9 Reasons your Iron Tablet may not be working...

31/10/2018

0 Comments

 
Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional problems people young and old suffer with today.  Not only that, for some, iron tablets just don't make a difference.  So why? 

Here are some of the main reasons people may have an iron deficiency problem:
  1. Poor diet – inadequate intake of enough mineral rich food
  2. Restrictive diet – allergies and intolerances and diets without certain food groups can again mean the person has inadequate intake of mineral rich food
  3. Altered diet – a person who has changed the types of foods they eat, e.g.  turned vegetarian or vegan recently.   Or a person who has to omit certain food types due to allergy or intolerance.  The body is not used to extracting iron from these foods alone
  4. Blood loss – heavy periods or other bleeding such as from haemorrhoids, blood nose or recurrent bruising can affect iron levels and may indicate a more serious internal problem such as internal bleeding.
  5. Increased or prolonged period of stress – creates distress in the body and can affect digestion and other functions, creating deficiencies.
​

What are the main symptoms of low iron:
  1. Unusual tiredness – feeling more tired than usual, extreme tiredness
  2. Paleness – pale complexion but also pale skin all over the body
  3. Shortness of breath – difficulty getting a deep breath
  4. Headaches – lack of oxygen due to low iron – which causes lack of oxygen supply to the cells and tissues of the body
  5. Dizziness – feeling dizzy and foggy headed
  6. Mouth Ulcers
  7. Cracked corners of the mouth
  8. Recurrent infections - ears, colds, sinusitis
  9. Brittle nails
  10. Palpitations – feeling heart beating faster for no apparent reason
  11. Dry and Damaged Hair and itchy Skin
  12. Acne and pimples
  13. Restless legs

The reason it is important to take the right supplements...
It is also very important to note that taking iron supplements when you have not had a proper diagnosis from your doctor can be detrimental to your health ...

Hot Flushes - Surely they are normal?

What's common is not necessarily normal!

So, mum suffered with hot flushes, so did Nan, loads of women I have spoken to do... what's the worry?  I only have to get through it for a few years and then it will all be over!!!


What you didn't know!

Well, I'm going to let you into a little secret, hot flushes are very common, but they are most definitely not normal!  They are a definitive sign that there is a something happening with your hormones!  I knew that, I hear you say.  Yup but did you know that hot flushes are often a sign that there is a war going on in your hormonal system and it involves your adrenal glands.  Hot flushes are usually a result of too little estrogen and too much adrenaline!  Did you also know that too little estrogen can lead to a whole range of major health problems later on.  Some of which you may know, some you may not:
​
  • Osteoporosis - yup, low estrogen affects bone density and is often the cause of this disease which once set in is very difficult to reverse.
  • Cystitis or UTI's - again, low estrogen causes the urethra to thin which affects its ability to fight infection leading to increased risk of these infuriating little attacks.  Remember needing to pee every 5 seconds only to find nothing comes out!!!!  Ugh!
  • Headaches and Migraines- and on top of that, headaches start and if you have migraines these can often get worse and happen more often.
  • Plus ... fatigue, mood swings, insomnia, heart issues and more.

Estrogen is really a woman's protective hormone and if out of whack has some pretty significant effects on us, mentally, emotionally, physically and energetically.

So, What can you do about it?

You can of course opt for hormone therapy and put synthetic or bio-identical hormones into your blood to try to sort the issue out, but is this really getting to the root of the problem?

You could try a  natural approach and change your diet, there are lots of natural 'fixes' for menopause online.

You could seek out a therapist like myself.  I work with the glands that produce these hormones, seeking to balance the way they function so that the hormones work themselves out.

Whatever you decide is the best strategy I hope you found this interesting and if you wish to seek further advice, I would be happy to discuss your issues.
