What your ferritin levels really should be for optimal health, metabolism & longevity

Are you feeling tired, your hair is falling out, and metabolism is sluggish? Chances are, if you are female and menstruating (ie not on a contraceptive that suppresses your period, or past menopause), your iron stores might be below optimal. Or, on the other hand, and in particular if you are male or female with no period, perhaps have achy joints, a larger belly circumference than you’d like, or even no noticeable symptoms (yet!) but you enjoy steak and aren’t bleeding monthly, there is a high likelihood that your iron stores are above optimal. But your doctor tested your iron and said you are fine? If possible, get your hands on the actual test results, and have a look at what your ferritin level is. To read more about optimal ferritin (iron storage), why it matters for health optimisation, and if you would like a break down of the scientific references that got me to these optimal ranges, head to my blog post here: https://mprecisionhealth.com/what-your-ferritin-levels-really-should-be-for-optimal-health-performance-and-longevity/
