I’m Libby Munro, a nutrition coach based in Brisbane, Queensland.
At 25, I felt like my body was falling apart — right when I needed it the most.
I’d just been accepted into the National Institute of Dramatic Art, THE most competitive acting school in the country.
It was a dream come true, but also the beginning of my body screaming for help. I was under immense pressure, starving myself to stay stage-ready, running every day, and dealing with an abusive teacher. I had no idea how to nourish myself properly — and honestly, I couldn’t afford to either.
Over the next 12 months, I was diagnosed with PCOS, pre-diabetes, and Hashimoto’s Hypothyroidism. I was gaining weight rapidly, developed dark hyperpigmentation across my face, and felt completely disconnected from the person I used to be. I was exhausted, wired all the time, frustrated, and confused. I was exercising like crazy and eating almost nothing… so why was I still gaining weight? Why did I feel worse on medication, not better?
The lowest point came when an endocrinologist handed me a Metformin prescription and told me it would fix the weight gain. It didn’t. None of my clothes fit. I was meant to be performing in tiny costumes on stage, but I felt miserable in my skin — like my body was betraying me.
By this stage, I was on three medications and nothing was changing. That’s when I knew: if I was going to get better, it had to come from me. I had to do the work. So I began studying, researching, experimenting — learning everything I could about Hashimoto’s and the root causes of chronic inflammation, hormone imbalance, gut dysfunction, and more.
And over time… I healed.
Not with any magic pill, but with a layered, holistic, real-world approach that actually works — and now that’s what I share with people all over the world.
My Work Is Grounded in Both Science and Soul
I’m a qualified Clinical Hypnotherapist, a certified Nutrition Coach (Precision Nutrition), and I hold a Master of SIBO certification through SIBO Doctor’s Australia. I’ve also studied Business, Acting, Screenwriting, and probably have more diplomas than sense. But beyond the paper - I’ve lived this. I get it.
I don’t believe healing Hashimoto’s is about one single solution. It’s not just going gluten free, or fixing trauma, or taking a supplement. It’s ALL OF IT.. I know that sounds overwhelming, but my job is to make it simple, doable, and sustainable. I pull the big levers — not throw spaghetti at the wall.
My philosophy is rooted in compassion, science-backed strategy, and real-life practicality. I’m anti-overwhelm. I’ve distilled what actually works from what’s just hype. And yes — there’s a little bit of woo-woo too. Because sometimes, the ‘weird stuff’ is the missing link.
Who I Love Working With
I work best with people who are ready. Ready to do the work. Ready to try something different. Ready to stop going in circles. If you’re warm, curious, and done with band-aids and guesswork, we’ll get along great. If you’re the kind of person who perpetually says ‘I can’t’ then this probably isn’t the space for you.
My programs are designed to address root causes and deliver real, lasting change — whether it’s getting your energy back, getting your brain back, or finally feeling like yourself again.
And When I’m Not Doing That…
You’ll find me cuddling my dogs, street dogs, foster dogs, any dogs (and dreaming about goats and baby donkeys), catching a show at the theatre, or living my cowgirl dreams — yes, I grew up in outback Queensland and I can ride a horse like Annie Oakley. I’m also outrageously good at drinking rum… but we don’t lead with that.
What 'Libby Munro Nutrition' Really Means
These days, my business is called LM Holistic — because it’s not just about food. It’s about healing the whole human. Mind, body, nervous system, spirit. Every cell. I may not be a fancy chef, but I know how to help people heal. From breathwork to blood tests, chakras to stool charts — it’s all part of the picture.
And I’m here for all of it.
