Is It Really Low Iron? with Michael Rutherford

Is It Really Low Iron? with Michael Rutherford

Author: Leanne Vogel August 26, 2025 Duration: 54:42

Think you're iron deficient? You might be… but not for the reasons you think. In this replay episode, I sit down with Functional Nutritionist Michael, who breaks down what your iron markers really mean. We talk through the common missteps in diagnosing iron deficiency, the role of copper, vitamin A, and adrenal function, and when hormone imbalances are actually the root cause of your fatigue.

 

Plus, we unpack when organ supplements help, when they don't, and how to dig deeper if your labs look normal but you still feel off.
