254. Is Low Ferritin Making Your Anxiety Worse? ft. Dr. Kate Lyzenga-Dean

In this insightful episode, hosts Alison Seponara, MS, LPC and Taylor sit down with Dr. Kate Lyzenga-Dean, a functional medicine consultant, to explore an often-overlooked connection between low ferritin (iron storage) and anxiety symptoms. Dr. Kate breaks down what ferritin is, why it’s essential for both mental and physical health, and how low levels can actually mimic or worsen anxiety, fatigue, and mood changes. Together, the trio uncovers how issues like heavy menstrual cycles, chronic stress, and H. Pylori infections can impact iron absorption and overall well-being. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who’s been told “your labs are normal” but still doesn’t feel like themselves. Dr. Kate empowers listeners to become their own health advocates, understand their lab results, and ask for the right tests to uncover what’s really going on inside the body.
