Welcome back to Slow It Down for 2026! I don't know about you but the holiday's went by far too quick, but I'm so excited for another year of inspiring chats on Slow It Down. I wanted to come out swinging with the first episode so I brought in the GOAT of women's health, Dr Libby. If you're listening to this podcast you probably already know who Dr Libby is, so I won't bore you with introductions. In the episode we talk about her current mission of educating people on the importance of iron, her supplements (which I love), her in's and out's for 2026, and so much more!

S2 Ep 9Reducing Toxic Exposure with Claudia Vavasaur
Claudia Vavasaur is a registered dietician who specialises in fertility and women's health.
