🤦♀️ 📈 Reference intervals for Diagnosing ID- the numbers don’t explain the change📉🤦♀️
🌍 There are over 100 different clinical definitions/models of iron deficiency severity that may be used to explain a blood test result 🤯
🧬 Understanding that optimal iron status (and changes in one’s iron status) is not a one-size-fits-all- is a crucial concept we instil at @TheIronClinic 🧬
Knowledge of iron deficiency in the context of yourself (genetic make-up, physiological make-up, lifestyle) can be extremely beneficial as it may assist in early detection of iron status decline - allowing for preventative treatment 👩🏻⚕️ 💊
💉.....instead of the insidious decline it commonly has on a quality of life.
