But, it is due the fact of having something called hemochromatosis which is the largest un-diagnosed genetic condition amongst people of European descent. It is a mutation where the body absorbs too much iron and if blood is not donated on a regular basis, iron builds up to toxic levels and causes organ failure.  Women with the mutation typically don’t have to worry about it until after menopause but men on the other hand, it’s crucial to know if you have. Otherwise when women start going through menopause in their 50’s and just then have to start managing the condition, for men it could be fatal at the same stage of life. This is due to the iron being built up to such toxic levels where it starts causing heart failure, diabetes, cancer and potentially early death.  The way you screen for it is looking at your ferritin levels which is not something that is part of your annual blood work.  Specifically ask your doctor to check this and if it comes back over 336 micrograms per liter, you might want to take the genetic test for hemochromatosis. The good news if you’re a mutant with this condition…  The bubonic plaque has a hard time living in iron rich blood which is why it was passed down as a dominant trait when the plague went through Europe. The majority of the survivors were people with hemochromatosis. However, if you’re not worried about the plague, then get your ferritin checked and start donating.  Men one other thing to know…high iron can also low testosterone so before going onto TRT, make sure your doctor is checking your Ferritin. 🩸 🩸🩸 #ﬁtness #menshealth #fatloss #hormones #hormone #hormonebalance #WarriorsTogether #mentalhealth #resilience #suicideprevention
