0:00 Intro
0:05 Therapeutic phlebotomy may benefit high ferritin and hemoglobin in men and in post-menopausal women.
0:30 Donating blood once or twice a year brings down stored iron.
0:35 Iron overload and iron excess can drive the process of cardiovascular disease.
1:35 Iron depletion by phlebotomy improves insulin resistance in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
1:45 Insulin and hyperinsulinemia cause changes in iron metabolism, iron absorption and iron physiology, and ferritin metabolism.
2:41 Excess iron gets stored in your liver, pancreas, and heart, and can impact your brain.
3:35 More than diet influences iron levels.
6:00 You need iron to transport oxygen in your hemoglobin.
7:18 Iron and ferritin are acute phase reactants.
8:45 COVID 19, even the omicron variant, may increase blood viscosity/thickness.
9:35 Free iron accelerates the process of the oxidation of LDL.
11:15 Ferritin stores iron. It is amino acids that hold molecules of iron.
12:50 Exercise helps with iron metabolism and your cardiovascular system.
14:15 High ferritin and high hemoglobin and hematocrit mean that there is a lot of free iron floating around.
17:50 Phlebotomy therapy for study participants with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease showed improvements in ferritin, hemoglobin, liver enzymes and markers of insulin sensitivity.
21:40 High frequency blood donation is protective against cardiovascular disease and reduced relative risk of having a heart attack.
