Nourish with Iron — Fuel Your Vitality

Iron is an essential mineral that powers your body’s core functions—from energy and immunity to mood and cognitive health. In the U.S., anemia (often driven by inadequate iron) affects about 13.0 % of females overall—compared to 5.5 % of males—with particularly high rates in adolescent girls (17.4 % among ages 12–19) and women age 20–59 (14.0 %). Research shows nearly 34 % of U.S. women in their child bearing years may be iron deficient—even without anemia—resulting in fatigue, brain fog, mood shifts, and more.

• Oxygen & Energy: Iron is a key component of hemoglobin (in red blood cells) and myoglobin (in muscles), ensuring oxygen delivery to tissues and supporting energy production across all organs

• Brain & Mood: The brain relies on consistent oxygen supply—low iron can impair focus, memory, and mood regulation.

• Immune Support: Iron supports immune cell function; deficiency may lower resilience to infections

• Hormones & Growth: Essential in enzyme systems, iron helps in hormone synthesis, connective tissue repair, and overall cellular metabolism

Women—especially those menstruating or pregnant—are at elevated risk due to monthly blood and iron loss. Studies estimate up to 40 % of U.S. females aged 12 21 experience iron deficiency, and around 6 % have full anemia Lifestyle, diet, and health conditions such as heavy periods, vegetarianism, or gastrointestinal issues further raise the odds

• Persistent fatigue, weakness or lightheadedness

• Hair loss, pale skin, or cold extremities

• Difficulty concentrating or “brain fog”

• Cravings for ice or non food items (pica)

If you’re noticing these, testing not just hemoglobin—but also ferritin (iron store levels)—is key even before full anemia develops

A food first approach is ideal:

• Include heme iron sources: lean red meat, poultry, fish

• Add non heme plant sources: beans, lentils, dark leafy greens, fortified grains

• Enhance absorption by pairing with vitamin C, and avoid inhibiting foods (e.g. tea, coffee, calcium) around mealtime.
