3504: You May Have Low Iron Even When Ferritin is Normal? (ACD)

TWT: You May Have Low Iron Even When Ferritin is Normal? (ACD)

Normal blood work doesn’t always tell the full story—especially when it comes to iron and energy levels.

You might be feeling tired, weak, or noticing thinning hair—classic signs of low iron—even if your ferritin levels appear normal.

On today’s show, I’ll break down why you can still have low iron despite “normal” test results.

We will also go over the four key markers to include in a complete iron panel, why ferritin alone can be misleading, and how to uncover the root causes of low usable iron—so you don’t just mask the issue with endless supplements.

So join me on Cabral Concept 3504 to discover why you may have low iron even when your ferritin looks normal.

Enjoy the show, and I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways:

1. Ferritin is Not The Full Picture
Normal ferritin only shows stored iron. You also need serum iron, TIBC, transferrin, and saturation levels to know what’s actually usable.

2. Inflammation Can Lock Iron
The body may withhold iron during infections, gut issues, or toxicity to avoid “feeding” pathogens or cancer cells.

3. Root Cause Matters
Low usable iron may not need more iron supplements, but instead addressing deeper issues like gut health, heavy metals, or nutrient deficiencies.
