Iron is an essential mineral; WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT!  It is CRUCIAL for CARRYING OXYGEN in our body and if we don't have enough, may be excessively TIRED or LOW ENERGY among other things.  Depending on where we get it in our diet, from plant or animal foods, it is absorbed differently and we may be deficient and not event know it. 

We will talk about foods that are rich in iron, plant and animal and how to optimize our iron intake, absorption and even talk about supplementation and how to most effectively and efficiently do so to maximize the iron and its benefits in your life.
