I just got blood work done and have been feeling very run down. My iron is very low (I expected that) and also my b- vitamins (my naturopath said my RBCs are a bit large) and my vitamin D is almost completely depleted - a 9.5 level when normal is around 65!
I am new-ish to TF - I have been trying to implement some of the ideas over time, but now I feel I need to step it up.
I also feel I need to supplement for a while. I am still nursing my 17 montho old so I am worried about her levels too. I am currently taking NN CLO and give her a little too - but I haven't been great about remembering it every day
I've read that Blue Ice is better, so I will maybe try that next time.
We obviously need to try to get into the sun more, but here in Seattle there isn't usually a lot of sun this time of year (today is great though - we are heading out very soon!).
What else can I do? Both through diet and through supplements? I feel I am depelted in minerals too and I am worried about our bones and teeth.
Liver? Bone broths? (which are most nutritious? I have only made them with chicken carcasses) Greens?
Any input would be appreciated. I feel a little overwhelmed and I want to take action ASAP. I am going to the HFS in a little while and she wants me to get a D supplement (she mentioned carleson's pearls or Biotics drops) but I am worried about synthetic D - how do I know if it is natural?
Thanks for your advice!
