The Mineral Test Every Woman Should Take: How It Reveals Thyroid, Adrenal, and Metabolic Health

From: Nikki Leary I nikki@rootfornew.com

Hi Reader,

A few years ago, I remember hitting that point where everything felt… off.

I was exhausted but couldn’t sleep.

I’d work out but the scale wouldn’t budge.

My mood would swing from “I’m fine” to “everyone leave me alone” in about 0.4 seconds.

And of course, I blamed the usual suspects:

💩 Not enough willpower.
💩 Too much stress.
💩 Maybe too much wine??? (I mean, what a horrific thought!)

But the truth was something I couldn’t have guessed in a million years: My minerals were completely out of balance.

Not “take a multivitamin and hope for the best.” I’m talking deep patterns in my thyroid, adrenals, metabolism, and stress response that had been building for years — things my "normal" blood test results never showed me.

And once I saw it? Every weird symptom finally made sense.

Why Mineral Testing Works (The Real, Evidence-Backed Stuff)

😉 It tells you how your thyroid is really doing. Minerals like iodine, selenium, and copper impact the production and conversion of thyroid hormones. If these are out of balance, you can feel hypothyroid even when your labs say “normal.”

🚴‍♀️ It reveals your adrenal health. Your adrenals rely on sodium, potassium, and magnesium. A mineral test shows if you’re burned out, wired but tired, or running on fumes. (Hi, cortisol dysregulation — so nice of you to join us.)

💪 It explains your metabolism. Calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium create your metabolic “type.” Some people slow way down under stress; others burn through fuel too quickly. If you’ve ever said, “I swear I’m eating healthy but nothing is changing,” this is why.

😧 It shows your stress patterns — in black and white. You know how you feel stressed? Your minerals show how your body is experiencing stress. Sometimes the inside story doesn’t match the outside story — and that’s the missing piece.

🎯 It guides targeted nutrition that actually works. Instead of throwing supplements at the wall, you learn exactly what your body needs. It’s personalized, not guesswork.

So here’s my Black Friday gift to you…

Because the holidays get stressful — and because I want you to end this year with clarity instead of confusion — I’m offering something special:

2026 Issue #1 How to Make this the Year You Win From: Nikki Leary I nikki@rootfornew.com Hi Reader, I spent the weekend snowshoeing and sledding in below-freezing Wisconsin weather. I’ve heard mindset is important for surviving winter here… and honestly, I’m still working on that. ❄️ While I work on that, let’s talk about something I am good at: achieving goals. Statistically, most people have already given up on their New Year’s resolution by mid-January. If that’s you, this might be the...

2025 Issue #51 How to Let Go of What No Longer Serves You Before the New Year From: Nikki Leary I nikki@rootfornew.com Hi Reader, We've officially reached the in-between. That quiet stretch between Christmas and New Year's where no one knows what day it is and eating chocolate before 9am somehow feels...acceptable. This is the week where big projects politely wait their turn, productivity loosens its grip, and our bodies finally get a little of the rest they've been asking for all year. And...

2025 Issue #50 What the Winter Solstice Teaches Us About Healing From: Nikki Leary I nikki@rootfornew.com Hi Reader, Last night marked the winter solstice — the longest night of the year. That means that starting today, the days get a little longer. Slowly. Gently. Day by day we get more light. Winter still has a lot to say (the blowing snow and ice on my front steps make that very clear), but there’s comfort in knowing we’ve already passed the darkest point. Out here on the farm, winter...
