The Anemia Connection
I believe that true healing starts with understanding. If you’ve been struggling with anemia, you’re not alone. I’m here to help you connect to the root cause of your symptoms, restore your energy, and heal from within, without iron supplementation.
Welcome, I am Katie Fuchs, mother of three and health and wellness practitioner. My goal is to inspire women to take back control of their health. I help women (and often their children) connect important dots as to what led them to chronic symptoms and fatigue and an eventual anemia diagnosis. Together, we lessen the overwhelm of what to do next which allows for change from within.
I completed my training with the Root Cause Protocol Institute in 2020 and I love helping women find balance within their body. Our mineral stores play a crucial role in our overall health, and when they’re off, it can lead to metabolic dysfunction and various symptoms of disease. A common misconception, especially for women, is that iron is low in the body and we need more of it. We’re all exposed to stress, and one of the key ways it affects us is by depleting our bodies of magnesium. Symptoms of illness are often directly linked to the stressors in our lives, which in turn create mineral imbalances. An anemia diagnosis usually means you feel tired and depleted and the common belief is that you don't have enough iron in your body.
But I want to challenge your thought process of being anemic and help you realize you most likely have too much iron. Supplementing with iron can create more harm than good by adding to an already overwhelmed system, leading to issues like inflammation and oxidative stress. True healing comes from addressing the deeper imbalances, supporting your body’s natural iron recycling process, and ensuring critical minerals like copper and magnesium (key minerals which manage your iron) are in balance. Simply using a ferritin marker is not a comprehensive way to look at iron in the body. By looking at your health through the lens of the Root Cause Protocol and pulling unique labs, we can get a comprehensive look at multiple iron markers to see the big picture of what's going on. We work together to restore balance, helping you get back to feeling your best.
My Journey
I didn’t feel well for most of my 20's. When my babies started going down that same path, I said enough was enough. My eyes opened to the power of healing when I discovered that food really is medicine. For me, this was a relief because I could control what groceries we bought. The decisions we made inside the home did matter. Our health wasn't out of our control. Eating nourishing whole foods helped us to feel better and is a tremendous foundation of our health, but it wasn't quite enough.
My 3 why's!
Hi, I'm Katie. A wife, mom of 3, and passionate about health. I have my masters in education and taught 1st grade for 10 years before I became a stay at home mom. For decades, I was plagued with low energy, food intolerances, sinus infections, hormone imbalances and terrible allergies. I was on countless antibiotics. My children have been my best teachers and are the reason I now help others to heal as a holistic health coach and certified Root Cause Protocol Consultant.
Your body is talking to you.
Are you listening?
Your symptoms are trying to tell you something important. They’re not just annoyances to cover up—they’re clues. Conventional treatments often silence them, but that doesn’t solve the problem. When we work together, we’ll address the root cause, so your symptoms actually go away and you can get back to feeling like yourself again
Iron Dysregulation
Iron is more than just a nutrient; it’s actually a metal that contributes to aging and oxidative stress in our bodies. It’s also responsible for depleting magnesium, which can lead to inflammation. Since the 1940s, many of our foods—like breads, cereals, baby formula, and even multivitamins—have been fortified with iron. When iron isn’t managed well, it essentially causes ‘rust’ in the body. The truth is, most of us are exposed to too much iron, and it takes essential minerals, like magnesium, to handle this excess. If you’ve been struggling with anemia, let’s talk.
