Deficiency is common, and usually silent
- The most common and best-known symptom of iron deficiency is general fatigue. Globally, 30 % of the population has had an iron deficiency at some point. The need for iron rises especially during pregnancy, breastfeeding and growth.
- Human iodine levels have fallen by as much as 50 % over the last 30 years. Iodine deficiency can cause hypothyroidism and goiter, and up to 30 % of the world population is estimated to be deficient.
- Vitamin B12 deficiency can leave you exposed to neurological disorders. A study at the University of Turku found that up to 32 % of people over 65 exceed the threshold values for B12 deficiency.
You may have a deficiency you do not know about, because it has no symptoms yet.

Frequently asked
Questions people ask before joining
How long is the course?
Six weeks, with seven lectures of 30 to 50 minutes in total and the written material that goes with each week.
Do I need to know the subject already?
No. It suits beginners, and it goes deep enough that health coaches, nutritionists and other practitioners take practical tools from it as well.
Can I ask questions?
Yes. Dr. Sovijärvi answers nutrition questions personally on the course platform, and you can join the discussion on each week’s topic.
Do I have to buy supplements?
No. The course covers supplements because people ask about them, and the recommendations are unbiased, but the bulk of it is food, measurement and knowing which numbers matter.
Does this replace seeing a doctor?
No. The course and its research reviews are not treatment recommendations. Do not order or use any herb or supplement mentioned in it without first talking to your own doctor.
