🧠I’m NOT a physician (medical doctor), but I AM astounded by the research around iron as a cofactor in producing dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters that shape focus, motivation, and mood (etc).

🧠A PLOS ONE meta-analysis put it like this: “serum ferritin levels in ADHD patients were significantly lower than those in controls” (Wang et al., 2017).

🧠But here’s the important part:
🔸 Iron deficiency isn’t the cause of ADHD.
🔸 Taking more iron doesn’t cure ADHD.

🧠What it DOES suggest is that iron levels can influence how the brain uses dopamine.

🧠For some, low iron may worsen attention, mood, or fatigue. For others, restoring normal iron (with medical guidance) can help overall functioning, but ADHD is still a neurodevelopmental condition that requires BROADER support.

➡️I think this is VERY worth knowing. My iron had been profoundly low (I got infusions) when I was getting a regular period (I had golf-ball-size blot clots from the endo, and it was unsustainable without more iron, but “it was all in my head anyway so…that’s another story).

➡️Now, without bleeding like I did then (only from the progesterone to shed my uterus lining), my iron is OK.

➡️BUT, my ferritin, my IRON STORES are low! We do not talk enough about this. Then I got it up to “normal” which was 7 times LESS than actual OPTIMAL levels.

➡️I work CLOSELY with my patients’ physicians since I like every variable that’s IN our actual control to be fine-tuned. Vitamin D, Thyroid, IRON, ETC, so that we are working on executive functioning from the most sturdy place as possible:

➡️Always get labs checked and talk to a trained medical professional before supplementing. 🩺

How crazy is it that I forgot I could be a solid 7?!

A year and a half ago I quit practicing any self-care and if I had to guess I would say it’s because for numerous reasons, it was hard to love myself. I lost my shop and after packing up my wax pots, eyebrow tints, and nail polishes I simply just never got them out again.

Until now.

Beauty Is so much deeper than a manicure or nice brows and although the last 1.5 years were focused on the more important kind of beauty, Priority list A if you may, i didn’t for a second intend on forgetting all these little things that made me feel like me yet here I am checking off things from my priority B list. And naturally. I didn’t have to talk myself back into it after talking myself out of the thought 100 times nor did I have to drag myself out of bed to accomplish this. To me, this is a milestone🖤🖤
