Everything you need to know about iron deficiency in 60s
Things that just make sense in our private iron clinic.
Magazines, a choice of herbal teas, tea and toast, and a book while you relax in HBOT. Molly shares a few of the little details around IronOx.

"I definitely started to feel like I could do long walks... I went hiking the other day without an issue." — Amelia, after her iron infusion.
Low iron can quietly turn normal life into effort. Amelia describes feeling great again after the first couple of weeks, getting back to long walks, and feeling normal in everyday life.
If that sounds like you, check ferritin, not just haemoglobin. Free consultation, no GP referral. 📍 Cathedral Road, Cardiff

"It's definitely made a difference. I'm a bit more energetic and I don't feel so fatigued as much as I used to." — Menenzé, after her iron infusion.
Low iron can show up as exhaustion, brain fog, and feeling all over the place. If that sounds familiar, check ferritin, not just haemoglobin. Free consultation, no GP referral. 📍 Cathedral Road, Cardiff

Slept a full eight hours and still wrecked? Hair in the brush, freezing in summer, craving ice, breathless on the stairs. These can all be signs your iron stores are running low. Before you blame yourself for one more thing, ask for one number at your next appointment, your ferritin. General information, not a diagnosis, always check with a clinician.

Sleeping longer does not always solve persistent tiredness.
There are many possible causes, including stress, routine and sleep quality. But if it keeps
happening despite good sleep habits, it is worth speaking to your GP about whether blood tests,
including iron, are appropriate.
Low iron can also be associated with restless legs and ongoing fatigue. This is general education,
not a diagnosis.
Save this for the appointment you keep putting off. @ironoxclinic

Persistent exhaustion should not automatically be written off as stress, parenting or simply “life”. Symptoms can have many causes, so the useful next step is proper clinical assessment rather than normalising feeling unwell.

Dr Ros gives quick ratings to five familiar food and drink choices: spinach, tea or coffee with meals, red meat, fish, and lentils or beans. Food choices are only one part of iron assessment and treatment; individual dietary and medical advice may differ.

If iron tablets are making you feel awful, don't quietly stop and struggle alone.
Tell the clinician who prescribed them exactly what you're experiencing. They can review the product and discuss whether another formulation may be more suitable. Dr Ros also explains why medicine-specific advice and diet belong in that conversation—and why an iron infusion comes later, if oral options still do not work for you.
This is general information, not individual medical advice. Speak to your GP or prescriber before changing prescribed treatment.

Craving or chewing ice and persistent brain fog are two symptoms worth mentioning to a clinician. Neither symptom diagnoses iron deficiency, and both can have other explanations, but they should not be dismissed when they persist.

I remember crunching ice while I was pregnant and assuming it was just one of those things. It wasn't. Later, as a trainee doctor, I recognised the same pattern and discovered how difficult it was to access an iron infusion locally. That experience is where the idea for IronOx began.
This is Dr Ros's personal experience, not a promise of an individual treatment result. General information only; symptoms need individual clinical assessment. @rosmedics

Meet Fern, our animated IronOx character.
Slept eight hours and still feel wrecked? Fern connects persistent exhaustion with three symptoms worth mentioning: brain fog, feeling unusually cold and breathlessness on the stairs. These symptoms do not diagnose low iron and can have other causes. Ask a clinician whether checking your blood count and iron stores is appropriate.

Hair shedding can have several causes. If it appears alongside persistent tiredness or other symptoms, it may be worth asking whether an iron assessment is appropriate. This is general education, not a diagnosis. Take our symptom quiz to learn more.

Constantly exhausted, always cold, breathless on the stairs, more hair in the brush than usual, or weirdly craving ice? These can all be signs of low iron — and a standard blood test doesn't always catch it. The marker to ask for is your ferritin (a full iron panel). If a few sound like you, it's worth checking. We run full iron panels and iron infusions in Cardiff. Free consultation: https://ironoxclinic.com/book?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=073e2464-e60e-4a95-b0ec-09d3563adb15

Brain fog, constant exhaustion, a racing heart, hair falling out — and your bloods came back "normal"? They can all share one root. Iron carries oxygen around your body, so when iron drops, every system can feel it — often when ferritin is low long before haemoglobin falls. It's not separate problems; it can be one cause.

Ferritin is your iron reserve, and it usually does not rebuild overnight. Timelines vary depending on your starting level, the cause, and the treatment plan. If you have started iron and still feel wiped out, ask what your ferritin is and when it should be reviewed. General information, not medical advice — book a consultation for a clinical assessment.

The iron-tablet rules nobody tells you 👇 Many people find iron absorbs better taken with vitamin C (a glass of orange juice, some peppers), while coffee, tea and calcium can block it — so keep those about two hours apart. Worth knowing: even timed perfectly, your gut only takes up a fraction of what's in a tablet, which is why low iron can drag on for months. The food rules still help — but if you've been topping up for ages and still feel empty, it may be worth a proper check. We do iron panels and infusions in Cardiff.

Most women have heard at least one of these: "your bloods are fine," "it's just stress," "you're eating well so it can't be iron." Sometimes that's true — but if you're still running on empty, it can be worth a closer look. A standard test often checks haemoglobin, not ferritin (your iron stores). You're allowed to ask about it specifically. Book a free consultation at https://ironoxclinic.com/book?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=c3127331-d338-441e-a8f9-91066bf65641.

How are you still wiped out by 3pm if your bloods came back “normal”? Meet the red blood cell that can’t fill up when your iron runs low…
Here’s the bit that gets missed: your iron stores (ferritin) can sit low for a long time before a standard test flags anaemia — and that gap is where the fatigue, brain fog and breathless stairs can live.
Next blood test, it’s worth asking for your ferritin number, not just whether you’re anaemic
