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.
