Ferritin: The Blood Test Women Should Get at Every Doctor's Visit

Update: 2021-02-05

Description

In episode 32 of The Healthy Family Podcast, host Maryann Jacobsen discusses her recent experience with iron deficiency anemia. This led her to research iron and what she could have done differently. She discovered this all could have been avoided if she simply tracked her ferritin. Yet no doctor every measured this until it was too late.

Taken from a detailed post on her blog, this podcast covers everything women need to know about ferritin. And why this simple test is so important.
