Perimenopause isn’t just a hormone transition.

It’s increased demand on your mineral system.

If reserves are low, symptoms surface.

Not because you’re broken.

Because your body is compensating.

If your thyroid or energy feels worse lately, there’s usually a deeper reason.

If you struggle with anxiety, it’s worth asking what’s happening beneath the surface…

Your unique mineral balances could be calling the shots!

Copper excess (especially relative to zinc) can drive an overactive nervous system, heightened emotional reactivity, and that constant “on edge” feeling I see many women experience during perimenopause and with thyroid dysfunction.

When oestrogen rises, copper often rises with it.

When metabolism slows and detoxification is sluggish, we don’t eliminate copper as well as we should.

This is why symptoms can feel worse around cycles, during hormonal shifts, or when stress is high.

This is also why testing like HTMA can be a game changer for symptoms, when you feel like you’ve tried everything.

HTMA gives us insight into mineral patterns and ratios that blood tests often miss — especially when symptoms don’t match your “normal” labs.

If your brain won’t switch off and you’re exhausted from feeling wired, this may be worth looking at.

You’ve been told your thyroid is normal.
But you’re still exhausted.
Still gaining weight.
Still losing hair.
Still waking at 3am.

And you’re starting to wonder if it’s “just stress” or “just getting older.”

Here’s what most women aren’t told:
“Normal” lab ranges are statistical averages — not optimal ranges for you.

Your TSH might sit comfortably in range, but that doesn’t tell us:
• How well you’re converting T4 into active T3
• Whether you’re reverse T3 dominant
• If stress is suppressing thyroid signalling
• If mineral imbalances are slowing metabolism at a cellular level
• If your nervous system is stuck in survival mode

Thyroid function isn’t just about one number.
It’s about how your cells are responding.
This is why I look beyond basic screening.

-Comprehensive blood review.
-Mineral patterns.
-Stress physiology.
-Metabolic clues.

Because symptoms are data.

And if your body is whispering (or screaming) that something isn’t right — that matters more than a “normal” checkbox.

If this sounds like you, it’s worth looking deeper.

If you’ve been waiting for a Saturday appointment… this is it.

I have one spot left this Saturday 21st February.

If you’re navigating hormone shifts, thyroid symptoms, stubborn fatigue, weight gain, gut problems or you simply just don’t feel like yourself anymore, this is your chance to finally get some answers and a clear plan.

Your health deserves more than “your labs are normal.”

What is HTMA, and why do I use it so often in clinic?

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a simple lab test that measures the minerals and mineral ratios stored in your hair.

Hair is a soft tissue. It reflects patterns over the past 3–4 months, not just what happened yesterday.

HTMA gives us insight into:
• Your metabolic rate (fast vs slow)
• Adrenal stress patterns
• Thyroid influence at a cellular level
• Mineral deficiencies and excesses
• Heavy metal burden
• Nervous system balance

It’s not a replacement for blood tests.

It’s a complementary tool that often explains why you still don’t feel right.

If you’re tired but your labs are “normal,” gaining weight despite doing everything right, anxious, flat, or stuck in perimenopause or thyroid dysfunction, this is often the missing piece.

It’s not about guessing.
It’s about patterns.

As hormones change, brain chemistry does too.

Strength training boosts BDNF — a growth factor that protects brain cells and supports mood, focus and resilience.

In perimenopause and beyond, when oestrogen declines and brain support drops, muscle becomes one of the most powerful tools for long-term brain health and longevity.

Just another reason why muscle matters more than ever in perimeno and beyond!

So many people are told “your labs look fine” once they’re on T4 medication — yet they can still feel flat, foggy, tired, puffy or stuck with weight that won’t shift.

Here’s the part that often gets missed:

T4 is only a pro-hormone. Your body still has to convert it into active T3 for it to actually work.

And that conversion depends on things like:
-Nutrient status
-Liver and gut function
-Stress and cortisol levels
-Muscle mass
-Inflammation
-Blood sugar balance

If those pieces aren’t supported, you can be “on medication” and still feel unwell.

Medication can be essential — but it’s rarely the whole picture.

If you’re still symptomatic, that doesn’t mean you’re failing treatment.

It usually means your body needs more support around it.

A little bit of work and digging around why your body is presenting with certain conditions and giving it the support it needs, can go a long way for better health.

Mental health shifts in menopause are common, biological, and often deeply unsettling — especially when they seem to come out of nowhere.

One day you feel like yourself, and the next you’re more anxious, flat, overwhelmed or unmotivated than you’ve ever been. Not because your life suddenly fell apart, but because your brain chemistry, stress response and blood sugar regulation are all being quietly reshaped by hormonal change.

What’s really happening? 🔍

As oestrogen declines, the brain has less support for key mood-regulating neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine and GABA.
At the same time, blood sugar becomes more prone to swings that can drive irritability, anxiety and fatigue, while the nervous system often becomes more reactive to stress and poor sleep.

The result can feel like you’ve “lost your resilience” — when in reality, your physiology is asking for a different kind of support.

If your mental health feels different in menopause, you’re not failing. It’s a sign your body is in transition — and with the right foundations, things can feel steadier again.

Every woman’s journey is different, that’s why it can feel confusing.

You don’t need another New Year reset.
You need something different.

Every January, I notice a familiar feeling in so many women — a mix of tiredness, frustration, and that quiet sense of “why can’t I get this to stick?” even when they’ve been trying really hard.

If that feels familiar, please know this: the problem isn’t you.

Most resets aren’t built for real life — for busy mums in their 40s juggling hormones, thyroid changes, stress and low energy. They ask for more when your body is already running on empty.

Real change comes from small, supportive habits that work with your body, not against it.

If you’re feeling flat, foggy or heavy right now, start here this week:
Eat protein first at breakfast, before coffee. Even a small amount can help stabilise energy and cravings later in the day.

This year doesn’t need to be extreme.

It just needs to be sustainable.

Small changes, big benefits

You don’t need a perfect plan.

You need small, buildable steps — done consistently.

Most women I work with think progress comes from doing everything:
perfect meals, perfect workouts, perfect routines.

But real change happens when we’re being consistent with the smaller things:

• drink water before coffee
• eat protein at breakfast
• take a 10-minute walk
• go to bed 30 minutes earlier
• support your thyroid and nervous system.. not ask more of them.

These small actions may feel insignificant — but done daily, they compound.

Especially when your hormones, thyroid or energy are already under strain,
“all or nothing” thinking keeps you stuck.

Small steps:
✔ reduce overwhelm
✔ calm the nervous system
✔ create momentum
✔ build trust with your body

And momentum is what will lead to results.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to start — this is it.
Choose one small thing today.
Repeat it tomorrow.
Then build.

That’s how sustainable change happens.

New on the blog… 🤓 If December already feels like “too much,” you’re not alone.

The silly season is one of the toughest months on your hormones, adrenals and thyroid… not to mention gut, brain and liver 😵‍💫

I’ve written a new blog to help you stay balanced, calm and energised through the holidays — so you can look after yourself before you hit breaking point, and avoid becoming the stressed, “yelly” mum you never want to be.

Inside, I share why your nervous system sets the tone for everything this month, how stress slows digestion and triggers bloating, and the simple daily shifts that protect your thyroid from that end-of-year crash.

21/11/2025

Oestrogen and progesterone are a big part of the health of your thyroid and are big reasons why your thyroid function can go a bit wonky at this time 🥴

During perimenopause, progesterone naturally declines — and because it plays a crucial role in thyroid hormone conversion, receptor sensitivity, metabolism and particularly nervous system regulation, even small drops can create some big symptoms 😣

This is why so many women experience weight gain, fatigue, anxiety, cycle changes and “thyroid-like” symptoms long before their blood tests show anything abnormal.

Your hormones don’t work in isolation, and your thyroid never operates on its own.

When progesterone falls, and oestrogen soars… your whole system feels it.

If you’re navigating these symptoms and want proper guidance, I’m here to help you understand what your body is really trying to tell you.
