In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson is joined by fellow Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner and executive wellness coach Raewyn Guerrero for a powerful conversation on why so many women hit a wall in midlife—and why minerals may be the missing link.

Burnout in your 40s and beyond doesn’t come out of nowhere. Years of stress, under-fueling, over-giving, hormone shifts, and “pushing through” quietly deplete the body’s mineral reserves. Dee and Raewyn explain why midlife is often the moment when the body can no longer compensate—and symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, poor sleep, weight resistance, brain fog, and hormone chaos begin to surface.

This episode dives into Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) as a simple yet profound check-in tool for midlife women. Often referred to as the body’s spark plugs, minerals drive energy production, nervous system balance, hormone signaling, and detox pathways. When minerals are depleted or imbalanced, nothing fires efficiently—no matter how “healthy” you’re eating or how many supplements you’re taking.

Together, Dee and Raewyn discuss:

• Why burnout hits differently in midlife
• How chronic stress reshapes mineral patterns over time
• What HTMA reveals that blood work often misses
• Why minerals are foundational for hormone balance and nervous system resilience
• How rebuilding mineral status creates capacity to heal instead of just cope

If you’re a woman who feels like what used to work no longer does, this episode offers clarity, validation, and a grounded next step. Midlife isn’t a breakdown—it’s often the body asking for a deeper, more personalized approach.

🎧 Tune in to learn how understanding your mineral status can help you move from burnout to resilience—starting at the cellular level.

What happens when you finally stop falling for the same old health promises—and start listening to your body instead?

In this powerful and honest episode, Dee is joined by her client Melanie, who came to her feeling frustrated by stubborn skin issues, weight resistance, and the all-too-familiar midlife “something feels off” experience.

Like so many women, Melanie had tried everything—the diets, the trends, the protocols that promise fast results but never seem to last. Together, Dee and Melanie talk about what it really looks like to step off the fad bandwagon and shift into a more sustainable, empowering approach to health.

You’ll hear how Dee helped Melanie:

• Move away from quick fixes and gimmicky promises
• Learn how her body actually works
• Use functional lab data to uncover hidden stressors and inflammation drivers
• Personalize nutrition, lifestyle, and self-care based on her unique needs
• Build habits that support long-term health—not short-term results

Melanie proudly shares how she’s no longer chasing the next “fix,” but instead creating a lifestyle rooted in awareness, consistency, and self-trust.

If you’re tired of starting over, feeling stuck in your body, or wondering why nothing seems to work anymore—this episode is your reminder that there is another way.

✨ Sustainable health is possible. And it starts when you stop outsourcing your power.

Inflammation is one of the most overlooked root causes behind hormone imbalance, stubborn weight gain, fatigue, brain fog, infertility, autoimmune disease and metabolic dysfunction—especially in women.

In this episode of Confidently Balance Your Hormones, Dee Davidson, FDN-P, breaks down what inflammation really is, why so many people are living with it unknowingly, and how everyday lifestyle and environmental exposures quietly drive chronic inflammatory patterns.

You’ll learn:

• The most common symptoms of chronic inflammation (that are often dismissed as “normal”)
• Why inflammation blocks hormone balance and makes weight loss feel impossible
• The top drivers of inflammation most people miss—food quality, personal care products, water, indoor air, and toxic household exposures
• How endocrine-disrupting chemicals and environmental toxins impact estrogen, thyroid, insulin, and cortisol
• Why “doing all the right things” still doesn’t work when toxic body burden is high

Dee also explains how to test for toxic body burden using advanced functional lab testing, including the Total Toxins Urine Test, and why testing—rather than guessing—is key to reducing inflammation at the root.

The episode closes with practical, realistic first steps you can take to lower your toxic load, plus trusted resources for:

• Cleaner food choices
• Non-toxic personal care and household products
• Water and air filtration
• Community support and education

If you’ve been struggling with unexplained inflammation, hormone symptoms, or feeling stuck in a cycle of trial and error, this episode offers clarity, science-backed insight, and a calmer path forward.

🎧 Listen now to learn how reducing inflammation and toxic load can change your hormones, metabolism, and long-term health.
