Nutritional biochemist and best-selling author Dr Libby Weaver shares her wellness journey and how she keeps herself healthy.
For years you have empowered and inspired people to take charge of their health through your books. Can you choose just one thing everyone can do to improve their health?
Look after your liver because it's responsible for how we feel and function, and how we regenerate. Our liver sends nutrients where they need to go in the body. For example, it is the storage house of iron and iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in New Zealand. Iron is not only needed for energy, it also contributes to the oxygenation of the body and it's needed for detoxification. A lot of people either knowingly or unknowingly overconsume alcohol. I think it's really healthy to sometimes pause and take stock of how much we're having or how often we're having it, and consider if it's having a lousy impact either on our health, our relationships, our energy or our motivation. Fatty liver used to only be seen in chronic alcoholics, but now it is becoming a problem mainly because of excessive sugar. The World Health Organisation says that six teaspoons a day is okay, but at the moment we're having 37 teaspoons of added sugar per person per day. We are seeing fatty liver in teenagers who have never touched alcohol. The good news is the liver will regenerate, so it's not too late to start taking care of it.
What are the three things you prioritise for your own health?
