Yo. This is what it felt like when I found out my ferritin was in the TRIPLE DIGITS after being a FOUR.

I have shared a bit of my iron deficiency without anemia story on stories and in-feed but I wanted to share more of the story today. Also, because the American Society of Hematology recently updated their Guidelines for Diagnosis of Iron Deficiency

My ferritin was 4, and my hemoglobin was totally normal. If you'd only looked at that second number, you would've sent me home 🩸

For about a year I had palpitations, exercise intolerance, exhaustion that naps didn't fix, restless nights, hair shedding, and brain fog so bad a 1-hour task took me 4. I blamed anxiety, perimenopause, and being a working mom of two. I even had a cardiology appointment booked. Then after appointments with GI and doing some detective work, I found out my ferritin was a 4.

My hematologist and I decided IV iron made sense for me. Within days the palpitations were gone and I made it through a workout without gasping 🏃‍♀️

So yes, for me an iron infusion was what my body needed. But this is my story, not everyone's. Oral iron is often tried first, not everyone needs an infusion, and every option comes with real benefits and real risks. How fast people feel better varies a lot. Those choices belong in a talk with your clinician, especially for kids.

In my newsletter I break it all down:
✔️ a simple way to understand ferritin vs. hemoglobin
✔️ the new ferritin cutoffs and what the 2026 AAP report means for kids and teens
✔️ easy-to-miss signs in kids, like restless sleep and ice chewing
✔️ when to ask your pediatrician about a ferritin check (and when not to)
✔️ why finding the cause matters as much as the treatment

Comment IRON and I'll send you this week's free newsletter issue: "I had brain fog, palpitations, restless sleep, and hair loss and I thought it was anxiety...it wasn't. "

Iron deficiency is NOT the answer for everyone's symptoms and the newsletter discusses some advocacy pieces I want all of you to have.

Have you ever been told your labs were "normal" but something still felt off? 👇
