Feeling a sudden loss of sex drive? Ask your doctor to check your body's iron levels (via a ferritin blood test). Why? Excess iron can mess with your hormones. Without prompt diagnosis and treatment, damage to your libido can be permanent. Often caused by a genetic condition called #Hemochromatosis.

The theory that excessive iron accumulation causes #cardiacdisease has been disproven. Elevated #iron levels are mainly a #health concern for individuals with #hemochromatosis, a hereditary genetic disorder. #healthyaging
