Hidden Liver Cottage Pie

Hidden Liver Cottage Pie

Iron deficiency is so common among women, and liver from animals is the BEST FOOD to quickly improve your iron levels. Heavy periods and low iron levels work together in this vicious cycle – heavy periods cause low iron, and low iron causes heavy periods. Heavy periods can also be caused by hypothyroidism, resulting in the body’s inability to absorb iron from the food you’re eating. Low iron can also be caused by gut issues, and you most definitely need a healthy gut to absorb all the iron you’re eating.

Also, the bone broth helps your liver to detoxify and your gut to heal which also helps reduce a heavy flow!

Remember to get your butcher to mix the chicken liver with mince, and you won’t even be able to taste it!!
