    When it comes to iron deficiency, simply taking an iron supplement isn’t always the solution. One key piece of the puzzle that’s often overlooked is iron absorption. Without proper absorption, even the best iron-rich foods or supplements won’t have the desired impact on your iron levels.

    In this episode, I dive into the importance of iron absorption and how you can improve your body’s ability to absorb this essential mineral.

    In this episode, I discuss:

    How iron is absorbed in the body and the key factors that support optimal absorption.The importance of stomach acid in iron absorption and the common factors that can negatively impact stomach acid levels.Why taking iron every day may not be the best approach for everyone.The significance of choosing the right form of iron in a supplement and why more iron isn’t always better.Why individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are more prone to iron deficiency and what to consider for proper management.The difference between haem and non-haem sources of iron, and how to make sure you’re getting enough from your diet.

    If you’ve been struggling with low iron levels despite taking supplements or eating iron-rich foods, this episode will help you understand what might be going wrong and give you practical tips to support your body’s iron absorption.

    In this weeks episode, Jess is joined by Clinical Psychologist Brita List to chat about the psychological approach to PANS and PANDAS in children. Paediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections (PANDAS) and Paediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome (PANS) occur after an infection, most commonly a strep infection. In PANS and PANDAS, the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain cells, leading to autoimmune processes that affect central nervous system function.

    In this episode, Jess and Brita will discuss the following:

    What is PANS and PANDAS from a psychologists perspective;How to differentiate between PANS, OCD, and anxiety; Brita's journey to working with PANS; Barriers PANS families face in seeking support and reasons behind them; Comparing psychological interventions for PANS with other conditions;Healthcare professionals who can support PANS families.

    Through the expertise of Clinical Psychologist Brita List, listeners gain a deeper understanding of PANS and PANDAS and the unique challenges faced by families seeking support. This discussion emphasises the need for a comprehensive support team, including professionals beyond just the medical field. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand PANS and PANDAS.
