Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your question and for finding EmpowHER. From what I have read, iron overload generally isn't a problem in women who still menstruate, but it can cause trouble in men, because the only way to eliminate iron is in blood loss.
Here is a blog I found about that: The Healthy Home Economist: Health Hazards of Cast Iron Pans
Would stainless steel or aluminum pots and pans work for you? I have never heard of a doctor making cookware recommendations, does she work for All-Clad or Calphalon? I do have some stainless steel pots and pans, and I also have aluminum. I prefer the stainless to Calphalon at times, for being easier to clean. I do not own an iron pan, as far as I know.
Here is more information about hemochromatosis: Hemachromatosis
Good luck, and let us know what you find out.
