Hemochromatosis Demystified
A Patient's Clear and Complete Blueprint to Living with
Iron Overload
The only online course in the world for patients with Hemochromatosis
Even Doctors Can Be Stumped by Your Condition
Hemochromatosis Can Be Confusing!
And that’s coming from a pair of doctors!
When we were in medical school, we learned about hemochromatosis in passing.
Then, when Eric first discovered his own high iron levels and we began interacting with people who have the same disorder, we realized that the lack of iron overload education in the medical field shows… We heard the same problems over and over again:
But You Don’t Have to Wait to Take Your Health into Your Own Hands
Maybe you just received a diagnosis…
And if you’ve started Googling iron overload on your own, you’re probably overwhelmed by the conflicting research and lack of consistent information.
Maybe you’ve been suffering for years with no relief, and you have accepted joint pain, fatigue, or brain fog as your new normal.
Or maybe you’ve worked with your doctor to come up with a solution to your symptoms…
But no matter where you are on your journey, it’s probably exhausting!
So... What's Next?
Are phlebotomies the only thing you could do? Do you have to live in confusion over what your condition really means for the rest of your life?
Is there really nothing else you could be doing?
The short answer is no!
Because…
You Don’t Have to Be An Expert to Figure Out Hemochromatosis
This may come as a surprise, but the science behind hemochromatosis doesn’t have to be dry or boring.
In fact, it can be liberating to know what’s going on in your own body,
A relief to finally understand your symptoms,
And exciting to feel confident in the actions you’re taking for your health.
Especially when the latest science is laid out for you clearly, concisely, and in language that anyone can understand.
And, taking a holistic approach to managing your disorder allows you to enjoy the benefits of both conventional therapies and tools of diet and supplementation…
Plus, a holistic approach is rooted in simple, actionable advice that you can start implementing right away!
By learning about your iron overload and how to manage it you can…
Live Your Life Unrestricted!

“I am 56 and recently diagnosed. I am an RN but up until my diagnosis I only knew the basics of hemochromatosis. Your information has been invaluable to me. It is education in simple terms and it helps me with questions and conversation with my hematologist. THANK YOU AND KEEP IT COMING!”
– Pam Conley
“Thank you, Dr. Eric. I feel like I have gotten more helpful advice from your information than I have from my specialist, so it is wonderful that you are offering this support. Please thank Dr. Kristina for her continued efforts in taking on such a huge project of cooking for hemochromatosis. I am absolutely sure that she will be helping countless people out there who feel that they are not getting the support that they need to becoming healthy and feeling stronger. Please keep on keeping on!”
- Donna Jackson
“I wanted to take the time to tell you how much I appreciate your information. I am 52 yo and was diagnosed with Hemochromatosis about 3 years ago. It was very difficult to get what I believed was good advice early on. Your balanced diet approach has been a great relief and help to me and my wife. I have always been an active and healthy person and your advice and information will allow me to continue to be that way without being lost and frustrated! Keep up the great work!”
– Scott Feazell
“I just wanted to say thank you for doing the research, formulating your own supplements, and sharing with everyone. I was diagnosed in July with hereditary hemochromatosis with a ferritin level of 1230. After only 4 phlebotomies I am down to 282. So we know it wasn't just the phlebotomies. I have been taking your supplements and eating the right way to not absorb the iron from foods since then. I am so happy that I found your website when I did. if I only went by what my doctor told me, I would still be gaining rather than losing ferritin. Anyway, thank you for all your hard work and research.”
– Shawna Mercredi
“I can't tell you how grateful I am for the information that you have shared. I am so relieved to know that I am not alone and that I can truly live a healthy, normal life!”

The dynamic husband-and-Wife team of Hemochromatosis Demystified
Dr. Eric Lewis is a naturopathic physician who also has the genetics for hereditary hemochromatosis. With his unique perspective of being both a practitioner and a patient, he brings new insight into holistic approaches to iron overload, to help support health with hemochromatosis.
In 2012, he founded the website HemochromatosisHelp.com to share with the rest of the world what he has learned about iron overload in a clear, easy-to-understand, and friendly way.
A natural teacher, he is the author of Holistic Help for Hemochromatosis, a guide to the use of diet and supplements in healing from iron overload.
Now Dr. Eric brings his decade-plus experience researching hemochromatosis, working with patients with iron overload from all around the globe, and his own personal experience with high iron to the lessons in this course. He loves to teach others with this condition how to experience their very best health.
Dr. Kristina Lewis is also a naturopathic physician. When her husband discovered he had hereditary hemochromatosis, she became very involved in researching, writing, and teaching about this condition both as a healthcare practitioner and as a concerned wife.
As someone who naturally loves to cook and who finds inventing tasty and healthy recipes a fun challenge, Dr. Kristina decided to take on the challenge of creating a cookbook for hemochromatosis from a holistic perspective. She is the author of Cooking for Hemochromatosis, a collection of recipes, menus, and culinary strategies to lower iron in the diet.
Also known as “The Low-Iron Chef,” she brings this passion for helping others figure out what to eat when they have hemochromatosis to many lessons in this course.
Dr. Eric and Dr. Kristina are both honors graduates holding Doctorates in Naturopathic Medicine from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (now the Sonoran University of Health Sciences) in Tempe, Arizona.
They are in private practice together at Lewis Family Natural Health in Asheville, North Carolina. Along with their two children, they love to explore the outdoors and the natural beauty of Western North Carolina.
