Hair Mineral Test Shows High Copper/Low Iron. Bloods show the opposite (low-normal copper/ceruloplasim & high normal iron)

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me. I don’t know how to optimise. I know technically in-range for bloods aside from TSAT but very close to end of ranges.

Iron bloods

**•**	Iron: 29.5 umol/L (range 10–30)  
**•**	TIBC: 57 umol/L (range 45–81)  
**•**	UIBC: 27.2 umol/L (range 12–43)  
**•**	Transferrin Saturation: 52% (range 25–45) — flagged high  
**•**	Ferritin: 84 ug/L (range 30–442)

Hair Mineral Analysis (nutrient elements)

**•**	Iron (Fe): 1.26 %mg  
**•**	Copper (Cu): 4.274 %mg — above the acceptable range band

Caeruloplasmin/Copper Panel (capillary blood)

**•**	Ceruloplasmin: 0.23 g/L (range 0.2–0.6)  
**•**	Copper: 13.59 umol/L (range 11.00–22.00)

Unsure how to act as the data seems so conflicting.

Any help hugely appreciated.

Main issues trying to resolve are brain fog and anxiety.

Thanks
