Jen Gunter Instagram – I had a great conversation on @zoe about all things menstruation! Here we are talking about iron deficiency, which it would be fair to call an epidemic, especially for women under the age of 25 (but to be sure we see it among all ages of women who menstruate!). Iron deficiency is its own medical condition. Anemia is just one consequence! Brain fog, hair loss, restless leg syndrome, and depression can all be a consequence of iron deficiency. I cover the tests and all the treatment options for heavy bleeding in my book Blood: The Science, Medicine, and Mythology of Menstruation. So after listening to this podcast you want more info, you know here to find it! I do hope you check out the podcast. We covered so many menstrual-related topics!
