Are you starting a plant-based diet but worry about getting enough iron? All your life, you’ve been on a meat-heavy diet and the idea of getting anemia has never crossed your mind. But now when you talk to someone about going plant-based, one of the first questions they tend to ask is, “Won’t you get low iron eating vegan?” Perhaps even your doctor has raised this concern.   So what’s the deal on iron? Do you need to worry about it on a plant-based diet…or not? In this episode, let’s answer this question. We’ll look at whether you need to be concerned about getting low iron levels when you move to a plant-based diet, and discuss good plant-based sources of iron you can include into your meals.
