This one is really important.

So many women in perimenopause are being told their blood sugar is fine - and then wondering why they can’t lose weight, why their energy crashes every afternoon, and why their cravings feel completely out of control.

The frustrating truth is that “fine” on a standard lab panel and “optimal for your body” are very different things.

Blood sugar dysregulation in midlife rarely announces itself dramatically. It shows up quietly - as fatigue, as brain fog, as that stubborn midsection weight that won’t budge no matter what you do.

And because a single fasting number looks normal, it gets missed completely.

This is exactly why I look beyond standard markers. Because your body tells a much richer story when we know where to look.

Look, I get it.

Everyone has an opinion. And while I love that more people are talking about women’s hormonal health, not all advice is created equal.

Intermittent fasting when your cortisol is already dysregulated?

That’s a stressor on top of a stressor.

Skipping meals in perimenopause can actually spike cortisol, tank your progesterone, and make your symptoms significantly worse.

The last thing your body needs right now is less fuel.

Calcium supplements without looking at your full mineral picture?

Minerals don’t work in isolation, and if your magnesium, potassium, and sodium levels aren’t balanced, adding more calcium can actually create more problems than it solves.

This is exactly why we test before we supplement.

And antidepr3ssants for mood swings and anxiety that are being driven by hormone and mineral imbalances?

That’s putting a Band-Aid over something that deserves a real answer.

Your mood is not a mystery - it’s a message. And when we actually look at what’s driving it, things start to make a lot more sense.

After years in this work, I’ve seen the same patterns over and over again. And there are a few things I wish every woman in perimenopause knew.

1️⃣ Fatigue is not a personality trait, and it is not just aging.

In almost every woman I work with, chronic exhaustion traces back to depleted minerals.

Magnesium, sodium, potassium - these are the spark plugs of your energy production. And perimenopause depletes them faster than almost any other season of life.

2️⃣ Mood swings and anxiety are not just hormonal.

Yes, estrogen and progesterone are fluctuating. But minerals like magnesium and zinc play a direct role in neurotransmitter production and stress response.

When they are low, your nervous system has nothing to buffer the hormonal shifts happening underneath.

3️⃣ You cannot out-supplement a depleted mineral foundation.

I see women spending hundreds of dollars on hormone creams, adaptogens, and iron supplements, without ever addressing the mineral imbalances driving the problem in the first place.

Until the foundation is there, nothing else works the way it should.

4️⃣ You cannot fix what you cannot see.

This is why I use Body Mineral Analysis with every single client. Because guessing is exhausting.

Your body has the answers; we just have to know where to look.

If you want to start rebuilding your mineral foundation today, comment ‘MOCKTAIL’ and I’ll send you my free mineral mocktail guide with simple daily recipes to get you started.

And if you’re ready to stop guessing and actually see what’s going on in your body, comment ‘MINERALS’ and I’ll send you everything you need to know about getting started with testing. 🌿

What I see over and over again with the women I work with - the habits that feel like discipline are often the exact things keeping them stuck.

Less food, more coffee, more cardio. It sounds logical.

But when your hormones and cortisol are already dysregulated, these habits are like pouring gasoline on a fire.

The hardest part?

Most women have been doing these things for years.

They’ve been praised for them, even.

Meanwhile, their body is exhausted, inflamed, and holding on for dear life.

Perimenopause changes the rules.

What worked in your 30s doesn’t just stop working - it can actually start working against you. And until you understand what’s actually going on underneath the surface, it’s really hard to know what to do differently.

That’s exactly what my Perimenopause Quiz is designed to help you figure out.
