Dr Libby is a nutritional biochemist, bestselling author and internationally recognised speaker who has spent decades educating both practitioners and the public on the biochemical underpinnings of fatigue, anxiety, hormonal disruption and low resilience. In this conversation, she brings her trademark ability to connect physiology with lived experience, unpacking why she so often says, “fix iron first.” Together, they explore iron beyond the anaemia narrative — diving into its role in neurotransmitter production, thyroid function, metabolism, perimenopause, and even ADHD. They discuss why iron deficiency remains under-recognised in teenage girls and health-conscious women alike, how inflammation and gut health can silently impair absorption, and why wide reference ranges don’t always reflect optimal wellbeing. Dr Libby also shares practical insights on testing, common absorption mistakes, and the health stories women need to stop accepting as “normal.” This is a grounded, physiology-first discussion that reframes fatigue, anxiety and “just hormones” through a biochemical lens — and offers clear, practical takeaways for women who want to feel genuinely well, not just told they’re normal.
