Episode Four: Strong through every season

If you’ve ever pushed through fatigue thinking you just needed to train harder, this episode will change how you see your energy.

What happens when strength turns into strain?

In this episode, Dr Libby and athlete Lana van Hout explore the untold story of iron and energy in active women. Lana opens up about the season she pushed her body to the limit — running 100 kilometres a week — only to find herself utterly exhausted and unable to recover.

Their conversation reveals how low iron can drain performance and mood, and why so many women wear fatigue as a badge of honour instead of a sign to slow down.
