What is mineral testing for HA recovery and how can it help? Testing minerals is something that we've started doing more and more in our practice over the past years to help get to the root cause of:
- delayed recovery
- issues with cycle optimization
- trouble shooting conception challenges
and overall symptoms and issues that come up when dealing with hormones.
Let's discuss it and if HTMA (hair tissue mineral analysis testing) is right for you!

In today's episode, Melody from our Restore Your Fertility group program opens up about her journey from hypothalamic amenorrhea (HA) to ovulation and ultimately, pregnancy, all within a remarkable 12-week period!
But as we all know, the path to there isn't always smooth sailing. Melody faced significant hurdles along the way, including grappling with doubts related to PCOS and navigating the challenge of letting go of her fit girl identity.
Tune in to hear Melody's inspiring story—it's a testament to resilience and the power of determination. I'm certain many of you will find her journey relatable and inspiring.
The PCOS study I mentioned (and slightly butchered 😂).

There are many things that are important for period recovery. As a coach, when I look at client food logs and consider recommendations, there are a few things that come up time and time again. Today, I'm sharing them with you.
Adrenal cocktail ideas:
ADRENAL COCKTAILS
Option 1:
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tsp cream of tarter
Splash of Redmonds
Sea Salt
Option 2:
11 oz Coconut Water
¼ tsp Celtic Sea Salt
½ lime
1 scoop Natural Calm
Ice
Option 3: This one is called "Creamsicle Adrenal Cocktail"
1/2 cup pull-free orange juice, no sugar added (and preferably freshly squeezed)
2 tbs coconut milk, unsweetened
1 scoop vanilla (or unflavored) collagen
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp sea salt or pink Himalayan salt
- Root vegetables, under rated for recovery!
- Reducing/removing caffeine. Here is a link to my video about caffeine: https://youtu.be/hD5aRude7GM
- Eating regularly, including snacks: Snacks between all meals help with blood sugar, energy and getting calories in.
- Eating protein, carbs and fat with all main meals: blood sugar, cals, stress... all the things!
- Eating first thing in the morning: same as above - calories, stress etc.

Jay Feldman, a health coach, independent health researcher, and the host of The Energy Balance Podcast,
Learn more from Jay:
Find The Energy Balance Podcast
https://www.jayfeldmanwellness.com/guide
Questions I ask Jay:
- Hypothalamic amenorrhea in women is when energy intake is so low, and typically energy output is also too high, and a menstrual cycle stops. Let’s talk about what this looks like for men? RED-S etc.
- Many people, in particular women, feel like men (eg, their partners) don’t have to eat as much, can skip meals etc, and can train as much as they want, and it’s difficult for women to continue eating to heal with this comparison. Is it true? Can men just train and fast as they want with no repercussions?
- What are some signs and symptoms that a males hormones are “out of balance”
- TRT for men is everywhere: It feels like this huge discussion is advertising that TRT in any and all men has absolutely no negative repercussions and only an upside. Is there truly no cost to TRT for men? Should they all be going to their doctor to try and get it? Do these clinics opening up specifically for TRT make senes for the most part?
- Many already unwell women, and likely men, believe that so long as they are eating enough they should be able to exercise during a healing phase. What does it look like for exercise to actually be harmful?
