Anemic, exhausted, and spending hundreds on iron infusions? You need to hear this story. ⤵️
I just saw a 38-year-old patient with a hemoglobin of 7 (normal is ~12). She was paying $300-$600 for every iron infusion, yet she was still completely drained.
The cause wasn't a mysterious iron problem. It was heavy periods.
And the cause of her heavy periods? Low Progesterone.
Here’s the mechanism: No ovulation ➡️ No progesterone production ➡️ The uterine lining builds up without a signal to stop ➡️ A heavy, draining period occurs, depleting your iron.
We didn't just treat her anemia; we treated the cause. By prescribing progesterone, we are working to stop the cycle at its source. Now she understands the why behind her exhaustion and may never need another costly infusion.
Don't just put a band-aid on your symptoms. Find the root cause.
