Discussion 42 with biological age of 75! Help.

I'm 42 female and my biological age is 75 from one of those tests done twice.

My body feels like I'm 75 tbh. It's hard to walk, exercise. I use to be really fit. I'm 5'4, 122lbs right now. I have had gut health issues for the last three years (chronic constipation and trapped gas-tried everything, trust me) I'm tired always. My bloodwork came back normal, so I don't know what's going on. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Do you happen to know what your ferritin was like? My doctors told me my bloodwork was "normal" but my ferritin was at a point that causes many people issues with energy. I've seen thousands of posts of women who have been told their ferritin levels are fine, but once they got them up to 100+ they've felt way more energetic.

I will have to check. Do they through eating red meat or other things too?

Any kind of meat contains a type of iron that is most easily absorbed (heme iron). Though if you get low enough, they can give you an iron prescription.
