In this episode of Untidy, Hannah and Matilda welcome back one of their most beloved and popular guests, nutritional biochemist and bestselling author Dr Libby. This conversation goes deep, connecting the dots between nutrition, emotions and biochemistry, to deliver you from overwhelm to empowerment.

They unpack what’s really happening when high-functioning women start to feel:

Wired but tired
Foggy, flat or anxious
Diagnosed or symptomatic of ADHD in their late 30s or 40s
Overwhelmed by things they used to handle
Like something is wrong when blood tests say “normal”

Dr Libby explains the iron–dopamine connection, how low ferritin can mimic or amplify ADHD symptoms, why hormonal shifts in perimenopause can remove your calming buffer, and what nutrient depletion does to resilience. Plus a wealth of wisdom and knowledge from an extraordinary human! There are so many gems in this one.

This episode is about understanding depletion and how to fortify yourself physically, mentally and emotionally, so you can feel like you’re thriving again.

As always, we’re so glad you’re here!
