Show Notes
Rushing Woman Syndrome isn’t a diagnosis. It’s a modern pattern: living in perpetual urgency until the body believes it is not safe.
In today’s episode, Dr Libby Weaver, PhD—one of Australasia’s foremost nutritional biochemists, internationally respected speaker, bestselling author of 14 books, and founder of the plant-based supplement company Bio Blends—unpacks how constant adrenaline reshapes hormones, sleep, digestion and mood, and how to step out of survival mode.
In this conversation we cover:
- What chronic urgency does to the hypothalamus–pituitary–ovary/thyroid axis
- Why irregular ovulation lowers calming progesterone and increases the “tired but wired” state
- The role of approval-seeking and social media in stress reactivity
- Practical shifts: longer exhales, nature/light anchors, and “fore head words” to retrain perception
- Data-informed care: iron, metabolomics, D.U.T.C.H., and when hormones help versus when lifestyle is the missing lever
Try this today
- Breathe 20 slow breaths on the hour, with longer exhales
- Watch the sunrise or sunset to recallibrate your nervous system
- Replace the 3pm coffee with protein, minerals, and water
- Write out your 'forehead words' and notice where fear of disapproval drives stress
