The podcaster took a blood test recently, for reasons undisclosed, and it turns out she severely lacks iron. More specifically, her ferritin levels are hanging way too low. Ferritin is a protein found in cells that stores iron for the body for later use. It's important to have stocked reserves to keep the iron-pumping around your body at all times.
Bunnie explains that, "Your iron storage is supposed to be 100. Mine is at an eight." Yeah, that's pretty shocking. Her incredibly low iron levels explains symptoms she didn't know she's been suffering from.
Aside from being a "certified real vampire," Bunnie has been suffering from extreme coldness. "You wonder why I'm freezing all the time," she said, saying her low iron is the problem. Now that she's taking steps to fix her iron levels, however, she apparently never puts the heating on anymore.
"I'm anemic right now."
Bunnie XO Urges Fans To Get Their Ferritin Levels Checked
Bunnie started the segment by saying, "Ladies, please go get your ferritin levels checked."
"So many women do not know to get their ferritin levels checked. Do not just get your iron levels checked. Request, say, 'I want to know my ferritin levels," she ordered. "It is so important. Because there are so many things that affect the body with that."
And it's true, iron is an extremely important mineral for the body. It's just a shame that ferritin isn't automatically checked whenever one goes for a blood test.
Thankfully, low iron is something that can be worked on immediately. Bunnie shared that she's taking liver organ supplements, that are rich in iron.
"I took my first one yesterday... it made me so f---ing hot, I had to take my shirt off while I was working out," she explained. She also said that she's eating meals prepped from cast iron equipment which allows for the mineral to seep into the food.
It's important that Bunnie is sharing this, as many fans may find out they need to get their iron levels up.
