Struggling with Periods, Anxiety, or Hair Loss? Fixing Your Iron Could Change Everything | Dr. Libby Weaver (Part 2)

Constant busyness is leaving women’s bodies in a state of chronic stress, and Dr. Libby Weaver calls this Rushing Women’s Syndrome. It’s a pattern that can quietly disrupt digestion, thyroid health, fertility and energy, often without us realising the connection. We explore how this constant state of urgency affects the body and mind, and what it takes to step out of it.

This conversation continues from part 1, where we laid the groundwork for understanding these patterns. If you haven’t heard it yet, I recommend starting there — you’ll find the links below.

We also look at how caring for others can come at the expense of our own wellbeing, how to notice the traits we push to be known for, and the small shifts that can break that cycle. From there, the conversation moves into perimenopause, showing why symptoms are shaped by far more than just estrogen or progesterone. Dr. Libby explains the role of metabolic health and how to catch the body’s early whispers before they become roars, closing with a reminder about joy and gratitude that can change the tone of your day.

Key Takeaways

Rushing Women’s Syndrome – A term Dr. Libby created to describe the constant production of stress hormones and their impact on digestion, thyroid, fertility and overall health.

‘’Forehead Words’’ Exercise – Identify the traits you want others to see in you and notice how fear of the opposite drives unnecessary stress.

Service vs. Servitude – True contribution comes from a place of genuine care not self sacrifice at the cost of health.

Perimenopause Perspectives – Changing sex hormones can influence symptoms but metabolic health stress and lifestyle shape the overall experience.

Act on the Whisper – Small early signs from the body are invitations to make changes before symptoms become louder and more disruptive.

Let Yourself Have What You Already Have – Joy, gratitude and presence are powerful for nervous system health and restoring energy.
