The Iron Conversation: Strong through every season with Lana van Hout & Dr Libby

Nov 11, 2025
54 mins

Episode Description

Athlete, running coach and model Lana van Hout joins Dr Libby for an honest, performance-led conversation about iron, energy and the female body.

Lana shares her personal experience with iron deficiency during peak training — when running 100 km a week left her exhausted, sleepless and questioning why her body no longer felt like her own. Together, she and Dr Libby unpack how iron deficiency can quietly sabotage performance, recovery and resilience — and why so many active women mistake depletion for discipline.

They explore what every runner and coach should know about comprehensive iron testing, the impact of hormones and pregnancy on iron status, and the fine line between pushing harder and truly nourishing your body.

It’s a must-listen for any woman who loves movement and wants to stay strong through every season of life.
