00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.520
iron deficiency anemia can be a

00:00:02.520 --> 00:00:04.160
debilitating condition

00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:06.319
as you may already know if you've been

00:00:06.319 --> 00:00:08.880
diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia

00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:10.639
this video is going to help you a lot

00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:11.679
because i'm going to give you some

00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:13.280
information in it that you may

00:00:13.280 --> 00:00:16.560
never have heard before iron deficiency

00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:18.800
anemia is very very common across the

00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:19.359
world

00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:21.840
more than a billion and a half people

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:23.359
suffer from it

00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:26.240
symptoms include fatigue weakness pale

00:00:26.240 --> 00:00:27.119
skin

00:00:27.119 --> 00:00:30.000
shortness of breath dizziness pica which

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:31.279
means you have the

00:00:31.279 --> 00:00:34.000
overwhelming desire to eat dirt or clay

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:35.360
or ice

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:37.440
and leg tingling those are the most

00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:39.120
common symptoms

00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:40.800
the most common causes of iron

00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:42.960
deficiency anemia are either just not

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:44.399
eating enough iron

00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:47.440
or not absorbing enough iron and that's

00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:48.960
what this video is really going to help

00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:50.079
you understand

00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:52.640
or you're losing blood from your body

00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:54.160
somewhere that you may or

00:00:54.160 --> 00:00:56.800
may not know about so if you're having

00:00:56.800 --> 00:00:58.399
any of these symptoms or if you've been

00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:00.239
diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia

00:01:00.239 --> 00:01:01.840
definitely follow up with your doctor to

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:03.120
make sure you don't have

00:01:03.120 --> 00:01:05.360
some occult or hidden bleeding that

00:01:05.360 --> 00:01:06.720
you're not aware of

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:09.280
but then after you've got that situated

00:01:09.280 --> 00:01:10.720
then it's time to worry about

00:01:10.720 --> 00:01:12.960
number one eating enough iron number two

00:01:12.960 --> 00:01:14.320
absorbing

00:01:14.320 --> 00:01:16.640
enough iron that's very very important

00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.560
i'm dr ken berry a family physician with

00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:20.640
20 years of clinical experience

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:22.640
and i'm going to give you what may be

00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:24.560
your iron deficiency anemia

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.040
solution the majority of the iron you

00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:28.320
eat is absorbed through

00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:31.040
your duodenum which is the first part of

00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:32.640
your small intestine

00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.479
most doctors know this you may or may

00:01:34.479 --> 00:01:35.840
not have known this

00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.079
uh but there is a bell curve

00:01:38.079 --> 00:01:39.040
distribution

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:42.159
for your personal ability

00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:45.439
to absorb iron from your diet and it

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:48.640
it is partly genetic but it's also

00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:49.759
partly the food

00:01:49.759 --> 00:01:51.360
that you're eating or the food that

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:53.759
you're not eating many many doctors

00:01:53.759 --> 00:01:55.600
think that we all absorb iron the same

00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:57.759
exact way and in the same exact

00:01:57.759 --> 00:02:00.000
amount and that's just not true some

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.680
people are very good at absorbing iron

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.280
from their diet some people are very

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.000
bad at absorbing iron from their diet

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.759
there's a bell curve distribution like

00:02:07.759 --> 00:02:08.239
this

00:02:08.239 --> 00:02:10.720
this graphic so most people are right in

00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:12.000
the middle of this chart they

00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.040
absorb iron color blue well some people

00:02:15.040 --> 00:02:16.720
are on one end of the curve and they

00:02:16.720 --> 00:02:18.400
absorb it very very well

00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.560
out of their diet other people absorb

00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:22.959
iron very very poorly from their diet

00:02:22.959 --> 00:02:24.560
especially if they're not eating the

00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:26.319
right kind of iron

00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:29.120
in their diet there are two basic kinds

00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:31.040
of iron you can get from your diet

00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:34.080
there's plant-based iron which is called

00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:36.879
non-heme iron and we won't get into what

00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:38.239
that name means

00:02:38.239 --> 00:02:40.800
uh this is by far the most common iron

00:02:40.800 --> 00:02:42.480
that everybody around the world

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:46.560
gets in their diet uh the problem is

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.480
is that there are things in plants

00:02:48.480 --> 00:02:50.319
called phytic acid

00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:52.959
called polyphenols and call fiber which

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:54.000
can inhibit

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.160
your absorption of the iron that's

00:02:56.160 --> 00:02:58.400
contained in the plant-based food

00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:00.720
the most common sources of plant-based

00:03:00.720 --> 00:03:02.480
iron that you've probably been told to

00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:03.519
eat lots of

00:03:03.519 --> 00:03:07.120
are spinach kale fortified cereals

00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:10.480
uh dried fruit apricots raisins

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:13.599
and beans lentils soybeans and then you

00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:15.200
may have also been told to take

00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:17.599
an iron supplement or a multivitamin

00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:19.120
with iron

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.319
the problem with plant-based non-heme

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.200
iron is that we don't absorb a lot of it

00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:25.920
none of us do

00:03:25.920 --> 00:03:28.319
even the very best absorbers can only

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:30.239
absorb up to 12 percent

00:03:30.239 --> 00:03:33.440
give or take of the non-heme iron in

00:03:33.440 --> 00:03:34.400
plant foods

00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:38.000
some of us only absorb two percent of it

00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:40.799
because of the polyphenols the phytic

00:03:40.799 --> 00:03:42.159
acid and the fiber

00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:44.879
and so if you are a poor absorber you

00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:47.200
can eat all the spinach and kale

00:03:47.200 --> 00:03:50.080
and soybean stuff that you want and

00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:52.159
you're just not going to get enough iron

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:54.319
absorbed into your body that your body

00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:56.480
can actually use

00:03:56.480 --> 00:03:59.040
and the iron found in iron supplements

00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:00.920
and prescription iron pills are

00:04:00.920 --> 00:04:02.239
notoriously

00:04:02.239 --> 00:04:05.360
poorly absorbed and much of them remain

00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:05.840
in your

00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.080
your gastrointestinal system and wind up

00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:09.680
in your colon which leads to the most

00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:11.120
common side effect

00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:12.480
of iron supplements and iron

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:14.959
prescriptions which is constipation

00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:16.959
so if you've been eating tons of

00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.600
fortified cereals that are supposedly

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:20.560
high in iron

00:04:20.560 --> 00:04:22.720
and lots of dark green leafy vegetables

00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:23.600
which are

00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:25.840
high in iron but perhaps you can absorb

00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:28.000
them then what i'm about to talk about

00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.320
next may surprise you but it also may be

00:04:30.320 --> 00:04:32.560
the key that unlocks your prison

00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:36.000
of iron deficiency anemia the iron found

00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:36.639
in

00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.360
animal foods like meat and eggs is

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:39.919
called

00:04:39.919 --> 00:04:43.199
heme iron and it is a different

00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.479
uh molecular kind of iron than you would

00:04:46.479 --> 00:04:47.840
find in plants

00:04:47.840 --> 00:04:51.680
it is much much more absorbable

00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:54.800
and so even if a animal-based source of

00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:56.560
iron has less iron than a plant-based

00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:57.120
source

00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:58.960
you're probably still going to get more

00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:00.160
usable iron

00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:02.000
from the animal-based source meat and

00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:03.840
eggs than you would get from a

00:05:03.840 --> 00:05:05.360
plant-based source because you're able

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:06.240
to absorb

00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:08.800
so much more of the heme iron versus the

00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.639
non-heme iron

00:05:10.639 --> 00:05:12.560
great sources of heme iron in

00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:14.000
animal-based foods are

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:16.560
any liver at all from any animal is

00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.520
going to be a great source of heme iron

00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:21.440
many of the a serving of many livers

00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:23.280
will give you almost a full day supply

00:05:23.280 --> 00:05:25.600
of the iron that your body actually

00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.600
needs to and can absorb

00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:29.840
to use to correct your iron deficiency

00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:31.120
anemia

00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.199
other great sources are anchovies and

00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:34.639
sardines

00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:38.000
any beef any any meat uh

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:40.240
muscle flesh of an animal is going to be

00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:42.000
a good source of iron some are a little

00:05:42.000 --> 00:05:43.120
better than others

00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:44.960
but if you if you are one of those

00:05:44.960 --> 00:05:47.120
people who just can't bring yourself

00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.479
to eat soft fluffy mammals which i

00:05:50.479 --> 00:05:52.479
totally get that i understand you can

00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:54.639
still get great sources of animal based

00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:55.759
heme iron

00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:58.800
from clams oysters mussels

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:01.039
uh any poultry chicken or turkey or any

00:06:01.039 --> 00:06:02.400
other poultry is a good

00:06:02.400 --> 00:06:06.160
source of iron uh any seafood whatsoever

00:06:06.160 --> 00:06:09.600
and then any egg and pasture raised eggs

00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:11.199
whether the chickens or turkey have

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:12.880
actually been allowed to go out and eat

00:06:12.880 --> 00:06:13.600
real

00:06:13.600 --> 00:06:16.479
chicken and turkey food have better iron

00:06:16.479 --> 00:06:16.880
and

00:06:16.880 --> 00:06:19.520
more absorbable iron but even the cheap

00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:21.120
eggs from the grocery store even the

00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:23.919
cheap canned oysters or clams or mussels

00:06:23.919 --> 00:06:26.639
any of these are really good sources of

00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.160
highly absorbable

00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:31.680
heme iron most heme iron is absorbed at

00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:32.560
a rate from

00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:36.160
20 to 40 percent and so

00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:37.840
if you go back to the bell curve if

00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:39.520
you're one of those very very poor

00:06:39.520 --> 00:06:40.560
absorbers

00:06:40.560 --> 00:06:43.199
of non-heme iron then adding just a

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:44.560
little bit of animal food

00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:46.960
into your diet meat and eggs or

00:06:46.960 --> 00:06:48.319
hopefully liver

00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.120
you're going to get so much more iron

00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:52.560
from just a small portion

00:06:52.560 --> 00:06:54.720
of the meat than you would get from the

00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:55.919
plants

00:06:55.919 --> 00:06:57.840
most dairy foods are not really that

00:06:57.840 --> 00:06:59.199
great of a source of

00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.319
heme iron definitely skim milk low fat

00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:03.919
milk two percent milk those are not

00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:05.759
going to give you much iron if any at

00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:06.479
all

00:07:06.479 --> 00:07:08.960
uh parmesan cheese and then all of the

00:07:08.960 --> 00:07:09.520
different

00:07:09.520 --> 00:07:12.800
goat cheeses are the best dairy options

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:14.639
if you're trying to get iron

00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.919
from dairy now listen up this is very

00:07:17.919 --> 00:07:19.520
important

00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:21.759
if you have made an ethical or religious

00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:22.880
decision

00:07:22.880 --> 00:07:26.400
not to eat meat in your diet

00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:28.400
that's okay but here's what you've got

00:07:28.400 --> 00:07:30.880
to understand if you're a poor absorber

00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:33.199
on the bell curve then you're never

00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:34.880
going to correct your iron deficiency

00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:35.759
anemia

00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.280
unless you add in some kind of animal

00:07:39.280 --> 00:07:41.840
based heme iron into your diet so that

00:07:41.840 --> 00:07:43.199
you can actually absorb it

00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.520
and your body can actually use it this

00:07:45.520 --> 00:07:46.720
is what i call

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.000
therapeutic meat okay now there are

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.280
multiple examples

00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:53.759
where religions have made exemptions for

00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:55.440
people's health care

00:07:55.440 --> 00:07:58.800
a good example is a jewish rabbi

00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:02.800
has said that it's okay for jews to use

00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:06.240
desiccated pork thyroid in the form of

00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:07.120
armor nature

00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.120
wp or thyroid because it's therapeutic

00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.840
and so even though jews are told not to

00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:14.639
eat pork

00:08:14.639 --> 00:08:17.120
they can use this product because it has

00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:19.360
a therapeutic benefit that they perhaps

00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:20.319
can't get

00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:22.400
from the synthetic thyroid replacement

00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:25.039
hormones so i want you to consider

00:08:25.039 --> 00:08:28.720
having a therapeutic meat exemption

00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.680
in whatever your ethical diet vegan the

00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:32.719
vegetarian

00:08:32.719 --> 00:08:34.320
whether it's just ethical or whether

00:08:34.320 --> 00:08:35.760
it's religious

00:08:35.760 --> 00:08:38.320
you really need to think your health

00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:38.800
takes

00:08:38.800 --> 00:08:40.640
precedent over most of the things in

00:08:40.640 --> 00:08:42.479
your life if you're not healthy if

00:08:42.479 --> 00:08:44.240
you're constantly fatigued and short of

00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:44.959
breath

00:08:44.959 --> 00:08:46.880
and considering eating the ice out of

00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:48.240
the inside of your freezer because

00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:50.240
you're so iron deficient

00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:51.760
think how much more productive you would

00:08:51.760 --> 00:08:54.000
be think how much more uh

00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:56.240
successful you would be promoting things

00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.480
that you believe in

00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:00.720
making money taking care of your family

00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:02.640
if you actually could get rid of those

00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:04.000
symptoms and get rid of your iron

00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:05.200
deficiency anemia

00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:06.959
so i want you to really think about this

00:09:06.959 --> 00:09:09.920
and consider a therapeutic meat option

00:09:09.920 --> 00:09:11.760
and not that you're going to enjoy the

00:09:11.760 --> 00:09:14.080
eggs or meat not that you're going to

00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.839
proclaim that you're doing this not that

00:09:15.839 --> 00:09:17.519
you're going to

00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:19.360
espouse this to other people you're

00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:20.560
doing this for your health

00:09:20.560 --> 00:09:23.440
and i think that is ethical and and it

00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:24.959
makes very good sense to me

00:09:24.959 --> 00:09:26.959
now you don't have to eat mammals to get

00:09:26.959 --> 00:09:28.560
your therapeutic meat

00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:31.680
treatment you don't even have to eat

00:09:31.680 --> 00:09:34.000
things with faces animals with faces you

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:35.519
could literally

00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.200
get your heme iron from clams oysters

00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:42.480
and mussels and from eggs so you never

00:09:42.480 --> 00:09:44.399
had to eat anything with a face and so

00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:46.959
i'm i hope you understand i'm being very

00:09:46.959 --> 00:09:48.560
respectful i understand you've made a

00:09:48.560 --> 00:09:49.200
choice

00:09:49.200 --> 00:09:51.920
ethically to not eat animals or to not

00:09:51.920 --> 00:09:53.680
eat mammals or wherever

00:09:53.680 --> 00:09:56.640
your line of ingestion happens to fall

00:09:56.640 --> 00:09:58.560
and i respect that but at the same time

00:09:58.560 --> 00:10:00.000
i don't want you to suffer for the rest

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:00.800
of your life

00:10:00.800 --> 00:10:03.360
with iron deficiency anemia or wind up

00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:05.279
having heart failure or wind up having

00:10:05.279 --> 00:10:07.200
to have blood transfusions because of

00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:08.000
this

00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:10.160
disabling iron deficiency anemia that

00:10:10.160 --> 00:10:11.440
you currently have

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:13.760
the most at risk populations for

00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:15.600
developing iron deficiency anemia

00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.360
are children of all ages uh reproductive

00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:19.760
age

00:10:19.760 --> 00:10:22.079
women pregnant women and then the

00:10:22.079 --> 00:10:24.000
elderly these are the people most at

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:25.600
risk for developing this

00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:27.760
and these are the people that regardless

00:10:27.760 --> 00:10:29.519
of what ethical decisions you've made

00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:30.720
about what you're going to eat or not

00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:31.279
eat

00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:32.800
you really need to think about the

00:10:32.800 --> 00:10:34.800
therapeutic meat option

00:10:34.800 --> 00:10:37.839
in order to reclaim your health people

00:10:37.839 --> 00:10:39.839
who are frequent blood donors can have

00:10:39.839 --> 00:10:41.760
this congestive heart failure patients

00:10:41.760 --> 00:10:43.600
can have iron deficiency anemia

00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:44.959
people with gut conditions like

00:10:44.959 --> 00:10:47.120
ulcerative colitis crohn's

00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.040
celiac disease or if you've had a row

00:10:49.040 --> 00:10:50.320
and y

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:52.560
gastric bypass surgery you are at

00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:54.079
increased risk for iron deficiency

00:10:54.079 --> 00:10:55.200
anemia

00:10:55.200 --> 00:10:56.959
and even though you may not think it's

00:10:56.959 --> 00:10:58.720
ethical to consume

00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:00.880
animal products i really think you

00:11:00.880 --> 00:11:02.480
should consider the therapeutic meat

00:11:02.480 --> 00:11:03.279
option

00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:05.440
another big population of people who

00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.440
suffer from iron deficiency anemia

00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.920
and oftentimes they don't know why and

00:11:09.920 --> 00:11:11.839
maybe even their doctor doesn't know

00:11:11.839 --> 00:11:13.760
is people who take proton pump

00:11:13.760 --> 00:11:15.680
inhibitors like ass effects

00:11:15.680 --> 00:11:19.040
prevacid protonix and nexium these block

00:11:19.040 --> 00:11:21.120
your stomach acid and stomach acid is

00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:24.720
vital for the proper absorption of iron

00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:27.440
from your diet and so if you're taking

00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:28.959
one of those pills and you've been iron

00:11:28.959 --> 00:11:30.160
deficient anemic

00:11:30.160 --> 00:11:31.600
and your doctor didn't know why i

00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.519
couldn't figure it out that's probably

00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:34.399
why

00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.680
in children iron is absolutely mandatory

00:11:37.680 --> 00:11:39.680
for them to develop into their full

00:11:39.680 --> 00:11:41.680
potential as adults

00:11:41.680 --> 00:11:43.519
and one there there are many parts of

00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:44.959
the world where there's just no animal

00:11:44.959 --> 00:11:46.399
food available or

00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:49.760
religious uh rules prevent children from

00:11:49.760 --> 00:11:50.720
eating enough

00:11:50.720 --> 00:11:53.200
heme iron and animal based products in

00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.600
order to not be iron fishing anemic

00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:58.720
in the u.s and other modern societies

00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:00.639
it's very common for a child to be an

00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.160
accidental vegan

00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:04.399
and i've got a video about that i'll

00:12:04.399 --> 00:12:05.519
have it pop up

00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.920
here or here so that you can make sure

00:12:07.920 --> 00:12:09.600
that your child is not an accidental

00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:10.399
vegan

00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:12.639
but that can lead to very severe iron

00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:14.240
deficiency anemia

00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:16.000
and the doctor may not even be able to

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:17.600
figure that one out either

00:12:17.600 --> 00:12:19.279
i've included some research links in the

00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:20.639
show notes down below

00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.320
if in case you want to do some further

00:12:22.320 --> 00:12:24.399
reading this is dr berry i'll see you

00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.040
next time
