Resources
Patient education and knowledge is something I value especially as I focus on preventative medicine.
Here are some common resources that I would normally recommend to my patients.

Iron deficiency
Did you know that:
Iron is best absorbed when taken with Vitamin C, or with food that contains Vitamin C (e.g. kale, broccoli etc.)
Iron should not be taken with calcium containing foods/supplements (think milk, yoghurt, your morning white coffee etc.) as it reduces iron absorption
Take iron rich food/iron supplements at least 2-3 hours away from your calcium containing food/supplement
For more information about daily iron intake and iron rich foods, check out

The above resources are designed to inform you on your options, and answer simple questions you may have. It is always important to seek formal medical advice before deciding to start any hormone therapies as they should be tailored to your needs, your risks and your health goals
