I just want to add a couple to Sandra’s wonderful list of foods. One of the fastest ways to raise your iron levels is to add seaweed to your diet. Especially wakame and spirulina. I usually order organic dried wakame from Amazon (online health stores like vitacost have it too). Then at home you just need to soak it in water for 20 minutes ?and cook it any way you like, salad, soup, whatever. Spirulina usually comes in powder, so you can add it to smoothies, juice or yogurt. I’ve always had low iron and these two foods have made a big difference for me.?

Also, keep in mind that often the underlying reason is poor gut health. Focus on improving the gut lining and you’ll see a big difference. That’s why sauerkraut is such a huge part of the Budwig diet. It’s also really helpful to add aloe vera, ?dandelion greens and astragalus to your daily diet. They improve the absorption of all nutrients through the gut. Especially astragalus has been a game changer for me. I no longer need to take iron pills every day.?

I hope this is helpful to you.

All the best,
