Dr Libby Weaver is a nutritional biochemist, author and speaker and it’s her work in the area of hormone health that has earned her a legion of fans, both in Australia and internationally. She is a wealth of information about why and how the female body responds differently to stress, diet and exercise, and why understanding your hormones is the best place to start to get all three under control.    This is the first of a two-part discussion with Dr Libby, unpicking a common affliction that she’s coined ‘Rushing Woman’s Syndrome’, and why now - especially given the global COVID pandemic - it’s time to sit back and reassess.    You can find Libby on Instagram at @drlibby or online here.    You can join the conversation, or drop us a question, via the Healthy-ish Australia Facebook page, here.   If you’re up for funny memes and health inspo follow Body+Soul on Instagram at @bodyandsoul_au   Or, head to bodyandsoul.com.au for your daily digital dose of health and wellness.   Each Sunday, you can pick up the latest copy of the Body+Soul/Stellar flipbook inside The Sunday Telegraph (NSW), the Sunday Herald Sun (Victoria), The Sunday Mail (Queensland), Sunday Mail (SA) and Sunday Tasmanian (Tasmania).  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
