As Mother’s Day approaches, we’re reminded of the power of care, connection, and nurturing – qualities we often associate with the women who’ve raised us.

Maybe you’ve even noticed that you lack the energy for workouts that used to leave you feeling energized.
While you might be writing these feelings off as burnout or the winter blues, these nonspecific symptoms could be a sign of low iron. Iron is essential for the production of hemoglobin, the component of our blood that carries oxygen from our lungs to our cells. If iron stores are low, the body may not be receiving optimal oxygenation, leaving you feeling fatigued, cold, or dizzy and lightheaded.
