Agreed! I was recently hospitalised due to severe panic attacks and anxiety with major depression and the doctors found out I had Beri Beri! This is caused by severe deficiency of Vitamin B1 Thiamine. They also said I had malnutrition. I could hardly stand up and had severe shortness of breath and a racing heart etc. They treated my deficiencies first and slowly re-fed me as I was no longer eating much due to a suppressed appetite. Then they began treating my anxiety and depression. Psychiatric disorders need to be approached from a holistic point of view… as our mental health is so dependent upon our overall physical and nutritional health. It’s been a big learning experience for me and I’m so grateful to the doctors at the hospital who took my symptoms seriously and got to the bottom of it all. 🙏🏼❤️

It amazes me that you would waste your time on watching this discussion, between two trustworthy doctors, on IRON when you don't trust either of the sources and then to further comment on their credibility. Think you need to retreat back under the bridge!

Thank you Dr Cohen for this. For 2 yrs of feeling incredibly weak, breathless and struggling to walk up the stairs with heavy legs and strange feelings in my skin like insects crawling over me. I was in my late 40s at the time, previously fit long distance walker but very heavy periods. After numerous bloods tests with normal haemoglobin and told nothing wrong but eventually my Dr did a Ferritin test which discovered my serum ferritin was just 1. Months of Iron and eventually felt human again. Shame it took so long to diagnosis my latent aneamia.

I love how these men love sharing such information. You see joy and wonder on their faces as they learn and pass along useful information to better people's health.

Whilst researching oral versus IV iron infusions preoperatively, I interviewed a couple of people who, on the routine lifestyle questionnaire, had been suicidal. They were grossly anaemic and an iron infusion changed their lives in a blink. Had we not involved them in the research trial, I suspect that they may not be with us at this time. Such a simple test. Must include iron studies in the test!!! Hb is not enough.

Very happy to see this stated finally as important. I had extreme deficiency back in 2012 that had been going on at least 10 years untreated, and effected my life terribly. It was not until I saw a psychiatrist, who thought I was very mentally intelligent and sometimes its physical she saw my years of aneinia and sent letter to my doctor immediately that action was required, infusion... my level was 0.03 I was going to sleep after eating could hardly walk.. the psychiatrist said it effected everything... and that vitamin d was also critical as it was connected to our hormones and if going through menopause it was all so important she could not treat me,, until all was corrected in the body... woman especially need iron to be taken seriously.. with loss being monthly and different for each woman.. thanks for this today!

After I had had 2 babies and cancer with 4 surgeries in a 2 year period, I saw an English doc on FB after going down a rabbit hole about my hair loss. I had always had massive amounts of long hair and had lost so much I was looking at wigs. This doc was talking about ferritin(I was Technically not anemic any more), and so I begged my doc to test. Sure enough! I was below 10!!! I am still fighting to get it and my vitamin D levels up to where I feel good again, but MAN! Just what I have been able to do has helped TREMENDOUSLY!!! Vitamin D and iron, People! Get them in!

Thank you for this topic. And thank you so much for specifically mentioning celiac disease, few drs. bother and it remains heavily underdiagnosed. I have started taking iron supplements recently. I feel so much better. Iron deficiency also causes severe exhaustion and anxiety. It can lead to a high resting pulse. I believe I've had some degree of iron deficiency most of my life due to celiac disease. My anxiety and insomnia immediately went away once I took iron tablets. Due to losing my business during covid, I am really broke and can't really afford any supplements. However, iron tablets at my local pharmacy are so cheap that even I can pay for them: I get 30 for N$3.50(namibian dollars) That's 23 American cents for 30 tablets.

Dr Cohen's knowledge of nutrition is incredibly refreshing. As a nutritionist, I often see clients who have been all around the houses with orthodox medicine; they have insidious symptoms with no glaringly obvious cause. Exasperated doctors who don't have the detailed nutrition knowledge that Dr Cohen has often write them off as psychosomatic or put them on antidepressants. When we begin to address micronutrient deficiencies and their various causes, the transformation in wellbeing can be dramatic. Many doctors have very poor awareness of nutrition but Dr Cohen certainly isn't one of them. Great interview.

I suffered from anaemia as a child owing to the fact that I couldn’t absorb iron from food. I was hospitalised , many times because I kept passing out. The medics didn’t find out the cause until I was 17 so I was ill a lot of the time owing to a lack of iron. Eventually, I was prescribed ferrous sulphate and took this medication until I reached the menopause…..!!! I’ve recently had a blood test and I’m no longer lacking iron….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I shifted my diet to give my body everything it needs, the results were incredible. All around, but what surprised me the most was the improvement in brain function. I'd never thought there was too much off about how my brain worked, but when I gave my body good vitamins and minerals it was as if I'd taken some super drug. My brain felt as if it was firing on all cylinders, and it was finally clear that it hadn't been before. Anxiety gone, thoughts sharp and clear, drastically improved articulation, I could express myself with clarity and confidence that I'd never had. I took on a state of calm, sureness, steady smooth energy mental and physical. I just felt optimal, best way to describe it. All I did was cut the junk, and lived on a variety of veggies, w some fruits and meats. It's tough though, not eating things you shouldn't, especially in today's world where it's everywhere and everyone around you eats it. But I'm inching my way back to optimal.

Thank you Dr Campbell and Dr Cohen, this was very informative. Year ago I had fibroids and endometriosis and I was tested for iron deficiency and told that my levels were fine. I was only diagnosed with low iron when I began to haemorrhage during an operation to remove some fibroids. It took many months of building up my iron reserves to begin to feel anything like normal again. Also, regarding too much iron, my father had myelo dysplasia and required regular blood transfusions, at various times these transfusions were halted due to my Dad having too much iron, which they said could becoming life threatening. It is always amazing to me what a fine balance our system is. It gives me hope to see Doctors such as your selves, spreading knowledge and useful advice and also seeing that you both remain humble enough to say when you don’t know something and to also learn from each other.

Its really important that before anyone takes a high strength Iron Supplement they have their iron profile / ferritin checked with a blood test. 1 in 200 people of Western European origin can have the genetic condition called Hemochromatosis which is effectively Iron overload, and an iron supplement for those people will be a bad thing. In fact the symptoms of Hemochromatosis are similar to symptoms of Iron deficiency hence the iron profile / ferritin blood tests are so important. Hemochromatosis can be extremely dangerous untreated but is fortunately relatively easy to treat and manage once diagnosed.

There are a few different gene mutations needed to have clinical Hemochromatosis and depending what types the person has determines how severe their condition (just 1 gene and you are classified as a carrier). I read that 1 in 20 people of Western European origin may carry this gene and 1 in 200 (approx) have Hemochromatosis. IF the doctor does the gene test and it comes back positive (2 mutated genes) and your iron /ferritin is over a certain level they should refer you to a Haematologist.

When i started giving blood i asked after a couple of times why i couldn't donate a couple of times a month. The doctor told me that the volume is replaced in about 24 hrs but replacing the iron takes a long time because it is absorbed quite slowly into the system. He then said that i would get anaemic quite quickly losing that amount of blood on a too regular basis. I remember coming away that time feeling educated in a small area but which seemed to be a catalyst for me to take my health more seriously than before in that what we eat, drink etc. has the main effect on our health and function. These doctors that share their knowledge in such a pragmatic and understandable way will always be a source of education. It is much appreciated and should be shared. Seasons Greetings.

Quite amazing knowledge of nutrition. I wish this knowledge was more common, and actually put into practice here in UK to keep us at optimum health.

I really value what Dr. Cohen has to say. Thank you for the interview(s). Plus, I'm mostly vegetarian and I had thought B-12 was what I had to watch, but forgot about iron.

Thank you both so much!

My friend and myself both got chronically constipated on the iron tablets given us years ago when pregnant. My Friend was very low in iron so was worried. I was pregnant the year before her and I had stopped the tablets and esten raw parsley and green pepper every day and my tests had been fine so I told her to try that. She did and her iron levels were perfect also the next test. So they are my main sources of iron since.

Thank you for talking about this, and particularly for discussing how/why low iron might be missed. I had undiagnosed low iron for years because it was technically in the "normal" range, and they only finally discovered it because I happened to get a regular blood test during a dip. Once I started taking heme iron supplements, my chronic pain dropped by around 50% in the first week, and I went from sleeping 10-14 hrs/day to around 6 hrs/day within a few weeks. Thank you also for addressing the dangers of iron, because I kept taking the supplements every day for around 2 years and nearly poisoned myself. Now I'm pretty much getting my iron from my diet, but it's difficult to balance and I wish it were easier to find a doctor who could guide me through this process more effectively (and safely).

Fascinating. Thanks Dr Cohen. It's hard to understand first time, since English isn't my first language. Watched it twice. Thanks Dr John for this!

Thank you both. May God bless both of you and your loved ones...

Thank you both so much for this incredibly useful and informative discussion on iron. My step-daughter has always been incredibly athletic and a healthy eater, yet has often been plagued by depletion of iron. We never made the connection between high level fitness and iron deficiency until you first mentioned it as a side comment in your equally fantastic recent discussion together on vitamin D and Zinc optimisation. Thank-you both! I wonder if you could also discuss Nattokinase as an alternative to Statins for those of us who have high cholesterol, despite following a healthy diet? There are numerous papers on this from Japanese researchers which provide good evidence that Nattokinase is highly protective against stroke, heart disease and high blood pressure. Like vitamin D it is ubiquitous, cheap and extremely safe to take with no irreversible side effects, unlike Statins. Made from Natto (fermented soy beans) a dish originating in China and Japan that has been around for hundreds of years in East Asian diets, with incredible human health benefits. Thank you 🙏

To anyone who has a hard time taking iron, take it with Vit C and take it before bedtime. It seems to be more gentle that way. Cheers.

I’m learning so much. Both of these men are credentialed drs and very professional and caring. Thank you both 🇨🇦

Thank you both for taking the time to educate us. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have celiac as well but the one thing I found due to my iron deficiency anemia was that normal iron pills were way to hard on my system so I started taking blood builders which is iron along with vitamin b and my iron levels went up to the normal level for the first time in 17 years! If iron pills or folate pills aren't helping try blood builders. It's my life saver.

The type of iron can be a factor, I recommend ferrous fumerate, rather than IRON II Glycinate which is the more common version, as the former seems to be more gentle on the digestive tract. I am a celiac also

Excellent topic. I've recently started taking an iron supplement for a deficiency found during annual blood work. A first for me and the only match up is donating blood more often. This talk explains a lot that I didn't find anywhere. Late 60s here, no symptoms but a few side effects. Much appreciated!

This was very interesting. Thank you so much for this informative presentation on iron Dr. Cohen.

“Without going into the specific role in the immune system..” Alas, that is the thing people need to know. In the early days of the pandemic, it was thought (mainstream doctors) that iron was being dumped into the body as cells were “imploding” caused or contributed to the strong bodily reaction. High iron is also implicated in many diseases. Specifics are REALLY needed here.

A wonderful subject. I developed RLS (restless leg syndrome) in my 30's. My doctor prescribed Requip for it. I hate using drugs without just cause. I had a 3 day training session to go to out of town so I postponed the prescription until my return. In the mean time I found an article online from a University study on the subject. Back then RLS was still being investigated as to the cause. The study suggested a lack of iron caused a drop in dopamine. Dopamine needs iron to be made by the body, it's also used for muscle control. I decided to use an iron supplement for the 3 days I would be gone. Two days after starting the supplement I noticed that my RLS subsided. I choose the iron over Requip and I still take it daily. My symptoms have pretty much disappeared a stay that way unless I miss a day. When I told my doctor he was a bit miffed I snubbed the drug for a supplement. My argument was I choose life over dependency on a chemical.

Very informative! You guys make a great wellness team!

This video was fantastic for me, I’ve been going through anemia trouble and the battery of tests that followed ( the doctor panicked). And thanks to the comments I’m now certain low iron caused me a period of extreme anxiety and stress. My iron is up to the low end of normal now and my anxiety and stress is way down. Eureka!

It's wonderful to see the medical establishment taking nutrition seriously! A couple of important points to add to the discussion: - don't take Iron supplements at the same time as taking zinc [they both compete for the same receptors] - Tannins, found in tea and some foods, bind with Iron - so us Brits who drink loads of tea could be causing iron deficiency that way as we aren't absorbing iron properly - B vitamins are also important, especially B12 for the synthesis of iron and to avoid anaemia. Ensuring we get sufficient B vitamins daily [as they aren't stored in the body] is important - green leafy veg are a good source and/or a good quality B complex supplement Dr Dawn, Nutritional Therapist. Wishing all good health and happiness 😊

I just went through this myself. Normal iron/ferritin though on the low end July 2020. Dealing with major unknown gastro issues since April 2020. Started supplementing with various iron supplements in September 2020. My numbers continued to go down. Finally a few months ago, I ditched the supplements. And focus on the absorption issue. I was already having enough iron before, even if not meat based. Finally, after only 3-4 months my iron and ferritin are normal. And better than they were in July 2020. Still trying to get iron and ferritin closer to 100 but they are in normal ranges. Huge improvement in CFS.

If you're not getting it from your diet it's important for everyone to be supplementing with omega 3 fatty acids. DHA and EPA from fish oil being the best sources. North American diets tend to be heavy in Omega 6 fatty acids. You want a roughly 1:1 ratio between the two (n-3 and n-6).

My lab test came back a few months ago with low iron, so I take iron now and feel a LOT better.

This is fantastic:) not only is it good to know that Vit. C helps with absorption, but it's good that know that calcium competes with absorption. I have been mildly anemic all my life and this i have learned. Also, if you take food based supplements, there are no GI issues.

Right on Drs. Cohen and Campbell! Dr. Samuel Johnson said, that “we need not so much to be instructed as reminded.” Depression and ADHD require iron and iron binding blood tests for their work up as do most admissions to rehab and long term care. We were taught this in medical school but one can easily forget these. Admission to hospital usually does not require these tests and we teach Med students to reduce expensive and low yield tests that don’t pertain to the acute hospital stay and getting the patient out. This practice places the burden of remembering to check the test after discharge to home or long term care on the pcp or long term care doc. Great session. Patients: it is ok to remind your doc of this. If your pcp is offended, they need an “attitude adjustment.”

Thank you, Doctors, wonderful stuff, concise information. Always good, to learn.

i am hooked on your discussions.So much common sense and logic

I used to work 12hr nightshifts, so slept during daylight hours. On weekend nights off, when I went out in daylight, my eyes used to get really sore. Iron was suggested to me to take. When I took it my eyes didn't hurt in daylight.

This was very interesting for me as I've got Coeliac Disease and didn't know the connection with deficiency. I landed up in hospital, collapsing at home several years ago and my visiting doctor sent me to hospital as he said I was suffering from ataxia? I had been on Omeprazole for reflux (hiatus hernia) for several years. The consultants after 5 days told me I was very anaemic though happily told me I hadn't got Addisons, whatever that is. Later I read research that PPIs could damage the "intrinsic" factor. I probably helped them towards that conclusion! I had been retired with depression at 47 yrs old and 18 years later I was found to have Coeliac disease after Barium meals, and lots of other gut and stomach check-ups. When at the grand old age of 65! I got diagnosed properly my Depression fell away like magic. I think it was malnutrition causing burnout rather than depression.

Long term proton pump inhibitors, like omeprazole or esomeprazole, (or any other kind of stomach acid-suppressing meds, like the histamine 2 receptor antagonists, cimetidine, ranitidine or famotidine), can cause vitamin B12 deficiency. This can lead to a kind of anaemia (megaloblastic) or neuropathy in your hands and feet, with paraesthesia (pain, pins and needles). I had that till I was treated. Do get your B12 level checked or take a high potency B12 supplement. The vitamin, in any form, is water soluble so you pee out any excess and won't overdose on it. As the guys on this video reveal, the idea a balanced diet negates need for supplements of vitamins and minerals is just wrong for many of us.
