You have been told your bloods are normal. You still feel exhausted.
This has been my research focus for years. Iron deficiency is one of the most commonly missed causes of fatigue in women, and it is often missed because the standard test looks at the wrong marker. Here is how to work out what is going on, and what to ask for next.
Could you be iron deficient?
A short set of questions about the risk factors and symptoms linked to iron deficiency. It is not a test and it does not diagnose anything. It reflects your answers back as a plain-language educational summary, and tells you whether a ferritin test is worth raising with your GP.
Two minutes and free. Nothing is stored unless you ask for the summary by email, and if you do, your answers are stored with it so the summary can be written for you.
Ready when you are.
Answer a short set of questions and get a plain-language summary you can take to your GP.

Common questions
Who is this for?
Professional women dealing with persistent fatigue, low energy or burnout who have been told their bloods are normal but still feel off.
What makes this different from other health coaches?
Years of clinical research and 30+ publications behind every protocol. Evidence, not wellness clichés.
Can you help with iron deficiency specifically?
It is my primary research area. I led a randomised controlled trial on iron therapy and co-authored clinical consensus guidance. I can help you read your pathology in context and prepare the conversation with your GP.
Dr Cory Dugan is a master of his trade. After having him on my podcast, Find Your Edge, a reputable podcast for endurance athletes, he’s clearly professional, knowledgeable and passionate about his work with iron deficiency in female athletes. I’m so excited that he’s pioneering this work for athletes to be able to truly excel.
