For those who don't want to sit through the entire podcast episode, here's the Executive Summary: If you or someone you love has a uterus and they are complaining of changes in their menstrual cycles, heavy bleeding, fatigue, unknown / mysterious malaise, here's what needs to be done: Ask your medical providers to perform an ultrasound of your pelvis and order BOTH Iron AND Ferritin blood tests.
