Still exhausted—even on thyroid meds?

If you’ve ever said something like:

“I’m on thyroid meds but I still feel exhausted.”
“My doctor says my labs are normal—but I know something’s off.”

You're not alone. I hear this from women all the time.

Almost every client who comes into my practice is struggling with low energy—and almost every one of them has either been diagnosed with a thyroid issue… or suspects one.

But here’s the truth most providers miss:

Your thyroid needs minerals.

And I’m not talking about a multivitamin fix here.

I’m talking about how specific mineral patterns can completely change how your thyroid functions at a cellular level—where real energy production happens.

Let me explain…

Why Blood Labs Don’t Tell the Whole Story

Blood tests measure how much thyroid hormone is circulating in your blood.

But that’s only half the story.

What really matters is: Is that thyroid hormone getting inside your cells where it actually works?
Because if not, you’re going to stay stuck with symptoms like:

  • Fatigue and burnout

  • Brain fog that makes everything harder

  • Weight gain (even when you're eating clean)

  • Hair loss

  • Cold hands and feet

  • Constipation

  • Low mood or anxiety

So many of my clients have been told, “Your thyroid labs look normal”—and yet they’re still dragging themselves through the day.

Here’s where HTMA comes in…

HTMA stands for Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis—and it’s one of the most revealing tests I use.

One of my favorite insights from the HTMA is the Ca/K ratio—aka the thyroid ratio.

When this ratio is high, it points to thyroid hormone resistance at the cellular level—basically, your cells aren't using the hormone the way they should. That equals… energy loss.

I had this exact problem myself.

My bloodwork looked “fine,” but I was exhausted, foggy, freezing cold, and constantly hitting a wall with my energy. It wasn’t until I ran an HTMA that I saw what was really going on.

Once I addressed my mineral imbalances and supported my body with the right nutrients, everything shifted.

More energy. Clearer thinking. A metabolism that finally cooperated.

Inside my Functional Nutritional Therapy Program…

I utilize both comprehensive blood work and HTMA testing in my Functional Nutritional Therapy Program. We take a full look at what’s going on—and connect the dots that others miss.

I’ll show you:

  1. The essential blood markers I recommend running every year

  2. Exactly how to request these labs from your doctor (and what to do if they won’t cooperate)

  3. Instructions for getting accurate results when your blood is drawn

With this testing in hand, we’ll uncover what’s driving your fatigue, thyroid issues, and symptoms—and create a personalized plan to help you finally feel like yourself again.
