Iron overload but I feel anemic?! 🩸 I’m so tired, my hands are freezing, and my energy is GONE. My iron is high, but I swear I have anemia symptoms. Has anyone else dealt with this?!

I ate spinach for YEARS thinking I was being healthy… turns out it’s loaded with iron AND vitamin C! 🤦♂️ What ‘healthy’ food did you have to cut out after diagnosis?

Same with lentils! I thought they were a great protein source, but they’re sneaky high in iron. 🥣

You’re smart to think ahead! Test your ferritin & transferrin saturation every 6-12 months to catch changes early. 🔍 👍

Start iron-blocking habits now—drink tea with meals, avoid iron-fortified foods, and stay active.

If you could change one thing about managing HH, what would it be?

Better guidance about everything! Yes, I also wish I knew how important my diet! I really wish I knew the impact of other heavy metals and how they relate to HH!

That I knew that I needed to worry about Free-Iron! My Dr. didn’t even understand Free-Iron! I swear he wanted to give me that look, but knew my facts!

What’s one food you thought was ‘safe’ for HH but later found out it wasn’t?

For those of you using The Binding Factor, are you taking it every day or just with iron-rich meals?

What’s the hardest part about managing HH? For me, it’s constantly thinking about food. It’s exhausting.

Has anyone looked into The Binding Factor? I saw the research on its ingredients, and I’m thinking of trying it. At this point, I’ll try anything!

I just ordered mine! The ingredients are actually backed by science, which is rare for supplements.

I just signed up for the custom HH meal plan! It’s tailored to my iron levels and helps me figure out what to eat at the right time. Has anyone else tried it?

-
Yes! The AI customization makes it so much easier to plan meals without stressing over every ingredient. 👍

What do you eat on phlebotomy days? Some say eat iron-rich foods after, others say avoid them. What actually helps with recovery?

I would absolutely not each iron rich foods! After a phlebotomy your body dumps Iron into your bloodstream. I take The Binding Factor right after. I also do an IV. I have green tea with dinner as well. Lock and Block it!
