There’s a common concern I see among those wanting to start a plant-based diet lifestyle. And it’s this. It’s a fear that eating this way will cause them to seriously lack key nutrients, because they’re taking out meats, dairy, eggs and other animal-based foods from their meals. Do you have this fear too?   If so, iron might be one of those nutrients you are especially worried about when making this big lifestyle shift. Since meats are a source of iron, it’s natural then to be wondering, “Will eating plant-based make me end up with nutrient deficiencies and get health problems like iron deficiency anemia?”   Let’s talk about it. In this episode, we’ll look at the importance of iron for our bodies, how common iron deficiency anemia really is, and what the recent research is showing. That way, we can better answer this question.
