Always tired? Brain fog that just won’t quit? Feeling flat no matter what you do? It might not be “just life” – it could be your iron. Iron is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies in the world, but it’s also one of the most overlooked. And here’s the kicker: it’s not just about energy. Low iron can mess with your mood, memory, hormones, sleep, workouts – even how well you handle life’s big transitions.

    The Iron Conversation: Exhausted in a “healthy” body BONUS EPISODE

    In this bonus episode of The Iron Conversation, Dr Libby is joined by Kirsten King, founder of Fluidform Pilates, for a grounded and revealing discussion about why so many women who are deeply invested in their health still feel exhausted, anxious or in pain. You’ll hear why fatigue, low mood and anxiety are so often mislabelled as stress, hormones or overtraining, and how listening to early signals from the body can prevent bigger crashes later on. Drawing on both clinical insight and what Kirsten sees every day in the studio, this conversation reframes movement, recovery and self-care through a far kinder, more intelligent lens. This bonus episode offers clarity, reassurance and practical guidance for women navigating teenage years, pregnancy, postpartum and perimenopause – or supporting someone who is. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: • Why iron deficiency is common in wellness-aware women • How fatigue, anxiety and low mood can be biochemical, not just emotional • Social media, Ozempic and perfectionist culture • What overtraining, poor recovery and recurring injuries can signal • How Kirsten supports nervous system regulation through movement and breath • When to investigate fatigue rather than push through • Why listening earlier changes everything LINKS Shop Fix Iron First www.drlibby.com/products/fix-iron-first Shop Bio Blends Iconic Iron www.bioblends.com/products/iconic-iron

    The Iron Conversation: Strong through every season with Lana van Hout & Dr Libby

    Athlete, running coach and model Lana van Hout joins Dr Libby for an honest, performance-led conversation about iron, energy and the female body. Lana shares her personal experience with iron deficiency during peak training — when running 100 km a week left her exhausted, sleepless and questioning why her body no longer felt like her own. Together, she and Dr Libby unpack how iron deficiency can quietly sabotage performance, recovery and resilience — and why so many active women mistake depletion for discipline. They explore what every runner and coach should know about comprehensive iron testing, the impact of hormones and pregnancy on iron status, and the fine line between pushing harder and truly nourishing your body. It’s a must-listen for any woman who loves movement and wants to stay strong through every season of life.

    The Iron Conversation: Dr Oscar Serrallach and Dr Libby on postnatal depletion, iron and the hidden cost of modern motherhood

    What if one nutrient could change everything about how you feel — from your energy and mood to how you show up as a mother? In this deeply insightful episode, Dr Libby sits down with Dr Oscar Serrallach, functional medicine doctor and author of The Postnatal Depletion Cure, to explore how iron lies at the very heart of maternal health, postpartum recovery and even a baby’s early development. Together, they unpack the biology behind the postnatal depletion epidemic — why so many mothers feel exhausted, foggy and emotionally stretched long after birth — and how modern “bounce-back” culture compounds the problem. From the misunderstood science of iron deficiency to the emotional toll of self-doubt, guilt and relentless responsibility, Dr Oscar and Dr Libby reveal how restoring iron levels can transform not only energy and sleep, but emotional regulation and the mother–child bond itself. Whether you’re preparing for pregnancy, navigating postpartum, or supporting a mother in your life, this episode is a powerful reminder that before we can rebuild wellbeing, we must first rebuild iron.

    The Iron Conversation: Lara Briden and Dr Libby on hormones, mood & low iron

    Dr Libby sits down with naturopath and evolutionary biologist Dr Lara Briden to explore how modern life quietly drains women’s iron stores — from teenage girls navigating hormones and the pill, to women moving through perimenopause. Together they unpack the triple whammy of low iron, hormonal contraception and antidepressants, the vital role of stomach acid in nutrient absorption, and how long-term PPI use can disrupt it. You’ll also hear about the fascinating link between estrogen, thyroid function and hepcidin, practical ways to advocate for yourself when testing iron and thyroid markers — and why ferritin-iron, the food-based form, is changing how we think about energy, absorption and women’s health.
