Takeaways

Minerals are foundational for energy, metabolism, and hormonal balance, especially during perimenopause.
Common symptoms of mineral depletion include fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, cravings, and poor sleep.
Magnesium, sodium, potassium, and calcium are essential "powerhouse" minerals that become easily depleted and have a major impact on women's health.
Chronic stress, restrictive diets, excessive exercise, poor digestion, and hormonal contraceptives can significantly deplete minerals.
Replenishing minerals through nutrient-dense foods, targeted supplementation, and simple lifestyle adjustments can profoundly improve midlife health and wellness.
Functional testing like Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can help you identify specific mineral needs and address underlying deficiencies effectively.
