Iron Deficiency

Iron Optimization & Support
‍As a Functional Medicine Registered Nurse, We provide integrative, evidence-informed care to support patients experiencing persistently low ferritin or iron levels. At MedCAiRE Health, we specialize in creating personalized wellness protocols that address not only iron deficiency but also the root causes contributing to suboptimal health and chronic fatigue.

For individuals struggling with symptoms such as low energy, weakness, dizziness, or shortness of breath—often associated with iron-deficiency anemia—offer a comprehensive treatment plan that combines advanced therapies and functional medicine insights, including:

Venofer IV Iron Therapy
‍Venofer (iron sucrose) is an intravenous iron replacement therapy administered in a safe, clinical environment. It is especially beneficial for patients who are unable to tolerate oral iron supplements or who have underlying conditions that impair absorption, such as gastrointestinal disorders (e.g., celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease), post-bariatric surgery, chronic kidney disease, cancer-related anemia, or heavy menstrual bleeding. This therapy rapidly restores iron stores and improves energy and stamina.

Targeted Vitamin Injections and Supplementation
‍Intramuscular vitamin injections—such as B12, folate, vitamin C, and others—are selected based on individual deficiencies and needs. These work synergistically with iron therapy to enhance red blood cell production, support energy metabolism, and promote optimal iron utilization. Oral or sublingual supplements may also be recommended as part of a longer-term protocol.

Nutrition, Lifestyle, and Functional Testing
‍Through a functional medicine lens, I assess factors such as gut health, inflammation, nutrient absorption, hormonal imbalances, and dietary patterns that may be hindering iron uptake or contributing to fatigue. Personalized coaching and nutrition guidance are provided to support long-term improvements and prevent recurrence.

This holistic approach goes beyond symptom management—it aims to restore balance, optimize vitality, and enhance your overall well-being. Whether you're dealing with chronic low ferritin or seeking a sustainable path to increased energy and better health, we work together to identify the "why" behind your iron deficiency and implement strategies that work with your body, not against it.
