In this episode, I discuss the differences between iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia.

Ferritin is the storage depot for iron. A ferritin below 30 is generally considered iron deficiency. Most people will feel their best with a ferritin above 70.

Anemia is caused by a lack of hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is crucial for health as it is a protein charged with transporting oxygen to cells and removing carbon dioxide from the body.
