W&W Liberty Mills: Living with Lupus, Fertility in Midlife & The 360 Philosophy to optimal Wellbeing

In this episode of Women & Wellbeing, Natalie Anderson is joined by Intergrative Practitioner and Author Liberty Mills, for an inspiring and insightful conversation about her personal journey with lupus, fertility, and the transformative power of taking a holistic approach to health and wellbeing. Diagnosed with lupus in her early 30s, Liberty’s personal health journey led her to explore functional medicine and the many factors that influence our overall health. Her experience inspired a career change, leading her to become a Certified Integrative Health and Nutrition Coach, supporting individuals and couples on their journeys towards better health and fertility. Liberty shares how adopting a 360 approach to wellbeing helped her optimise her health and conceive, and how this experience shaped her philosophy towards supporting others. She is also the author of 360 Fertility: A Twelve-Week Plan for Optimising Your Chance of Conception, a practical guide that encourages readers to look beyond individual symptoms and consider the bigger picture when it comes to reproductive health. Together, Natalie and Liberty explore the role of functional medicine in supporting those with autoimmune conditions, the importance of understanding the underlying factors that can influence our health, and how nutrition, lifestyle, stress management and emotional wellbeing can all contribute to a more integrated approach to self-care. They also discuss the importance of mindfulness in our everyday lives, making conscious choices about our health, and learning to listen to our bodies. Liberty’s story is a powerful reminder of the value of taking an active role in our wellbeing and recognising that sometimes we need to look beyond individual symptoms to understand the bigger picture.
