Struggling with Periods, Anxiety, or Hair Loss? Iron Could Be The Key | Dr. Libby Weaver (Part 1)

Why are so many women exhausted, anxious, and burnt out… and never told it’s iron?

I sat down with Dr. Libby Weaver to unravel one of the most misunderstood health issues affecting women today: iron deficiency. Dr. Libby shares how this common (but often ignored) nutrient shortfall is showing up as anxiety, fatigue, hair loss, and even emotional overwhelm, particularly during key life stages like menstruation, pregnancy, and perimenopause. We unpack why so many women are being told they’re fine when their ferritin is anything but.

Dr. Libby also shares powerful insights from her new book “Fix Iron First” and why most of us aren’t just low, we’re confused. From plant-based eating to heavy periods to postpartum depletion, this episode cuts through the noise and gives you the tools to finally understand how to assess, manage, and optimise your iron levels naturally. If you’ve ever felt tired but wired, or like your health puzzle is missing a crucial piece, this one is for you.
