In this month’s Ask Me Anything episode, host Amelia Phillips answers three listener questions spanning some very different corners of women’s health.
First, do those viral lymphatic drainage gloves actually do anything? Amelia unpacks how the lymphatic system really works, where manual lymphatic drainage has evidence behind it, and whether at-home massage tools can genuinely “detox” your body or simply help with temporary puffiness.
Next, what do you do when you’re faithfully taking vitamin D but your blood levels just won’t budge? Amelia runs through some of the common reasons vitamin D can remain stubbornly low, including dosage, absorption, timing, body composition, medications and even the time of year you test.
Finally, a listener taking a GLP-1 medication has lost 8kg but is struggling with fatigue and a dramatically reduced appetite. Amelia explains why nutrient density becomes so important when you’re eating less, which foods give you the biggest nutritional bang for your buck, and how to protect your protein, fibre, healthy fat, vitamin and mineral intake when there simply isn’t much room on the plate.
Plus, Amelia shares details of her new 14 Day Vitality Reset and the upcoming Prevention World Menopause Day Lunch in Sydney, where she’ll be joining a line-up of leading women’s health experts.
