Perimenopause, Metabolism & Mineral Balance — Rebuilding from the Inside Out

Nutritional Therapist & Mineral Balancing Specialist | Cotswolds & Online

When your body starts changing — and no one explains why

You’re eating the same.
Moving the same.
But suddenly your body holds weight differently, your sleep’s unpredictable, and your patience for chaos feels razor thin.

You’re not doing anything wrong — your biology is shifting.

Perimenopause isn’t a cliff; it’s a recalibration.
Oestrogen, progesterone, cortisol, thyroid — every signal that keeps you steady — starts renegotiating its balance.
And if your minerals are already depleted from years of stress, pregnancies, or running on empty, this transition hits harder.

Why the metabolism slows

This isn’t about calories in, calories out.
Your metabolism runs on minerals and rhythm — sodium, potassium, magnesium, copper, zinc.
They regulate thyroid hormones, cortisol release, blood sugar, and temperature control.
When stress, poor sleep, and light disruption drain them, your body shifts into preservation mode — not to punish you, but to protect you.

Common patterns I see include:

  • Weight settling around the middle from cortisol and sodium loss

  • Fatigue and brain fog from low thyroid conversion

  • PMS intensifying or cycles shortening due to copper–zinc imbalance

  • Sleep disruption from melatonin and magnesium depletion

  • Low mood or anxiety from blood-sugar dysregulation and mineral shifts

Your body isn’t resisting you — it’s asking for stability.

How I can help

I use Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and terrain-based nutrition to decode what’s happening beneath your symptoms.
We identify how stress, light, and mineral balance are shaping your metabolism, hormones, and energy — and we rebuild from there.

Together we’ll:

  • Rebalance key minerals that influence hormonal and thyroid health

  • Support adrenal recovery and cortisol regulation

  • Re-establish circadian cues for deeper sleep and steadier energy

  • Build a nutrition rhythm that supports metabolism without restriction

  • Help you feel at home in your body again

Your next step

Start with a HTMA Deep-Dive Consultation to understand how your mineral blueprint and stress patterns are shaping your hormones and metabolism.

Why this approach works

Because perimenopause isn’t a decline — it’s a redesign.
When minerals, light, and rhythm are restored, your metabolism follows.
Weight begins to redistribute, sleep deepens, mood steadies, and energy returns — not through force, but through alignment.
