Top-down medical system trauma is real.

It's National Lab Week! 🔬🩸 If your doctor ran some tests that showed you were technically still alive and told you everything "looks great", please consider a second opinion. Similarly, if you haven't gotten some important, basic, and regularly overlooked labs done in the past few years (insulin, CRP, ferritin, RBC magnesium, etc.) and want a lab order discount plus a personalized analysis, get with me!

Iron-deficiency anemia is often remedied with drugstore iron pills. But if that doesn't work, doctors sometimes prescribe iron infusions — and the bill for that can vary by thousands of dollars. Why?

This is usually easily fixable. I can help.

A recent study examined C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in individuals with unipolar and bipolar depression. The findings suggested that higher CRP levels were associated with longer illness duration, earlier age of onset, and eveningness-type chronotype, providing potential insights into the develo...

None! Don’t even think about it!

Sometimes people come to me (with the admittedly niche company name Elusive Iron) thinking they, like roughly half the population, probably just have an iron dysregulation problem that needs to be addressed. But that's where the importance of filling out my intake form comes in; because if I see something that makes me scratch my chin, I will want to order very specific tests for you to make sure nothing important is getting missed.

Case in point: A woman once came to me who thought she had an iron problem. A single thing she mentioned on her intake form made me check her iodine level too, and whereas a healthful amount of 24-hour urine iodine is between about 100 and 300, hers was 3,728.

So iron dysregulation isn't necessarily the worst or most pressing problem, and if you have certain symptoms and have the resources, you should let me do a little digging to make sure things are as they should be.

That and I'm also useful in that I know what method to test because if you test for something the wrong way (say, serum or plasma or hair or random urine or 24-hour urine instead of RBC), it might look like you have a normal amount of the thing when you very well may not. And, just as importantly, I'm familiar with optimal values based on age, s*x, etc., not just meaningless reference ranges.

If this meme about seemingly random pain in adulthood applies to you, your iron is likely off! I can help get you back to feeling normal again. 🩸

A GIF of my reaction when I find out a client, or someone with osteopenia/osteoporosis, or frankly anyone in the general public, has been taking a calcium supplement.
(If you ever wanted to *not* solve a problem while causing another, more problematicky problem, this is a great course of action!)
Instead, let me help you fix your problem without causing any damage to your body. :)
