that’s beautiful. Okay, what book do you think outside of yours? Because when people ask me this question, I always say your book, what book do you think every woman needs to read? Or that would be incredibly impactful for women to read to help her understand herself better? This constant need to rush – this feeling that we’re never doing enough – is causing significant health problems in women. The issue is so bad, I had to write about it. It is important to realise that the way we eat, drink, move, think, believe and perceive impacts our need to rush. As a scientist and health professional I aim to help people live their lives with more PNS activation because this alone can have the most profound effect on health. From that place sex hormones are far easier to balance, liver function (detoxification processes) and digestion work closer to optimal so there’s far less bloating, and the thyroid works better which is also important for metabolic rate and the ability to burn body fat. Great question. Because along those lines, Mindy, the other thing other than adrenaline that can lead us into anxiety is very low. progesterone, as I’m sure you and your listeners are very aware of. progesterone is a powerful anti anxiety agent. And we only produce it in large amounts after we ovulate. And so when someone has polycystic ovarian syndrome, or when they’re moving into perimenopause, and they stop ovulating every month, and then of course, post menopause, Lee, there’s no more ovulation, we’re obviously still going to make a small amount of progesterone from a couple of the adrenal glands mostly. But that progesterone is incredibly protective against feeling overwhelmed and and too many anxious feelings. And again, that something I think that it’s just not talked about enough. Yet, and also for women, when you when they use the birth control pill, like what a lot of women don’t understand that that stops the reason it’s so good at preventing pregnancies, it stops you ovulating. So it stops you having that lovely big surge of progesterone. So there’s, that’s another whole can of worms. But anyway, so

to live life in touch with how precious it is to live life in touch with how precious they are, and to treat themselves accordingly. Because if you were truly in touch with how precious you are, you would never do half the things you do. So if we could leave more of our life, in touch with Yeah, how precious life is and how precious we are, and then trade ourselves accordingly, the ripple effect of that in the world would be extraordinary.

Yournervous system doesn't know that the adrenalin pumping inside youis not from a physical threat to your life, but rather your body's response to the caffeine you drink, or your sense of everydaypressure. The consequence? Rushing Woman’s Syndrome. Biochemically this is known as Sympathetic Nervous System Dominance… but as a scientist, I didn’t believe anyone would know what that meant.
your female patients suffering from Rushing Woman’s Syndrome? Are your female patients suffering from Rushing Woman’s Syndrome?
With a natural ability to break even the most complex of concepts into layman’s terms, Dr. Libby’s health messages embrace her unique three-pillared approach that explores the interplay between nutrition, emotions, and the biochemistry of the body. In this podcast, Healing Rushing Woman’s Syndrome, we cover: a heart, we could look at it like a hormetic stress, it’s like, it’s like enough to just motivate you a little bit. So that’s awesome. Okay, I have five questions for you. These are my rapid fire questions. And so let me start with this good one. Let me start with my first one. Okay, if you could go and chat with your 25 year old self and give her advice. I and we I chose 25. Because that’s usually about the age that you’re starting your career in your life. What would you tell your 25 year old self about how to live life? Mindy, it’s such an honor. And honestly, you’ve really touched my heart. I’ve had water. I have water in my eyes right now. From your words, and thank you. Yeah, it’s Yeah, it’s really very, It’s like the Queen hormone. I tell everybody, when you’re stressed, just go pet your dog, and you’ll be good. So that’s awesome. Let me finish up with this, I could talk to you forever. And I just time just really have a lot of appreciation for your heart and your mind and the way you explain things and just the impact you’re having on women’s health. And I want to bring this information to more women be and especially that I resonate with what you say about the younger generation, I just, I feel like I want to take every teenager and sit her down and explain these hormones and teach her how our lifestyle is going to affect these hormones and how the hormones are going to affect her mood, like we could change women’s health, just from the knowledge of hormones alone, don’t you think?When we live on adrenalin we tend not to sleep restoratively, crave (and give in and eat!) sugar despite our best intentions, and find it harder and harder to utilise stored body fat as a fuel, instead burning glucose. Yet when we primarily burn glucose as a fuel (instead of body fat), because it is our “get out of danger” fuel, the body can’t risk the glucose fuel tank getting too low so the desire for sweet food gets switched on… hello harsh self-talk when you give in to your sweet cravings even though you said you wouldn’t. It’s all for you, that life happens for you. It’s not happening to you. So even the big tough stuff that can unfold all of it for you. Recently grabbing my attention was a book written by nutritional biochemist Dr. Libby Weaver. What grabbed my attention about this book was its title “Rushing Woman’s Syndrome – The impact of a never ending to-do list on your health”. It is an excellent book that examines how constantly rushing and having a never ending to-do list has a substantial cost to our physical and mental health. But deeper than that is a story we made up about women a long time ago. A story we tell ourselves that sayswe aren't good enough the waywe are. That we aren't tall enough, slim enough, pretty enough, brainy enough, on time enough. Because who we are is not enough,we spend our lives trying to please everyone around us, putting their needs ahead of our own.
