Welcome to Naturally You Radio – the podcast helping Black women to eat for health, think for happiness, and live in harmony. I’m your host, Leah Salmon – The Naturally You Coach, and in this episode, I’m diving into one of the most common yet often overlooked nutrient deficiencies affecting millions of women and children—iron deficiency.
If you’ve ever felt faint, lightheaded, tired for no reason, struggled with your period, low energy, or poor hair health, this one’s for you.
In this episode, I break down:
✅ What iron actually does in your body
✅ Symptoms & long-term impact of low iron
✅ Why iron deficiency disproportionately affects Black women
✅ How much iron we need at different stages of life
✅ 9 tried and tested natural ways to increase your iron levels—food, supplements, herbs & lifestyle changes
Whether you’re managing your health, preparing for pregnancy, or just want to feel more vibrant, these practical tips are for you.
💡 PLUS – I share a bit about my own journey with iron struggles in my teens and 20s, and how I’ve helped countless Black women improve their levels over the years.
