A Letter to the Athlete Who Doesn’t Feel Like Herself Anymore: How Mineral Balancing Helps Women Rebuild Energy and Confidence
Nov 11, 2025Hey there,
This letter is for the woman who used to thrive on the feeling of being strong who knew her body like an old friend. In a way I feel like I'm writing this to myself too, see I was this woman, I felt this pain, I felt this emptiness, the loss of self.
The woman who once felt unstoppable, confident, clear, and powerful… but now wakes up already tired.
You still care.
You still train.
You still want to feel like you.
But lately, everything feels harder.
You’re eating well. You’re sleeping (as best you can). You’re doing all the “right things.”
Yet your workouts feel heavier, your recovery slower, and your energy just… off.
And every time someone says, “Maybe you’re just getting older,” a small part of you shuts down.
Because deep down, you know that’s not the whole story.
I know that feeling because I’ve lived it.

I used to push through everything.
I was disciplined, driven, and fueled by the idea that I could out-train or out-eat whatever my body threw at me.
And for a while, it worked.
Until it didn’t.
My strength faded.
My focus blurred.
My body the one that always showed up — stopped cooperating.
I remember sitting in my car after a workout one day, staring at my reflection, thinking:
“Who even is this version of me?”
Every lab I ran came back “normal.”
Every practitioner told me to “rest more,” “eat less,” or “maybe I was depressed”
But nothing explained why my body no longer felt like mine.

The truth I discovered changed everything.
Your body doesn’t just decide to stop performing.
It adapts to stress, to undernourishment, to life lived in high gear.
All those years of early mornings, late nights, hard workouts, and endless “go mode”?
They don’t disappear they accumulate.
And underneath it all, your cells the very foundation of your energy start to run low on the minerals that keep everything functioning.
Magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium, zinc…
They’re not just nutrients; they’re communication lines.
They tell your muscles when to contract, your hormones when to fire, your brain when to focus, and your adrenals when to calm down.
When they fall out of balance (as they often do for athletes, busy professionals, and women juggling everything), your body shifts into protection mode.
You start feeling tired instead of sharp, heavy instead of strong, anxious instead of driven.
It’s not that you’ve lost your edge.
It’s that your body has adapted to survive not to perform.

That’s where mineral balancing comes in.
Mineral balancing is the process of restoring your body’s foundation at a cellular level so you can perform, recover, and feel strong again.
Through Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), I look at how your body’s been coping over time:
-
how stress has impacted your adrenals,
-
how your metabolism is functioning, and
-
where your minerals have shifted out of balance.
From there, we rebuild with targeted nutrition, recovery support, and lifestyle shifts that align with your body’s needs now, not what worked ten years ago.
You haven’t lost her.
That woman who used to love how her body moved she’s still in there.
She’s waiting for you to start listening.
When we rebuild your foundation, your energy returns.
Your strength feels real again not forced.
You sleep better, recover faster, and start feeling proud of how you show up not frustrated by it.
This is exactly what I help women do inside The Athlete Reset- Mini HTMA Package
