294: If you struggle with candida, are low in iron or have been diagnosed with anemia, or perhaps you're pregnant and have been told to take iron supplements, I urge you to listen to this episode before taking additional steps. Morley Robbins is back after 2 years of initially being on my podcast back in 2023 and we dive into the confusing topic of why so many are anemic despite getting iron infusions, taking iron supplements, and even eating red meat and liver without any improvements. This episode may be the answer you're looking for when it comes to iron deficiency. In fact, you probably have an overload of iron but are missing other elements in your diet that facilitate iron absorption and iron in the blood vs. iron in the tissue. Just like certain vitamins are fat soluble which means you need fat to be able to absorb those vitamins, iron needs other co-factors to be able to be utilized properly.  Oh, and I know I mentioned candida! And if you have candida, most likely you are anemic and if you're anemic, you probably have candida! This is not a doom and gloom episode, but quite an inspiring one because this gives hope and insight to those looking for answers.  Topics Discussed: → Why iron isn’t the cause of anemia → The difference between iron in the blood vs iron in the body tissue → Iron recycling  → The role our spleen has on the body and iron → How to support the spleen naturally → What causes our spleen to not function properly  → Mind body connection → Heme iron vs non-heme (synthetic) iron → Why fortified products are not good for you → Why iron infusions could do more harm than good → The role copper plays in iron absorption → Why donating blood is beneficial for our bodies → Why getting iron tests while pregnant is inaccurate → Why we need retinol and beta-carotene → The candida and iron connection   As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.
