Can Inflammation Affect Your Mood? Healthy Ageing & The ‘Ferritin Face’ Trend

Can inflammation really affect our mood and mental health? Could eating more plants help us age better? And what on earth is “ferritin face”?

This week, we explore the fascinating connection between our immune system, inflammation and mental health, and unpack new research suggesting a plant-rich diet could influence markers of biological ageing. We also look beyond the scary headlines linking sugary drinks with stomach cancer, and dive into the viral “ferritin face” trend — including why low iron may be going unnoticed in so many women. Plus, why you definitely shouldn’t diagnose an iron deficiency from TikTok.
