The Root Cause of Low Iron

 

While IV iron replenishes your stores, it doesn’t address the underlying reasons you became deficient. These can include:

• Poor absorption in the gut (from inflammation, low stomach acid, or conditions like celiac or IBS)

• Chronic blood loss (heavy periods, fibroids, GI issues)

• Dietary insufficiencies or poor nutrient synergy (e.g. low B12, copper, or vitamin C)

• Ongoing inflammation or chronic disease

• Undiagnosed infections or autoimmune conditions

Without identifying and treating these root causes, your iron deficiency is likely to return—along with the fatigue, brain fog, and other symptoms that come with it.

The Role of Naturopathic Medicine After Iron Infusion

Our Naturopathic Doctors take an integrative, whole-body approach to your health. Post-infusion, we help you:

• Identify root causes through advanced testing and a detailed health history

• Optimize absorption of nutrients through digestive support

• Balance hormones if menstrual loss is a factor

• Address inflammation or autoimmune activity

• Support long-term prevention through diet, lifestyle, and supplements

Think of Iron Infusion as the First Step

Getting an iron infusion is like filling up your gas tank—it helps you get moving again. But to keep your engine running smoothly, you need to maintain the system, fix the leaks, and tune the parts that aren’t working properly.

That’s where our Naturopathic care comes in.
