    WWR 271: Hype or Healing - biohacking wellness trends right now!

    If your social media feed has started telling you that you can fix your hormones with a vitamin patch or boost your mitochondria by taking a blue dye — you’re not alone. Every day there’s a new health trend that goes in or out of the spotlight and some are incredible, backed by real science and human data while others are purely just clever marketing! On this episode of Wellness Women Radio Dr Andrea and Dr Ashleigh unpack some of the current trends including vitamin and supplement patches, different mitochondrial support- like methylene blue, IV drips and much more. One of the things we love doing on this show is pulling apart the WHY behind health trends — because when you understand your body, you can see straight through the hype.

    WWR 270: Polyvagal Theory

    We’ve all been told stress is ‘just in your head.’ But science now shows it’s actually in your body — in the way your nervous system constantly decides whether you’re safe or under threat. Polyvagal theory maps out these pathways, and it helps us understand why conditions like PMS, infertility, perimenopause symptoms, and chronic pain are so often linked to stress and trauma. In this episode of Wellness Women Radio Dr Andrea & Dr Ashleigh dive into Polyvagal theory and how we can use this insight to help us find safety in our body to help us heal, connect and grow!

    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

    WWR 268: The New Perimenopause

    Perimenopause has finally entered the spotlight—and for good reason. In this episode we dive deep into the reality of what so many women in their late 30s and 40s are experiencing: unpredictable weight gain, brain fog, sleepless nights, sudden rage, and the constant question—is this perimenopause? For too long this transition was ignored or dismissed, but today we know it is a distinct and powerful life stage, affecting every system in a woman’s body—neurological, metabolic, emotional, and even spiritual. With over 34 recognised symptoms, perimenopause can feel like chaos, yet it also serves as a mid-life mirror, reflecting how well the body has been supported—or not. We explore the myths and misunderstandings that have historically shrouded women’s bodies, from medieval folklore to outdated medical dogma, and contrast them with the growing body of modern research and awareness. This conversation is both practical and empowering: from understanding the earliest signs of transition, to the role of hormones and treatment options, to the broader invitation perimenopause brings—to pause, realign, and step into a new phase of vitality. Whether you’re a practitioner or a woman navigating these changes yourself, this episode will help you see perimenopause not as the beginning of the end, but as the threshold of transformation. Also, don’t miss how Dr Andrea’s unpacks and supports women struggling with this hormonal transition in practice.   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
