Iron deficiency is the most common mineral deficiency in the world. But there is a very simple natural solution.
Symptoms of iron deficiency:
• Hair loss
• Arrhythmias
• Fatigue and weakness
• Dark circles under the eyes
• Restless leg syndrome
• Difficulty sleeping
• Low cold tolerance
• Split nails
• Trouble concentrating
• Fibromyalgia
We need iron to help build hemoglobin and thyroid hormones, to make dopamine, and to keep nerve impulses working correctly.
There are many different causes of iron deficiency. However, it's more common to have non-anemic iron deficiency than anemia. This means that the lack of iron isn't affecting the blood yet, but it's affecting other parts of the body.
Iron deficiency causes:
• Not consuming enough iron (animal products)
• IBS
• Inflammation
• Stress or trauma
• Bleeding or ulcers
• Low hydrochloric acid
• Menstruation
• Gastric bypass surgery
• Excessive exercise
• Antacids
• Fibroids
• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding
• Puberty
• Eating disorders
• Phytic acid
• Tannins (tea, coffee, red wine)
• Chocolate
• Polyphenols (turmeric, red wine)
• Polymorphism
• Too much calcium or magnesium
• Infection
• Oxalates
It's best to get your iron from your diet before jumping into taking an iron supplement. Foods rich in iron are red meat, liver, and shellfish. However, liver pills or spleen pills could be good supplement options.
You also need to work towards identifying why you're iron deficient so that you can fix the root cause.
If you have too much iron in your body, you can try natural remedies, including:
• Distilled water
• Turmeric
• Cocoa bean
• Black tea
• A phytic acid supplement (IP6)
• EDTA

Thankful and grateful for your help in my homeopathic healing ❤
People’s mouths drop when I tell them I healed (medication induced) polycystic kidney disease and NAFLD with anti inflammatory FOOD for five years, gluten-free three years and supplements. Dropping sugar was the hardest. I kept the faith❤
@Steve Zubal listen to the entire video 🤪 ay ay ay
@Steve Zubal ay ay ay! Are you drinking the Coolaid?

That is awesome. What supplemental protocol did you use? Thanks for your response.
@E Adam watching Dr Eric Berg’s videos (and other holistic doctors) for over five years, taking notes too. You’ve got to do the work—it is work to save your own life. I did❤️

All the thanks go to you, Dr Berg!! The information you bring to us every single day is SO valuable. Absolutely cannot thank you enough!! 💜
Very glad to be of help.
Congratulations, Dr Berg! To go back to the topic, I was always anemic, though it’s nothing I can do about it as it run in the family. My iron levels were fixed when I cut off starchy carbs from my diet and most of sugars
Wow cutting the carbs helped with the iron levels?
Thank you for your continued support! Check out this video for more information: https://youtu.be/eqCensiK8Ac
Probably because she was eating less grains and grains contain phytic acid and phytic acid robs your body of iron.
Phytic acid is also terrible for your dental health, on a side note.
Dr. Berg, thank you so much. I started searching the internet instead of looking for medical advice after I was called a hypochondriac by a doctor when my ferritin level was so low, that it was not detectable by a test. Thanks to you I am fit and healthy now and I stay away from medications, including the experimental injectable ones. I truly believe you saved my life.
What about a lack of vitamin C? Isn’t that a cause of iron deficiency too?
@Snow Flake It could be, but it was not my case. There might be many different reasons why someone is defficient in iron. The role of a doctir should be to look for the underlying cause and not only, often unsuccessfully, treat the symptoms.
In my experience doctors get really offended if you self diagnose and I don’t mean in an absolute way, just an idea of what the symptoms may show. Basically anyone who has a degree thinks if you don’t, you aren’t qualified to think when, if fact, it could often be the opposite
@J. C. Torres never gonna happen
@brother NORB 100% agree. A patient is supposed to follow blindly the advice of THE DOCTOR. The doctor, on the other hand, is supposed to only follow a protocol, not even a tiny bit of common sense. If the patient’s condition doesn’t follow the same protocol – well. it’s the patient’s problem, not the doctor’s. Absolutely crazy system.
This is by far the most valuable channel on YouTube. Thank you so much Dr. Berg.
We deeply appreciate your feedback!
He’s not a real doctor.
@Shopping Rb He is the most real one if you consider the vast amount of information he shares about the human body and how various deficiencies affect it.

Very glad to be of help.
The second most common deficiency in the world, is Drs who understand the interactive nature of the human body. In Canada, before I abandoned the medical system, the rule for medical appointments was “only one symptom can be discussed per appointment”. If you had more than one symptom, you were quickly labeled a hypochondriac. Thanks to Dr. Berg, there are now 18 million people who are learning how little the legacy medical system knows about wellness. ❤️❤️❤️
@dellzy willis That is what my doctor said to me too!
@Juanita Hardy hahaha, good for you. ❤
@Debbie Mortinson true…in S.A they will just give you pills that won’t work …then you end up going time and time again for the same thing…then they refer you to a specialists who will do the same thing
@Skankhunt42 communist!!! Exactly!!! And that BOBBLE HEAD FREELAND!!! I CAN’T EVEN LOOK AT THAT TRUDEAU FREELAND HEARTLESS EMPTY BOBBLE HEADS. DESPICABLE!!!
@Tsholofelo Phatudi And the pills have so many side effects that the prescribe even more pills to deal with the side effects. In fact, all most doctors ever do is write a prescription.
Going to see a hematologist was one of the best things I’ve ever done. He was able to interpret the values for all the components of my blood to properly diagnose and treat my iron deficiency anemia. I require iron infusions occasionally but at least I’m being taken seriously and closely monitored. This is extremely valuable considering that I suffer from digestive and gynecological issues that exacerbate my anemia.
@Diana whats AVM?
@Vee Kay Arteriovenous malformations – which are small tangled up arteries and veins that come to the surface in my small intestine and have micro-bleeds off and on. They found them in my small intestine when I did the pill/capsule camera endoscopy. The capsule camera reaches areas of the intestines that can’t be reached with regular colonoscopies.
@Diana it never got caught in stool test? The bleed that is.
@Vee Kay No, they’re micro-bleeds that happen off and on, so they’re easy to miss with stool tests. So when they’re in an active bleed, I lose small amounts of blood which affects my hemoglobin, but also the AVMs themselves keep me from absorbing enough iron so my ferritin can drop (similar to those with celiac disease, etc). AVMs can be anywhere in the body, but they’re usually in the brain which can cause strokes. Having them in the intestines is kind of rare, but it does happen. Oh, and BTW, this is totally different than ulcerative colitis or other bleeding intestinal problems.
@Diana so whats the cure? Infusions all life?
Congratulations Dr. Berg! You are the most brilliant, ethical, giving, caring Doctor that I have ever known. You’ve helped me change my life, and yes, I agree with going with 100 million in 2023. We appreciate your honesty and hard work. We love how you explain everything so well. Keep it coming.
Love the science, I’m blown away by how much science is really at the root of nutrition. If this science was mainstream in the health care professions it would be a very different world. On to 1billion subscribers Dr Berg, you go!! thankyou
In 2020, I noticed hair loss without any other symptoms. Turns out it was low ferritin due to probably a combination of high intensity workouts and menstruation. I think this is missed in a lot of women.
I had had low iron before but the previous time, I had a lot of fatigue, out of breath, sighing a lot due to never having enough oxygen, achey calves, swollen tongue. Taking iron supplements helped at that time 10 years ago but this time around, my test was normal after a few months but then I started noticing hair loss again last year and now my iron levels are slightly low so back on iron. I don’t eat red meat that often maybe twice a month, it’s just so heavy. I prefer chicken and fish but I get the red meat will get me there quicker. I’ve reduced my workouts to low to moderate intensity so hopefully my levels will be normal again by December.
Thank you for sharing your story. I am always out of breath and as you said sighing a lot due to never having enough oxygen. People who talk To me always asked if I have an asthma since they saw how hard it was for ne to breathe. I am glad to see this video because I have almost all the symptoms Doctor Berg mentioned here. I will try taking liver pill which I hope will help me feel better.
@Henry Hendrika yes, the sighing is such a subtle nuance of it, I don’t think people even mention to their doctors or if many GPS even know that’s a sign. For me IME very fit and athletic so it really stood out. Same with a hey calves for no reason that never really goes away. Yes I’m gonna eat more liver but also check out liver pills too.
About 10 years ago, I was feeling extremely fatigued and had other symptoms as well. I just felt awful. I finally talked myself into seeing a doctor. I was hesitant because I had already developed a negative view of the medical community by that time. After telling the doctor of my symptoms, she proceeded to prescribe me Zoloft. I was LIVID!!!! I was NOT depressed….I knew there was a root cause to how I was feeling. I asked her about tests that could be done to pinpoint whatever was going on. She said no! What a crappy doctor! I got online and found a functional medicine doctor (something I had wanted to do to begin with, but knew my insurance wouldn’t cover it). This doctor spent an hour+ with me going over my full history, and then tested my blood for everything you could imagine…hormones, nutrients, etc. Guess what? I was ANEMIC!!! And very low in Vit. D. Those two deficiencies explained ALL of my symptoms. The ignorant first doctor could have easily tested my iron since the first symptom I mentioned to her was extreme fatigue. If I had trusted her, I would have taken a mind-altering DRUG and still would not have addressed my root cause. Shame on her!!!! I also learned (from the functional med doc) that my iron absorption was very low as well. Within ONE WEEK of taking iron (with C) and D3, I felt almost back to normal. We have to advocate for ourselves, even if it means paying out of pocket. Much of the medical community can no longer be trusted!
@mark miller I sure did! Another doctor in the practice apologized on her behalf. But she didn’t!
And if one truly needed Zoloft they won’t prescribe it. I think drs like being contrary w their patients because they need to feel superior.
Did we see the same doctor? I asked mine to run tests as well to find the cause of extreme fatigue and not only did she say no, she insinuated I was crazy and noted in my medical records that I “thought some blood test would fix my problems” My Vitamin D level was tested shortly thereafter by another doctor and came back at a 9. So yes a blood test did reveal answers and supplementation made a huge difference.
@Mrs Blue Sky I’m completely sure that medics don’t listen to the patient. They listen to the voices inside their heads. They’re already convinced of what you have and stop listening to every word you say.
If you ever experience this again, tell them to mark it in your chart that you were denied a test. Usually, they will do it. If not, and you go elsewhere and find out that there is something wrong…you could possibly sue for malpractice.
