Dr Libby

Dr Libby Weaver (nee Ellis) (Ph.D) grew up in Australia and is one of Australasia’s leading nutrition specialists and weight loss experts based in Auckland, New Zealand. Libby’s passion for empowering people to make optimum health choices has led her to consult privately with individuals, in the coporate health arena, as well as with universities and the media. She is an author and a much sought after and passionate speaker covering a broad range of topics that leave her audiences well informed and uplifted.
Libby completed her Ph.D examining biochemical and nutritional factors in children with autism at The University of Newcastle, Australia*, the outcomes of which have affected the way in which the condition is treated in Australia and now also in New Zealand.

It was through this work that Libby came to better understand the role various hormones play in influencing our body shape and size, our appetites, our responses to exercise and stress, clarity of thought, sleep patterns and a host of other behaviours.

Working in two of Australia’s leading health retreats, sharing these insights, Libby’s concepts were often described as “life-changing”. She reaches a broad range of people from business men and women and stay-at-home parents, to prominent sportspeople and Hollywood stars. Dr Libby’s powerful messages are delivered through the pages of her book, as well as through her informative seminars, all getting to the heart of nutritional issues which have the potential to alter an individual’s health future.
