Check out this weeks Post on the Home Page. You can really help Brain Fog by keeping your FREE IRON lower, as well as really watch what you eat. Custom Meal Plans really help that balance.

@steph Thank you for your comment. We are working on it. I do apologize the site is getting very large and we just had to move to a new server. That is on the list! Also Thank you all for bringing up some very interesting theories. We always need to question, and I will also look into the Iron and Aluminum as well! Happy Sunday!

Yes, it can be for sure! Unfortunately Dr.’s are not that well versed in Hemochromatosis. They just don’t ever test for it. I always went to my OBGYN, with complaints/symptoms so they are going to find something wrong with you in their field. You may have damage or inflammation from sports. If you want to share your test results, I could give you a better answer. If your Ferritin, Iron, and SAT% is high you have a lot of iron circulating around. Looking to bind into things like your joints, and organs. We are always here to help!

Hi, Adric, Lauren, and MidWest Iron Fighter! So glad you joined us! Hopefully you find it to be an easier group. I know MidWest has been here awhile, and we chat. You will find this is why we created this space. To challenge what we have been told, and to share our successes! This is not one size fits all! If you can Chelate Heavy Metals out of your system naturally why NOT Iron? Iron sadly is not even classified as a Heavy Metal, Eye roll! We have learned so much and we are completely honest in that we do use the pro version of A.I. the same one President Trump just invested 500 Billion in. So, we are not Dr.’s for sure, but the research does not lie… The Binding Factor is to be taken in the am, first thing. Because of the strength of things like IP6, we could not put essential minerals in the first one we came out with. It “possibly, could, might, who knows” chelate metals which would make some other things we need obsolete. Because they: “may possibly pull” those out as well, MAYBE! We are working on a day and night formula as well. It should be ready in a few weeks! Stay Healthy!

Yes, Madelyn! High iron levels can disrupt your gut in multiple ways. Excess iron <strong data-start=”344″ data-end=”370″>feeds harmful bacteria, reduces good gut bacteria, and increases <strong data-start=”413″ data-end=”433″ data-is-only-node=””>oxidative stress, leading to bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and inflammation. To start feeling better, try these steps:
✅ <strong data-start=”545″ data-end=”572″>Eat Iron-Blocking Foods – Coffee, tea, dairy, and calcium-rich foods help reduce iron absorption.<br data-start=”646″ data-end=”649″> ✅ <strong data-start=”651″ data-end=”680″ data-is-only-node=””>Support Good Gut Bacteria – Add probiotics (like <strong data-start=”704″ data-end=”731″>Lactobacillus plantarum) and prebiotic foods (asparagus, onions, bananas) to restore balance.<br data-start=”801″ data-end=”804″> ✅ <strong data-start=”806″ data-end=”831″>Limit High-Iron Foods – Reduce red meat, spinach, and iron-fortified products if they trigger symptoms.<br data-start=”913″ data-end=”916″> ✅ <strong data-start=”918″ data-end=”945″>Soothe Gut Inflammation – Drink <strong data-start=”954″ data-end=”1003″>aloe vera juice, chamomile tea, or bone broth to repair the gut lining.
Balancing your iron levels and healing your gut takes time, but small changes can make a big difference!

Yes! When your gut is inflamed from excess iron, eating <strong data-start=”422″ data-end=”467″>high-iron foods like red meat and spinach can make things worse. Spinach also contains <strong data-start=”513″ data-end=”525″>oxalates, which can irritate digestion, and red meat can trigger inflammation in people with iron overload. Instead, try getting iron from <strong data-start=”656″ data-end=”688″>low-absorption plant sources like chickpeas, nuts, and seeds. Pairing meals with <strong data-start=”741″ data-end=”758″>coffee or tea can also help block excess iron absorption, reducing gut stress!

Great question, Chris! Aloe vera juice is fantastic for soothing inflammation and supporting gut healing. Cutting out processed sugar is also a smart move since sugar feeds bad bacteria that thrive on excess iron. Other gut-healing foods include:
🌱 <strong data-start=”546″ data-end=”568″>Pectin-rich fruits (apples, pears, bananas) – Help remove excess iron & improve digestion<br data-start=”639″ data-end=”642″> 🥑 <strong data-start=”645″ data-end=”669″ data-is-only-node=””>Avocados & flaxseeds – Provide fiber & omega-3s for gut repair<br data-start=”711″ data-end=”714″> 🍵 <strong data-start=”717″ data-end=”747″>Chamomile & peppermint tea – Soothe acid reflux and gut irritation<br data-start=”787″ data-end=”790″> 🥒 <strong data-start=”793″ data-end=”812″>Fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, coconut yogurt) – Restore healthy gut bacteria
Making these changes can go a long way in calming inflammation and repairing your gut from iron-related damage!

Yes! If iron overload is disrupting your gut bacteria, regular probiotics may not be enough. Some probiotic strains struggle in a high-iron environment. Look for Lactobacillus plantarum or Bifidobacteria, which are more resistant. Also, try pairing them with prebiotic-rich foods like asparagus, onions, and bananas to help them thrive

You see Oxidate Stress as leading cause of SO much illness! That and inflammation! They don’t sound that bad, but they lead to serious health issues. Take a Bubble Bath with some candles, read a book or listen to calming music.
