IC Healer podcast

Doctors may erroneously
look at ferritin levels as a
marker for iron status...
-it doesn't become elevated
until late in the disease
In early stages, best to
check transferrin saturation
Elevated when greater than 45%
Elliot Overton:
"I feel best when 30-35%
Above 40% my symptoms
go down hill"

SHBG [sex hormone-binding globulin]...
-tends to be reduced under
oxidative stress
Liver inflammation usually
associated with lower
SHBG
SHBG is actually associated
with insulin sensitivity
-both increase together

Why would SHBG go up with
iron overload?
Case Study:
man with hypogonadism on
testosterone replacement
-he developed
erythrocytosis
-high hematocrit
[thickening of blood]
