WWR 269: Fix Iron First with Dr Libby

Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies affecting women worldwide—yet it’s often overlooked, misunderstood, or mismanaged. In this episode, we’re joined by the incredible Dr Libby Weaver to unpack the real story behind low iron, why women are so vulnerable, and the many factors that can drive deficiency beyond just heavy periods. Together we explore how stress, gut health, dietary choices, and hormonal changes all play into iron status, as well as the hidden signs and symptoms that can be easy to miss. Dr Libby shares her unique perspective on supporting women’s energy, vitality, and overall wellbeing, along with practical steps for optimising iron and preventing the cycle of constant depletion. This is a must-listen for every woman, practitioner, or anyone who wants to understand how to truly support women’s health from the inside out. Armed with a PhD in biochemistry, a degree in dietetics, 25 years of clinical experience and a genuine desire to help others thrive, Dr Libby empowers people to take charge of their health through her events, courses, supplements and bestselling books. Her unique three-pillar approach – addressing challenges through nutritional, biochemical and emotional lenses – offers a truly holistic perspective. Known for her warmth and wisdom, Dr Libby makes complex science practical and accessible. She supports individuals at every stage of their health journey, providing insight with compassion and care, and helping them understand the deeper ‘why’ behind how they feel.   Don’t forget to follow us on social media: www.facebook.com/thewellnesswomen @thewellnesswomenofficial www.facebook.com/theperiodwhisperer @drandrea.xo www.facebook.com/drashleighbond @drashleighbond Wellness Women Radio is proudly sponsored by Dinner Twist, to get $35 off your first box use code WWR on checkout here: https://www.dinnertwist.com.au
