#125 ADHD & Iron levels - We need to be talking about this!

Did you know iron levels play a HUGE role in dopamine & serotonin production (2 things ADHD brains already have less of)? And that low iron can mimic or worsen your ADHD symptoms?

And studies show that people with ADHD are more likely to have lower iron levels!!!

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a topic I wish more ADHDers knew about: Iron & ADHD.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• Why iron is essential for ADHD brains
• What low iron presents like & how it overlaps ADHD symptoms (hello, brain fog, fatigue, low mood, anxiety & more!)
• Why women are especially at risk and why low iron often gets missed
• Why your typical blood test won’t catch it and what to ask your doctor for instead
• How to check your ferritin (think: how many little ferrets are running around your bloodstream!)
• Why blindly taking supplements can be dangerous (too much iron is also problematic!)
• The 3 steps you need to take to get properly tested and supported

Low iron doesn’t cause ADHD - but it can crank up your symptoms and make thriving feel impossible. This could be a game-changer for how you feel and function.
