In this episode of The Autoimmune RESET, we explore the often-misunderstood connection between low ferritin and hair loss. Is iron supplementation really the right solution, or is there more going on beneath the surface? Join VJ Hamilton as we dive into the symptoms of low ferritin, the dangers of high iron and chronic inflammation, and the fascinating role of hidden infections—like Blastocystis, Helicobacter pylori, and Candida albicans—in hijacking iron and making matters worse.

We’ll also discuss how high ferritin can be a marker of inflammation, why the real problem may not be iron deficiency but iron utilisation, and how copper plays a key role in the process. Plus, learn about anaemia of chronic inflammation, what tests you need, and how to address this complex issue holistically.

If you're struggling with hair loss, fatigue, or persistent low iron levels despite supplementation, this episode is packed with valuable insights to help you uncover the root cause and take control of your health. Tune in to learn why more iron isn’t always better!
