What You Should Know About Your Thyroid

From: Nikki Leary I nikki@rootfornew.com

Hi Reader,

Last week, we talked about metabolism ​(​if you missed it, you can check it out here​)​. But that’s not the only thing a Mineral Analysis can reveal.

This quick test can detect hidden thyroid imbalances and show exactly what minerals your body needs to correct them.

I talk to women all the time who feel like their body is working against them:

❌ The scale won’t budge—no matter what you try​
❌ You’re dragging through the day, running on fumes​
❌ Brain fog makes it impossible to focus

So, they go to the doctor, convinced something has to be wrong with their thyroid. They run standard bloodwork… and then you hear those frustrating words:

“Everything looks normal.”

Your thyroid hormones don’t just float around in your bloodstream—they need to be absorbed and used by your cells. And that’s where minerals come in.

🔹 Too much calcium? It slows your thyroid down, making you feel sluggish and cold ❄️.
🔹 Low potassium? Your body can’t properly use thyroid hormones, leading to brain fog, weight struggles, and low energy. 😩
🔹 Imbalanced minerals? Your metabolism speeds up or slows down, leaving you wired but tired or completely drained.

Why do blood tests miss thyroid issues?

Blood tests only show how much thyroid hormone is circulating—but they don’t tell you if your body is actually using it.

A Mineral Analysis test gives a deeper look at how your cells are functioning, so you can stop guessing and start feeling better.

2026 Issue #43 She Couldn't Lose Weight. Then We Looked at Her Minerals Hi Reader, “I LOST THE WEIGHT!” That’s how my client started our call this week. She was so excited to tell me how much better she felt! She’d lost the weight she’d been struggling with. She wasn’t nearly as tired. And the best part? She wasn’t even thinking about her weight anymore! Now THAT’S a win in my book! 🎉 But let me back up. Seven months ago, things looked very different. When she first came to me this spring,...

2026 Issue #42 Why Building Strength Matters More Than Losing Weight as We Age Hi Reader, The other day, I learned a pretty painful lesson. I was walking our two Great Pyrenees, which is roughly 250 pounds of dog on the other end of my leash. Everything was going just fine. Until Cato spotted something. And took off. With me still holding the leash. Well...for a little while anyway. 😂 Before I knew what was happening, I was flying through the air like I was auditioning for some kind of...

2026 Issue #41 The Power of Now Hi Reader, Earlier this summer, I walked my husband over to a row of trees in our yard and said, "These trees are all dead." He looked at them, acknowledged the problem, and mentally added it to his never-ending list of farm projects. And that was that. Months went by. The trees were still standing. Until one day... CRASH! One of those dead trees came tumbling down and nearly took out our duck coop in the process. Thankfully, the ducks were fine. But can you...
