Could Ferritin be impacting your child's sleep, regulation or appetite?
Your child’s sleep and regulation is deeply connected to their biology. Iron status—specifically ferritin, the body’s stored form of iron—can have a significant impact on sleep quality, nervous system regulation, appetite and overall development. Low ferritin can contribute to restless sleep, frequent night waking, difficulty settling, and increased sensory dysregulation—often in ways that are subtle and commonly overlooked.
What's in the workshop?
- A breakdown of how ferritin impacts sleep, dopamine regulation, and the nervous system
- Clear explanations of common sleep patterns linked to low ferritin, including restless sleep, movement during sleep, and frequent waking
- Guidance on how to recognize red flags and when it may be appropriate to explore iron status further
- An understanding of lab work—including ferritin, iron panels, and CBC—and what each marker can tell you
- Practical support for next steps, including nutrition, supplementation considerations, and key cofactors that impact absorption
- What to expect from intervention and follow-up, and why some children may not respond to oral iron alone
- And so much more...
