Palm Life Liposomal Iron: https://palmlife.com

Have you ever been told your labs are normal, but you still feel exhausted, dizzy, foggy, or unlike yourself?

In this episode of She’s in Progress, Alexandra Lourdes and Dr. Josh Redd discuss low iron and ferritin, why your iron can look normal while your ferritin is dangerously low, and how low iron can affect your thyroid, your energy, and your brain, especially for people navigating Hashimoto’s and autoimmune disease.

Alex shares how her ferritin dropped below 10 while she was taking thyroid medication and still felt exhausted, and why two iron infusions were not enough until she fixed the gut issues blocking her absorption. Together, they explain the ferritin levels where symptoms begin, the root causes most doctors never check, from low stomach acid and H. pylori to inflammation, heavy periods, and fibroids, and how to take iron so it actually absorbs: first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, away from coffee, matcha, and calcium, and every other day. They also answer your questions on birth control, heavy cycles, and who actually needs an iron infusion.

If you have ever been told “everything looks normal” when you know something is off, this episode is for you.

Dr. Redd’s bloodwork guide:

Have you ever been told your labs are normal, but you still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious, dizzy, or unlike yourself?

In this episode of She’s in Progress, Alexandra Lourdes and Dr. Josh Redd discuss what standard blood work can miss, especially for people navigating Hashimoto’s, autoimmune symptoms, hormone imbalance, low blood sugar, and chronic fatigue.

Alex shares the three major red flags found in her labs: an estrogen to progesterone imbalance, low blood sugar, and methylation issues. Together, they explain why symptoms matter, which blood tests to ask for, how to better understand your results, and why looking deeper can help uncover possible triggers behind how you feel.
