Guest Speaker: Christy Sutton, D.C.
Topic: Iron Overload, The Iron Curse
The Iron Curse takes a deep dive into hemochromatosis, and other iron disorders, and has been inspired by diagnosing my husband, and many patients, with hereditary hemochromatosis and iron-related health problems. My husband’s hemochromatosis led to liver problems, and likely led to his developing a pituitary tumor that caused Cushing’s high cortisol. From my experience as a clinician, I have discovered there is an epidemic of undiagnosed and untreated hemochromatosis, and this epidemic is being driven by myths, misperceptions, and a failure on the part of the medical community that should be diagnosing people with hemochromatosis, which should be a disease that is easy to screen for, prevent, diagnose, and treat.
