This Little-Known Lab Test Could Explain Your Midlife Energy Crash

Are you the woman who wakes up tired… and goes to bed even more exhausted?

Maybe your story sounds like this:

You’re staying up later than planned just to get some quiet time, only to wake up groggy and dragging through your day. That second wind after dinner? It’s the only reason anything gets done. Salt cravings hit hard by mid-afternoon, your weight is creeping up (especially around your middle), and despite eating “healthy,” nothing seems to shift.

Sound familiar?

You’re not alone. And you're not just "getting older" or "burned out."

There’s something going on under the surface—and your minerals might be trying to tell you something.

What Is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)?

HTMA is a simple, non-invasive test that analyzes a small sample of hair to evaluate your body’s mineral levels and heavy metal exposure.

But what it really does is give us a peek behind the curtain. It shows us how your body is managing stress, energy, metabolism, and hormones—things you can’t always see with standard blood work.

In fact, mineral imbalances are often at the root of fatigue, weight gain, hormone chaos, and mood swings. And most people have no idea.

Why Minerals Matter So Much (Especially for Women in Midlife)

You’ve probably heard of calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium. But did you know that these and other trace minerals directly impact:

• Adrenal health (which controls your stress response)

• Thyroid function

• Energy production at the cellular level

• Mood and brain chemistry

• Hormone regulation

• If these minerals are out of balance, it’s like trying to run your life on a broken battery. You might sleep all night and still feel tired. You might eat well but struggle to lose weight. You might try to exercise but feel wiped out for days after.

My Story: From Burnout to Balanced

After having my second son, Luke, I was running on empty. I’d push myself through family time, work, and day-to-day life—but I felt like I was running on fumes. Coffee, carbs, and green energy drinks kept me going… until they didn’t.

I was exhausted, dizzy, foggy, and frustrated.

HTMA was one of the first labs that gave me real answers. It showed me what my body needed to heal. Not guesswork—real data, with a targeted protocol designed just for me.

It was a game changer.

Why I Include HTMA in the Fix Your Hormones and Fight Fatigue Program

If you're nodding your head to more than 5 of those checkmarks in my Hormone Quiz… you’re not just tired. You’re mineral depleted, hormonally out of sync, and probably running on stress chemistry.

HTMA helps us:

✅ Identify adrenal burnout patterns

✅ See how your body is (or isn’t) handling stress

✅ Pinpoint mineral deficiencies that affect your mood, sleep, and metabolism

✅ Create a protocol that supports you—no guesswork, no one-size-fits-all solutions

As part of your Fix Your Hormones and Fight Fatigue journey, HTMA gives us the insights we need to tailor your plan and get you results faster. While this lab may not be 100

A Note on the Lab: It’s Powerful, but Not Perfect

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis isn’t a micronutrient panel—and it’s not meant to be. It doesn’t tell us exactly how much of a mineral is circulating in your blood today. Instead, it gives us a longer-term picture of how your body is using and managing key minerals (and storing or struggling with certain metals). It’s like looking at the patterns behind the scenes, not just the day-to-day snapshots.

That’s why I never look at this test in isolation. I take your full health history, symptoms, and lifestyle into account so I can put the puzzle pieces together in a meaningful way.

You’ll receive a detailed report that not only explains your results but connects the dots to what you’re actually feeling—and gives you a customized protocol to support your energy, hormones, and overall vitality.

Is it a magic bullet? No. But in the right hands (mine 😉), it’s an incredible tool to help uncover what’s keeping you stuck in fatigue and burnout—and guide you back to balance.

Ready to Stop Guessing and Start Feeling Better?

Your energy is not supposed to disappear with age.

Your mood swings, insomnia, and cravings are not your new normal.

And you don’t have to figure it all out on your own.

Join me inside Fix Your Hormones and Fight Fatigue, and let’s uncover what your body is really asking for. HTMA is just one of the powerful tools we use to get you feeling like yourself again—maybe even better than ever.

Let’s get you back to balanced!
