale for ferritin for my diagnostic office starts at FIVE ng/L, so the doctor doesn’t believe I need iron. They believe if you have at least 5 ferritin they think you’re fine!!
My levels? Ferritin: 13 ng/L (“normal” 5-204), iron: 79 ug/L (“normal” 50-170), iron saturation percent: 17% (“normal” 15-50), and iron binding capacity at a whopping 460!! (“normal” 200-489).
I’m experiencing light headedness, shortness of breath, vision issues, coldness in hands and feet, skin dryness, fatigue, brittle hair nails (which also have developed little “dips”?) Did you experience this even though you weren’t anemic??
Ps: btw, not thyroid-I dont have a thyroid anymore and take replacement hormones, and my levels are checked and managed frequently enough that I know it isn’t this. Thyroid levels are perfect rn
Hi. I’ve had it all Gaia plant force iron is what I like — liquid and tastes great! Love you all. Praying for all the victims of the screwed up medical system. Keep going till you get the correct answers. Xxoo. Deb

Hi Sally, I wish the way you talk in your vlogs here is the same way you talked at work and on air at Ideal World. I find that you are very warm and entertaining in your vlogs than when on air.
