Low iron and “anemia” are often not true iron deficiencies - iron is abundant and accumulates - very high or low ferritin is more often a functional issue.

Many have asked about vitamin E and how it helps low ferritin. In short, it works by reducing iron toxicity and oxidative stress so the body can store iron safely again.

More specifically, Vitamin E reduces iron catalyzes lipid peroxidation—especially when PUFA is present. It quenches lipid peroxyl radicals, preventing iron from damaging cell membranes, which lowers the “need” to keep iron circulating defensively. So when oxidative stress falls, the body is more willing to store iron as ferritin.

Vitamin e may also indirectly raise ferritin to normal ranges by supporting ferritin synthesis. Ferritin is a stress-sensitive protein. High lipid peroxidation suppresses ferritin gene expression and keeps iron mobile instead of stored. Vitamin E normalizes redox signaling, allowing ferritin to be synthesized normally. This prevents ferritin degradation.

Additionally, there ir a strong relationship between thyroid, prolactin and ferritin. Vitamin E lowers prolactin and estrogen signaling - estrogen mobilizes iron into circulation and prolactin suppresses metabolic rate and iron handling. By antagonizing the effects of prolactin and estrogens you get better prolactin dopamine tone, better thyroid function and thus better iron utilization and storage.

Low ferritin?

This doesn’t always indicate a problem; and without a picture of total iron saturation, transferritin and thyroid function, you can’t be sure.

Aside from these labs, monitoring your real time physiology is key (are you cold, low energy, unstable mood, hair loss, pale skin, dark under eye, constipated?).

The ideal state is minimal stored iron, minimal circulating free iron, and maximal metabolic efficiency for optimal cellular utilization of iron.

Taking iron supplements doesn’t address the issues causing a functional iron handling problem, and more often than not, improving overall thyroid function and reducing stress and inflammation improve iron and ferritin problems.

One easy step in the right direction is an overall LOW diet, with whole-food sources of iron that also contains copper, zinc, and vitamin E along with plenty of carbs and protein to support overall iron metabolism.

There is no primary “adrenal fatigue.”

What most people consider and experience as adrenal fatigue is the fatigue and symptoms induced by a chronic energy deficiency, most often due to insufficient thyroid-driven oxidative metabolism.

Adrenaline & cortisol are backup systems when glucose oxidation fails. When cellular energy production via oxidative phosphorylation is impaired, physiological chaos sets in - blood sugar can drop, along with body temperature, blood pressure, and circulation slows. Until energy production is restored, adrenaline and cortisol will temporarily rise to support these systems. The problem is, this stress response comes with consequences. In time, if energy production is not restored, the thyroid, thymus, and adrenals can become inflamed, severely under active and even atrophy. And if the stress hormone production starts to fail, the body is nearing toward apathy.

So the goal is not to “support adrenals,” but to restore thyroid-supported glucose oxidation so adrenals no longer need to compensate. While the adaptive adrenal pituitary response is crucial to keeping the body alive when handling chronic stress, and is better that it works than not at all, keep in mind it is not the main driver of the physiological mechanism it effects. The adrenal and pituitary system is akin to an emergency fund or credit card; it keeps you going but at the expense of long term mitochondrial function. There may be a goal to replenish this account, but the main goal should be to store your primary energy (income) flow.

Having trouble getting your estrogen in check, despite doing everything right?

Once you’ve gotten a handle on low thyroid, normalizing estrogen (from years of stress, birth control, alcohol, or bad digestion) is often the next hurdle.

Here we describe some simple next steps you can focus on to hopefully get a handle on those persistent, bothersome estrogen symptoms.

Let us know what things have worked for you in the comments!

Had conversation in the DMs about this one today - isn’t the first time so figured we’d share for anyone else who has a issues.

Keep a few things in mind; ferritin is an acute-phase reactant, not just a measure of iron stores and availability! It’s not uncommon to see low ferritin in pregnancy and it is often protective, not pathology.

This is because iron absorption increases dramatically in pregnancy when metabolic signals improve (usually from surging progesterone).

High prolactin and low thyroid function can impair iron transport, giving the appearance of low ferritin even when iron availability is
adequate.

This is why lab work should never be taken for face value, and should also pair with a good awareness of your own physiology, symptoms and other metabolic parameters.

Our family is welcoming another baby, which means lots of fertility and pregnancy content to come! One of Noelle’s tried and true supplements to keep her metabolic health strong while prepping for baby is Thyro+™️. Thyroid health is essential during pregnancy because it supports both the mother’s well-being and the baby’s development. In the early months, a baby relies entirely on the mother’s thyroid hormones for brain, nervous system, and skeletal growth, making adequate thyroid function vital. These hormones also regulate metabolism, helping maintain steady energy, balanced blood sugar, and proper nutrient absorption, all crucial as the body works harder to sustain new life. A nourished thyroid supports hormonal balance, mood stability, and fertility, while deficiencies can increase the risk of fatigue, low mood, miscarriage, and developmental delays. Supporting thyroid health with nutrient-rich foods, minerals like iodine and selenium, balanced blood sugar, and stress reduction helps ensure both mother and baby thrive throughout pregnancy.

Beginning the day with marine collagen and pearl is a beauty ritual that nourishes you from the inside out. Marine collagen helps replenish the body’s natural collagen stores, supporting supple skin, strong hair, and resilient nails. Studies show that marine collagen; specially over bovine collagen, is a versatile compound capable of healing skin injuries of varying severity, as well as delaying the natural human aging process. Additionally, it is capable of increasing bone mineral density, mineral deposition, and importantly, osteoblast maturation and proliferation. Added mineral, antioxidant and amino acid rich Pearl Powder produces enhances the skin and bone benefits. These two ingredients work synergistically via improved calcium metabolism, free radical scavenging and other mechanisms to strengthen the skin and bones, and even brighten the skin, offering beauty that glows from within. Taken in the quiet of the morning, this ritual becomes more than skincare, it’s a moment of devotion, a reminder to tend to yourself with grace, setting the tone for a day rooted in vitality and luminous well-being.

Meet SILK; our premium anti-cellulite body butter.

Our body butter is unlike any other you will find on the market. Perhaps the only one true to its name, this silky goodness is made in a base of organic ghee from Amish, pasture-raised cows. Ghee is clarified butter, an Ayurvedic delicacy that is rich in the all so important fat soluble vitamins most of us lack, including A, D and K2. These vitamins are essential for the normal production of sebum (skin oil), hormone synthesis and for healthy skin immunity.

Ghee is very absorbent; so unlike other body butters, which tend to be greasy, Silk is soaked up by the skin leaving it moisturized and hydrated.

According to Ayurveda, Ghee is radiance bestowing (Kanti Pradai), improves the skin tone, complexion and overall health of skin (Tvachya).

This is just the beginning of the unique benefits of Silk. In addition to the beautifying properties of , Silk contains special compounds like Methylene Blue (a mitochondrial targeting antioxidant), caffeine and full-spectrum vitamin E (soy, canola and sunflower oil free).

These elements make Silk great for reducing cellulite and veins - conditions caused by hormonal imbalance, , oxidative stress, hypoxia and edema.

Methylene Blue improves oxygenation of the skin tissue resulting in more resilient, healthier skin. A lack of oxygen (hypoxia) can lead to inflammation and ultimately degrade skin quality. Vitamin E helps to counteract damage caused by inflammation and is anti-estrogen. Varicose veins are often caused by high estrogen. Estrogen increases the cells and tissues affinity toward water, which causes water retention and weakens the tone of the veins. Both vitamin E and caffeine counter act this effect. Additionally, studies show that topical caffeine can reduce the appearance of by improving the metabolism of fat, by acting as an and estrogen antagonist.

Have your lips lost their plump?

Before you consider invasive fillers, we want to introduce to you our natural, non-toxic and science-backed lip enhancement balm, PLUMP!

There’s a reason lips shrivel, and it comes down to hormonal changes that occur from the stress of aging. But it’s not just aging that causes these hormonal shifts, any sort of stress, be it dietary stress, environmental toxins, alcohol consumption, too many late nights, amongst many others that can cause negative hormonal changes that lead to the degradation of the lip tissue.

Plump is formulated to protect the lips from the shrinking and aging effects of stress. It also happens to be rich in low molecular hyaluronic and natural occurring hyaluronic acid from , which helps to restore m lip fullness over time.
