Most women’s supplement stacks are working against each other and nobody’s told them. Some fancy Instagram marketing told you what would lower your cortisol and fix your gut health but 4 weeks in you still feel like 💩
Taking MORE is not always the answer.

Zinc blocks copper.
Calcium blocks magnesium.
Iron blocks basically everything.
You could be spending real money every month on capsules that are cancelling each other out and you’d never know, because nobody tested what your body actually needed before you started taking them.

And in perimenopause this matters even more.
Your hormones are already shifting, which throws your minerals off balance on their own - add a stack that’s blocking itself on top of that, and you’re basically working against your own body twice over. Hellooooo gut burden 👋🏻

That’s the fatigue that won’t lift, the iron that won’t budge, the reactions that make no sense. Not because you’re doing something wrong. Because nobody’s ever looked at the whole picture.

Every single capsule I dose is based on someone’s actual mineral levels. Not a guess. Not “this worked for someone else.” Hers.

If you’ve been supplementing for months and still feel like nothing’s shifting comment MAP and let’s find out what your body’s actually asking for 🤍

Unpopular opinion: oestrogen gel isn’t always the hero it’s made out to be. And it’s definitely not where I start.

Everyone’s slapping it on right now like it’s the whole answer. I’m not anti-HRT, but if your minerals are depleted underneath it, you’re propping up a system that’s still breaking down. The gel treats the part that’s loud enough to notice, if you’re lucky. It doesn’t touch what’s actually failing.

This is why so many women are doing everything “right” - HRT included - and still feel fundamentally off. Nothing’s working. The symptoms remain. And that helplessness of doing all the right things and still not feeling right? It’s relentless. And it gets to the point of debilitating.

Managing the loudest symptom isn’t progress. It’s masking. And it’s wasting your time.

I look at the mineral level first. Always. That’s usually the real story. Then once we are metabolising as we should be, we get to soothe the hormonal cascade and nip cortisol in the bud. Happy days!

I used to think I just needed more iron. Turns out I needed less copper.

Nobody tells you that in perimenopause your minerals go sideways before your hormones even show up on a test.

The exhaustion that sleep doesn’t touch. The iron infusions that work for five minutes then wear off. The hives out of nowhere. The wine you used to love now wrecking you for two days. The bloods that come back “normal” while you’re sitting there feeling like a shell of yourself.

I found this out the hard way, then spent years building a way to actually catch it early in other women — because “your bloods are fine” was never good enough for me, and it shouldn’t be good enough for you either.

The beginning of an exciting new chapter 🫶🏻

07/08/2026

Last weekend, I had a disagreement with my eldest daughter.

We’d had a tricky evening out, I was feeling under-resourced, and as I was putting my girls to bed, I told her something I’d been carrying for a while.

I told her that everything in our family revolves around her. That every decision we make starts with making sure she gets to where she needs to be. That even her little sister misses out sometimes because we all put her first.

She didn’t hear me.

She cried. She raised her voice. She pushed back.

I walked away thinking she was projecting.

The next day, while we were wandering around the shops, she turned to me and said, “You were right, Mum.”

Without me saying another word, she told me she’d realised how much our family sacrifices for her. She apologised. She thanked me for showing her something she simply hadn’t seen before.

And in that moment, I realised something too.

She wasn’t projecting onto me.

She was responding to me.

To my nervous system.

To a mother who had walked into that conversation already carrying the weight of the day.

Had I taken five minutes to regulate myself first, I truly believe that conversation would’ve looked completely different.

It reminded me that our children don’t just listen to our words.

They feel our nervous system.

And if I want to continue creating the beautiful, open relationship I have with my girls, then it’s my responsibility to make sure I’m leading them from a body that feels safe, calm and deeply resourced.

Because healing ourselves doesn’t just change us.

It changes every relationship we’re part of.

You’ve been taking iron for months, you’ve tried every brand, had it with citrus, bone broth, eating more red meat.. and yet your labs still look like 💩

Here’s why: iron doesn’t move itself. Copper does that job.
No copper = no iron transport.
So your blood test shows full stores, yet still anaemia symptoms. Iron alone can’t fix a copper problem.

Now stack zinc on top, because every “immunity” supplement right now is loaded with it. Zinc and copper fight for the same door in. Push zinc up, copper drops - and copper’s also what clears histamine. Copper tanks, histamine climbs, and now you’re fatigued, foggy, itchy and wired all at once.
And all you were trying to do was ward off a cold!

And now….

Add perimenopause 😵‍💫
Estrogen swings drag copper stores around with it.
And now you’ve got the exact combo I keep seeing on hair testing: iron that won’t respond to supplements, histamine that makes you react to everything, energy levels that have tanked, a gut that feels ‘off’ and ‘yucky’ on the daily.

Nobody’s testing the ratio. Everyone’s guessing with iron and zinc and wondering why nothing sticks.

3am wake ups. Exhausted but wired. Raging at your kids for nothing. Panicking. Shortness of breath. Feeling like the world is closing in on you, suffocating you, smothering you.
Everything gets LOUD. Relentless.

You’ve been told it’s stress. Told it’s age. Told it’s just what happens now.

It’s not. It’s your minerals. Your hormones. Your metabolism. Your nervous system - all screaming for years and nobody’s actually looked.

I find what your body is screaming for, so that you finally know it’s not you, it’s repairable, and it definitely isn’t a jail sentence.

You don’t have to feel like you’re suffering anymore.
I give you the map so that you get to give your body exactly what it’s craving, and wake up rested, satiated, clear, and turned the hell on by life 🔥

I am turning 40 next month, and when I say I’ve never felt healthier in my entire life, BELIEVE ME!
I’m not gate keeping my secrets, I want everyone to know so they can feel this good too!

I swear by coffee enemas numerous times a week, this isn’t a secret, I share this with you guys alllll the time.
Wild Yam cream before bed, and what I left out was that I usually apply my castor oil pack as well. Not only do I sleep deeper but I also have the easiest early morning toilet stop! Obsessed with waking up and feeling lighter and without bloating 😍
My supplement regime is easy; spore based probiotic (comment spore if you want to know the science behind why I always use a spore based), Therapure meno support because I honestly feel level and energetic when I take them daily.
Lymphatic stimulation is a MUST to help the body eliminate the excess hormone and cortisol debris we experience during perimenopause and menopause. I don’t have a manual therapist rubbing my tum like I do to my clients (😭) so I use my fancy machine to do it. Bonus is I get to liquify dormant fat cells and eliminate those too 🙌🏻 (comment LYMPH if you want to stimulate your detox pathways AND lose belly fat)

THENNNN we have the holy grail. My HTMA protocol. This literally changed my life. 18 months in and I will never not specifically target my body’s minerals. My body now gets what it needs at a cellular level, I know exactly what it requires from my nutrition, and not only am I softening my adrenal and metabolic demands which softens my nervous system load, but I’m also repairing years of adrenal and thyroid fatigue which lead to broken pathways and poor neuro response.

So to break it down for you, I feel like superwoman!
I’m the calmest and most rational I have ever been, I have an incredibly deep and nourishing relationship with my two daughters. I have a STELLAR relationship with food 🤤 (no food noise, no binging, no shame) and my energy levels are dependable and consistent.
All in all, this 40 year old bod feels elite 💁🏻‍♀️

If you’re ready to quit the guessing game and want to set your body up for true success, comment TEST and I’ll send you my protocol 🫶🏻
