Anemia means your blood has fewer red blood cells, or less of the part that carries oxygen. You may feel tired, weak or short of breath. At Inside Health Clinic in Oakville, we use the Deep Healing Method to find out why. We look for the root cause, so we can treat the real problem and not only the tiredness.

Why does anemia happen?

Red blood cells carry oxygen to every part of you. Your body makes them all the time. That takes building blocks from food, a gut that works well and steady energy. That is part of your metabolism. When something is off, levels can drop. The cause is different for each person. Here are some common ones:

  • Not enough building blocks. You may not take in enough of what blood cells need.
  • Poor absorption. A gut that is not working well may not take in what you eat.
  • Low stomach acid. Acid helps you take nutrients in.
  • Slow or hidden blood loss. Heavy periods are one example.
  • Long-term inflammation. It can slow how your body makes blood cells.
  • High stress. Stress can slow digestion and use up nutrients.

Two people can feel the same tiredness for very different reasons. That is why we find out why for you.

The Deep Healing Method: 3 steps

Our Deep Healing Method looks for the root cause, then works on it in three steps. Each step builds on the one before it.

1. Data: find out why

First, we test and check. We do not guess.

For anemia, testing can show which marker is low, and why. We look at your blood cells and how your body is using and storing what it needs. We may also check your gut.

Tests we may use: blood work and our naturopathic assessment.

2. Remove obstacles: detox

Next, we take away what is in the way of healing.

This can be poor digestion, foods that upset your gut, slow blood loss or things that keep inflammation going. Detox means we help your body clear what builds up so it can take in what it needs.

3. Replace: put back what is low

Last, we put back what your body is low in, and we learn why it was low.

Clinical supplementation is chosen after assessment. We also check how long you may need support. See also our page on nutrient deficiencies. Your plan is made for you.
