Why Iron Deficiency Is EXTREMELY Common in Women
If you’re a woman with Hashimoto’s and you’re always tired, cold, dizzy or losing hair… iron deficiency may be a huge part of the puzzle🔍💛
Shocking truth: 👉 Up to 70% of Hashimoto’s women have low ferritin(iron)!
Why it happens:
❤️ Heavy or irregular periods Common in thyroid + hormone imbalance → lose more blood → lose more iron
🥣 Poor absorption
• Low stomach acid (very common with Hashimoto’s)
• Gut infections like H. pylori or SIBO
• Inflammation
• Certain medications
🥩 Higher need for iron Your body needs iron to:
• Convert T4 → T3
• Make energy
• Transport oxygen
• Support your immune system
What low iron feels like:
🥱 Exhaustion
❄️ Cold hands/feet
💇♀️ Hair loss
💓 Heart palpitations
🧠 Brain fog
🏋️ Weakness or breathlessness
🌿 How to support iron levels naturally:
• Eat heme iron: beef, lamb, liver
• Avoid coffee/tea with meals (blocks absorption)
• Restore stomach acid (game changer!)
• Check ferritin + iron panel
• Address gut infections if present
Iron deficiency isn’t a side problem, it’s a root cause for MANY thyroid symptom!
