7-Day TIBC Management Plan
Protocol Objectives
Context is Key
TIBC is a mirror of iron stores. High TIBC = Low Iron (Eat Iron). Low TIBC = High Iron/Inflammation (Limit Iron/Reduce Inflammation).
High TIBC Protocol
Focus on Red Meat, Liver, and Vitamin C to saturate transferrin and lower TIBC.
Low TIBC Protocol
Focus on anti-inflammatory foods (Omega-3s, Turmeric) and limit red meat/alcohol to support liver function.
Day 1 Liver Support (Low TIBC)
Breakfast
Oatmeal & Berries
Low iron load.
Lunch
Tofu Salad
Plant protein.
Dinner
Salmon

Day 2 Iron Loading (High TIBC)

Consultation
Always interpret TIBC alongside Ferritin. High TIBC + Low Ferritin = Iron Deficiency. Low TIBC + High Ferritin = Inflammation/Overload.
