"It's all in your Head"

The Hidden Consequences of Mineral Imbalance
and New Insights it offers for Emotional Eaters

Tired of always feeling tired? Maybe you even know you're grumpy, it's not the truth of who you are but you can't seem to get out of this low energy pattern you've been in.
You're dieting and exercising yet nothing changes?
And no matter how diligently you supplement, exercise and eat well, you still find yourself exhausted and moody.
Do you wonder if it’s all in your head?

For over forty years I've heard: "You're in the normal range."
Like many women on a healing journey, my path has been misdiagnosis, unanswered questions, and frustrating dead-ends.
I've navigated the intense challenges of a cancer journey, multiple surgeries due to endometriosis, and still struggled to feel fully healthy.
In a conversation with a naturopath, she suggested something called Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA). She explained that this simple test reveals what's happening in the body at a cellular level, providing clarity on what my body truly needs.
Why hadn't anyone told me about this sooner?
I dove in and finally found an explanation for the invisible scenario unfolding inside my body— an imbalance undetectable by traditional blood or urine tests. An imbalance that caused my doctor to want to prescribe stantins. What a mistake that would have been if I had listened.
Today I know what has been going on with me for over three decades is not what requires stanting although this is happening for many women.

Why does mineral balance matter so much?
When your minerals are out of sync, your body becomes susceptible to dysfunction and disease. HTMA provides a snapshot of your mineral interactions and depletion, acting like a roadmap to your body’s hidden imbalances.

The balance—or imbalance—of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, and copper forms the foundation of your health. Understanding this balance can inform critical choices about food, supplements, water quality, and even environmental toxin exposure.

A key insight that really landed for me: stress isn't just emotional or mental—it's deeply physiological.
Chronic stress and unresolved trauma throw your body into constant high alert, altering your mineral balance profoundly. Ever been told to “just lose weight”?
Well, it’s not always that simple. The real solution lies in understanding why emotional eating occurs in the first place.

When you're caught in a heightened emotional state—like fight or flight—your body can’t effectively absorb nutrients from food, leaving you nutritionally starved. If you exist on processed foods, this further depletes crucial minerals, sabotaging your satiety signals and leading to binge cycles, mood swings, or even behaviors mistakenly labeled as personality traits.
Understanding exactly what you're dealing with allows you to make meaningful changes.

Let's talk specifically about calcium. Most people see calcium purely as a beneficial mineral, but an imbalance can significantly disrupt your central nervous system.
Excess calcium acts like a sedative, resulting in lethargy, depression, and emotional withdrawal. Over time, if this imbalance persists, sodium and potassium levels drop, causing calcium to deposit in your soft tissues instead of remaining bioavailable. This condition, known as Calcium Shell, was identified through hair mineral analysis by Dr. Paul Eck.

In a Calcium Shell state, calcium isn't properly utilized. Instead, it accumulates dangerously in your arteries, brain, kidneys and other organs. Emotionally, Calcium Shell acts as insulation, dulling sensations and feelings. Physically, it leads to issues like bone spurs, arthritis, chronic pain, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, kidney stones, and reduced mobility due to spinal deposits.
When calcium isn’t bioavailable, you may experience muscle tension, anxiety, cramps, irritability, and trouble sleeping. In later life, your body may desperately pull calcium from bones, potentially leading to osteoporosis.
Knowing this, would you still take calcium supplements without ensuring
your body could effectively absorb them?

I admit when I look at back now, my supplement routine has been based on guesswork. I didn’t know it was possible to access such precise information.
The beauty of HTMA is its unique ability to provide a detailed snapshot of your body's activity based on a bit of history, unlike blood or urine tests which results are from the present moment.

Another factor HTMA highlights is copper accumulation, which exacerbates emotional symptoms like skin rashes, headaches, PMS, hot flashes, menstrual irregularities, panic attacks, fears, and phobias. Copper toxicity can even influence personality traits, pushing you into an intense, overly-driven state, constantly feeling the need to work harder. Maybe this is you or you have women in your life who are like this. Often women who are driven, may be so due to this imbalance. It has crushed me at times when others told me I was pushy. Not the truth of who I am, yet that’s one of the ways having a mineral imbalance can affect you
