Functional Lab Series: Why We Run a Full Iron Panel on our Period Loss Clients

If you've only ever had your ferritin or serum iron tested, you may be missing a huge piece of the fertility puzzle. In this episode of our Functional Lab Series, I'm breaking down why we run a comprehensive iron panel—not just a single iron marker—on every woman we work with inside Premier Period Recovery for Fertility. You'll learn why iron is about so much more than anemia, how nutrients like copper, zinc, vitamin A, and ceruloplasmin impact your body's ability to use iron, and why digestion plays a critical role in restoring ovulation and fertility. If you've been eating more, exercising less, and still don't have your period back, this episode will help you understand why looking deeper matters. In this episode, you'll learn: * Why ferritin alone doesn't tell the whole story * The difference between serum iron, ferritin, TIBC, and percent saturation * The key nutrients required for healthy iron metabolism * How gut health impacts iron absorption and fertility * Why functional lab testing can uncover hidden roadblocks to getting your period back Resources mentioned: Watch the free training: Restore Your Fertility in 90 Days (or Less) [https://nourishedfertility.co/resources/free-training/] Learn more about Premier Period Recovery for Fertility [https://nourishedfertility.co/] Rachel's HTMA episode [https://nourishedfertility.co/podcast/htma-episode/] and Amanda's HTMA episode [https://nourishedfertility.co/podcast/what-your-mineral-ratios-reveal-about-fertility-thyroid-health-stress-with-amanda-montalvo-rd-n/] on the show

What Your Mineral Ratios Reveal About Fertility, Thyroid Health & Stress with Amanda Montalvo RD/N

WATCH ON YOUTUBE HERE [https://youtu.be/HYTxMuNnRFA]. Have you ever looked at your HTMA results and thought: "Okay... but what does any of this actually mean?" If so, today's episode is for you. I'm joined by women's health dietitian and HTMA expert Amanda Montalvo for a deep dive into one of our favorite parts of the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test: significant ratios. Inside Nourished Fertility, HTMAs have completely transformed how we support women with period loss, fertility struggles, thyroid symptoms, and hormone imbalances. These tests allow us to see deeper than standard blood work and understand how stress, metabolism, nervous system function, thyroid health, and mineral status are impacting your fertility journey. In this conversation, Amanda breaks down exactly what significant ratios are, why they matter, and how they help us understand what's happening behind symptoms like: * Missing or irregular periods * Fertility challenges * Low energy and burnout * Thyroid symptoms * Blood sugar instability * Anxiety and overwhelm * Difficulty recovering from stress We also discuss why hormone imbalances are often the last thing to show up in the body—and why minerals may be the missing piece you've been overlooking. If you've completed an HTMA, are considering one, or simply want a better understanding of how minerals impact fertility, this episode is a must-listen. Ready to Restore Your Fertility?
