HTMA | Functional Testing

Helping women in perimenopause—and women trying to conceive—uncover what labs miss so their hormones, energy, and body finally respond.

08/20/2026

You probably don’t need another supplement.

And you probably don’t need another list of foods to cut out either.

The problem with trying one thing after another is that every new recommendation is still a guess if you don’t understand why your body is struggling in the first place.

Why are you exhausted even though you’re sleeping?

Why has your body composition changed even though you’re eating “healthy”?

Why are you suddenly dealing with cravings, bloating, poor sleep, anxiety, brain fog or periods that feel completely different?

Yes, hormones are changing in your 40s.

But that doesn’t tell me the whole story.

I want to know what’s happening with your mineral status, digestion, blood sugar regulation, stress response, nourishment and your ability to actually absorb and use what you’re taking.

That’s why I use functional testing inside The Rebuild Method.

Not because you need more data for the sake of data.

Because when we can actually see where your body needs support, we can stop throwing another $100 at the supplement cabinet hoping this one finally fixes it.

Stop guessing. Start rebuilding.

The Rebuild Method is coming. 🤎

Women in their 40s aren’t tired of hearing these things because they’re unwilling to make changes.

They’re tired because they’ve ALREADY TRIED.

They’ve bought the supplements.
Changed their diet.
Cut the carbs.
Tracked the calories.
Added the magnesium.
Tried the workout program.
Asked for bloodwork.

And somehow they’re still waking up exhausted, gaining weight around their middle, sleeping like garbage, craving sugar, feeling bloated, anxious, irritable or just… not like themselves anymore.

Then they’re told:

“Everything looks normal.”

“It’s probably stress.”

“That’s just perimenopause.”

But perimenopause isn’t an explanation for why your body is struggling.

It’s a season where the cracks in your foundation can become a whole lot harder to ignore.

This is exactly why I created The Rebuild Method.

Instead of another round of guessing, we look deeper at the systems influencing how you actually feel — your mineral status, stress response, digestion, blood sugar, nourishment, muscle and the patterns your symptoms have been trying to tell you about.

And we use functional testing like HTMA + GI-MAP to help us stop throwing random solutions at a body we haven’t taken the time to understand.

Because after spending $70 here, $120 there, another $300 on supplements and changing your diet four times…

cheap guessing gets REALLY expensive when you do it for three years.

You don’t need another generic perimenopause checklist.

You need to know what your body needs to rebuild.

The Rebuild Method is coming. For the woman who is ready to stop guessing and actually invest in figuring this out. 🤎

Whether you’re trying to get pregnant, recover after having a baby, or navigate perimenopause, these seasons can look completely different.

But when women are struggling, I see a lot of the same pieces underneath:

-Depleted minerals.
-Chronic stress.
-Poor digestion + absorption.
-An imbalanced gut microbiome.
-Sluggish elimination.
-A body that doesn’t have the resources to regulate hormones well.

And this is exactly why I don’t like looking at hormones in isolation.

You can eat the perfect diet and take all the “right” supplements, but if you’re not digesting, absorbing and actually utilizing those nutrients, we’re missing a massive piece.

Your gut also plays a role in estrogen metabolism and elimination. So when digestion is struggling, the microbiome is disrupted, or you’re not eliminating well, that can ripple into how you FEEL hormonally.

This is why I love pairing HTMA + GI-MAP.

One shows me the mineral patterns your body is working with.

The other helps us look deeper at what may be interfering with digestion, absorption and gut function in the first place.

Because whether we’re supporting fertility, postpartum recovery or perimenopause, I’m much more interested in rebuilding the terrain than chasing symptoms one at a time.

Test. Stop guessing. Build the foundation.

DM me FOUNDATION if you’re ready to see what your body is actually asking for.

This one is personal.

When I became a biological mom, I was already a stepmom. And I think because of that, people forgot something important:

I had never been a mom to a newborn before.

And I struggled.

My daughter had colic and I didn’t know how to comfort her. A simple car ride with constant crying could leave me in tears.

I wasn’t sleeping. Things weren’t going great between my husband and me. I had little support close by, craved companionship and felt like I had completely lost myself.

I remember pulling the car over one day and just screaming.

Not at my baby. I was just so overwhelmed, tired and lost that I didn’t know where else to put it.

I loved my daughter beyond words.

And I was struggling beyond words.

Both were true.

Little by little, I found myself again.

Years later, knowing what I know now about nutrition, minerals, hormones and stress physiology, I look back at that woman differently.

We ask SO much of a woman’s body when she creates life.

Pregnancy. Birth. Healing. Breastfeeding. Broken sleep. Hormonal shifts. Nutritional demands.

Then add the mental load, relationship changes, isolation and complete identity shift of becoming a mother.

And when she says she doesn’t feel like herself?

“That’s motherhood.”

The Lindsay Clancy case is devastating. I’m not sharing this to diagnose her or suggest nutrition explains what happened. Maternal mental illness can be severe and requires appropriate care.

But it should make us question how often women have to become really unwell before we stop normalizing their suffering.

Mental health matters.

And so does the physical health of the woman carrying that brain.

Her nutrient status. Thyroid. Hormones. Blood sugar. Nervous system. Sleep. Recovery.

These aren’t competing conversations. We should be having all of them.

Maybe instead of telling a struggling mother, “That’s just motherhood,” we should be asking:

What do you need?

I found my way back to myself.

I just wish we did a better job supporting mothers while they’re trying to find their way back, too. 🤍

You cannot supplement your way out of a body that’s underfed, under-muscled and chronically stressed.

And yet, this is exactly what I see women doing in perimenopause.

-Eating less because their body is changing.
-Doing more cardio because the scale is creeping up.
-Losing muscle without realizing how metabolically important it is.
-Running on caffeine and cortisol all day.

…and then buying another supplement hoping this one will finally balance their hormones.

I love supplements. I use them strategically with my clients.

-But magnesium cannot replace adequate calories.
-Adaptogens cannot replace recovery.
-And a hormone supplement cannot replace the metabolic protection of muscle.

Your body needs raw materials.

Protein.
Carbohydrates.
Fats.
Minerals.
Muscle.
Sleep.
Recovery.

Especially in your 40s, the goal shouldn’t be to eat as little as possible and make your body smaller.

Feed her. Build her. Support her.

Then use supplements to fill the gaps, not hold the entire foundation together.

Maybe the new wellness trend isn’t shrinking ourselves, eating less, doing more cardio or chasing the next quick fix.

Maybe it’s actually giving a damn about the body we’re asking to carry us through our 40s, 50s and beyond.

Eating enough.
Building muscle.
Supporting our minerals.
Having energy.
Sleeping well.
Getting stronger.
And figuring out what our body actually needs instead of guessing.

Healthy, strong, nourished women?

Kinda fu***ng chic. ✨

You can spend thousands chasing estrogen, progesterone, cortisol and thyroid symptoms…

But hormones don’t function in a vacuum.

Your body needs minerals to make energy, respond to stress, support thyroid function, regulate blood sugar, build and metabolize hormones, and move those hormones through the body when they’re done doing their job.

Magnesium. Sodium. Potassium. Zinc. Copper. Selenium.

These aren’t trendy “hormone supplements.”

They’re part of the machinery that allows your body to FUNCTION.

And this is one of the reasons I don’t love the endless symptom → supplement approach to perimenopause.

Hot flashes? Take this.
Can’t sleep? Take that.
Weight gain? Blame estrogen.
Exhausted? More caffeine.
Anxious? Must be cortisol.
Low libido? Must need testosterone.

Meanwhile, nobody has asked what nutritional and mineral state that woman’s body is actually operating from.

And taking random magnesium because Instagram told you to isn’t the same thing as understanding your mineral picture.

This is why I use functional testing like HTMA with my clients.

I want to know what the body is working with BEFORE we keep asking it to do more.

Because sometimes the conversation about “hormone balance” needs to start much further upstream.

DM me MINERALS if you want to learn more about testing instead of guessing.
