#1012: Why Is My Ferritin Low? The 5 Patterns Doctors Miss

Low ferritin is rarely a simple iron shortage. Liz & Becca break down the five anemia patterns they see on an iron panel — true deficiency, a conversion problem, anemia of chronic disease, B12/folate anemia, and iron overload — and why only one of them is fixed by taking iron.

Covers the functional ranges they use, hepcidin and iron sequestration, why low ferritin drives heavier periods, when in your cycle to test, and the mitochondrial reason you can be exhausted with a perfectly normal CBC.
