For years, I struggled with an iron imbalance that just didn’t make sense. I have hereditary hemochromatosis, so technically, I was overloaded with iron—my transferrin saturation was through the roof. But at the same time, my ferritin was low, and other blood markers were constantly out of range. I saw specialist after specialist, only to be told,

“You just have unusual bloods.”

That might’ve been fine—if I actually felt well. But I didn’t. I was tired all the time, achy, getting sick often, and dealing with a bunch of symptoms that didn’t fit neatly into the “too much iron” or “not enough iron” box.

That’s when I started digging deeper. I discovered that my issues weren’t just about iron itself—it was about how I was absorbing, storing, and eliminating it. I needed more protein (not more iron), and I was missing key micronutrients. Genetics played a big part, but so did a lack of understanding around iron metabolism, even in the medical world.

So, I dove headfirst into the world of pathology, nutrition, and lifestyle medicine. I used my skills as a naturopath and nutritionist, and I made it my mission to understand how iron really works in the body—and how to support people dealing with similar imbalances.

Now, I help others decode their bloodwork, understand the deeper layers of their symptoms, and bring their iron—and overall health—into balance.
