How to Help Kids with Low Iron

In this episode, I talk about how to help kids with low iron. As a parent myself, I navigated the challenges of iron deficiency with my first child, experiencing firsthand the impact it can have on growth and development.

This is not just about understanding the basics; it's about equipping ourselves with the knowledge to support our children's health. We explore iron's critical role in early brain development and overall well-being, distinguish between iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia, identify symptoms to watch for, and uncover the factors that can put our kids at risk.

Join me as we navigate through practical strategies, from incorporating iron-rich foods into daily meals to considering supplementation under the guidance of healthcare providers. Let's ensure your child thrives with the nourishment they need.
