It's not in your head. And it's not just menopause. This test shows you what's actually going on.
The Test Women Choose When They’re Struggling but Told Everything Is “Normal”
The personalised Mineral Root Cause Analysis test package helps you understand what’s been driving fatigue, brain fog, low motivation and sluggish metabolism.
Over 500 busy women beat burnout,
cleared the mental fog, and got their focus back... starting with a simple mineral test.
Still Exhausted.
Still Told You're Fine.
Still Waiting for Answers...!
Most women who arrive here have already done the sensible things.
They’ve seen their GP, had blood tests, and been told everything looks normal.
And yet they still feel exhausted, foggy, anxious, flat… or simply not like themselves anymore.
One reason for that is simple: standard blood tests rarely measure how minerals are functioning inside the body’s tissues.
Yet… minerals regulate the very systems that control energy production, stress resilience, metabolism, mood and hormone signalling.
This test looks at that missing layer.
Over 500 busy women beat burnout,
cleared the mental fog, and got their focus back... starting with a simple mineral test.
‘The test was a game changer.
I finally understood what my body was missing.’ – Claire, 52
This is for you if you're over 45, you've had blood tests that came back normal, and you're still exhausted, foggy, or just not feeling like yourself. You've probably already tried a few things. This test looks at the layer most testing misses entirely
Why You Can Feel Awful Even When Blood Tests Are "Normal"
The things that are tested in blood, linked to fatigue and other common symptoms, are tightly regulated by the body.
For example, even when minerals are overall depleted in the body, the blood levels can stay within normal ranges. This is a protective mechanism for our survival. But it doesn’t mean everything is tickety-boo!
Hair Mineral Analysis provides a broader view of minerals stored in the body, over roughly the previous three months.
It doesn’t replace blood testing. It reveals a different layer of information that blood can’t provide.
For many women experiencing fatigue, mood swings, anxiety, weight gain or burnout patterns, that missing layer often explains why they feel lousy but their blood tests are ‘normal.’
What This Test Can Reveal
Mineral levels and patterns shown by this simple, unobtrusive test can reveal issues linked to:
persistent fatigue and low motivation
anxiety or emotional overwhelm
brain fog and poor concentration
weight gain or metabolic slowdown
burnout patterns and low stress tolerance
heavy metals interfering with normal function
They can show many more dysregulations too such as related to gut health, your body’s ability to detox, and much more.
Rather than looking at just single markers in isolation, the analysis I carry out focuses on relationships between minerals, which often explains why symptoms persist even when other tests appear normal.

What You'll Receive
HAIR MINERAL TEST
A simple, at-home hair sample that gives insight into your mineral balance, heavy metal load, metabolic patterns, and energy productions.
No blood tests. No clinics. No stress.
EXPERT ANALYSIS
Your results are personally reviewed and analysed by me to identify key mineral imbalances that may be contributing to fatigue, low mood, low motivation and metabolic slowdown.
This is not an automated report or generic interpretation.
1 TO 1 ZOOM CONSULTATION
A private session where I walk you through your results, explain what they mean for how your body has been functioning, and answer your questions.
You’ll leave understanding what’s been driving your symptoms, and what makes sense as a next step (if anything).
Here's How It Works...
STEP 1: Non-Invasive at-home Mineral Test
You'll receive a test kit in the post, which you can do at home, with minimal stress or fuss by taking a small sample of hair. You then send the kit back in the post (to a UK address), it is sent to the US laboratory for analysis and we wait for the results!
STEP 2: LIVE Zoom Consultation
Once I receive the results we'll meet on Zoom so I can show you your results and walk you through exactly what is going on in your body, right now and driving the way you feel. I will also explain my recommendations for your best next steps!
Can I buy the test on its own?
This package isn’t just a lab test.
It includes the test itself, expert analysis of your results, and a 1-to-1 Zoom consultation so you can understand what your results mean in the context of your symptoms.
Many women come to me after buying a test elsewhere and feeling confused by a generic report that doesn’t explain what’s actually driving how they feel.
This package is designed to give you clarity, not just data, so you’re not left guessing or interpreting results alone.
What makes this different from a standard mineral test?
This package isn’t just about running a test, it’s about understanding what the results actually mean for you.
I don’t just use this test in my own clinical work; I also train other health professionals in how to interpret it properly. Many practitioners come to me when their clients feel worse, not better, because the data has been taken out of context.
When you book this package, your results are personally reviewed by me and explained in a 1:1 Zoom consultation. I’ll walk you through what your mineral patterns suggest about how your body has been adapting, how this connects to your symptoms, and why certain issues may have been missed until now.
Instead of being left with a generic report, you leave with clarity, and a clear understanding of what makes sense as a next step, if anything.
What happens after my test results are back?
You'll receive a full analysis explaining what your mineral pattern suggests and what may be driving your symptoms. Some women use the insights alone, others choose personalised guidance to actively correct the imbalances. If you decide you'd like more support, the cost of the test package will be deducted.
How long do I have to use the test?
Your package is valid for 3 months from the date of purchase.
This gives you plenty of time to receive your test kit, return your hair sample, wait for results (which typically take 2–3 weeks once the lab receives your sample), and then have your 1:1 Zoom consultation with me.
There’s no need to rush. As long as your sample is returned and your consultation booked within the 3 month window, you’re fully covered.
If you already know you may need a little flexibility, just let us know when you purchase - we’re happy to help where possible.
About Me...
Hi, I’m Vanessa.
I specialise in helping women understand why their body suddenly feels harder to live in, even when their tests say “normal”.
I trained specifically in perimenopause physiology and mineral health because this stage of life is consistently misunderstood and underserved in conventional medicine.
I now work with women across the UK and internationally who want clarity about what their body has been coping with, and how to start restoring balance again.
Every month without answers is a month your body stays depleted.
Most women who find this page have already been struggling for 12, 18, sometimes 24 months or more.
That's not a body flaw.
That's what happens when the root cause stays hidden.
But mineral imbalances don't resolve on their own. And every month that passes is another month of:
> Running on empty and just about coping
> Watching your patience, energy and spark slowly disappear
> Trying supplements that don't work because nobody knows what's actually missing
> Missing out on the version of yourself you know is still in there
£129 is less than most women spend in a month on supplements and other things, trying to feel better, that aren't targeted to what their body actually needs.
It's one test. One conversation with Vanessa. And finally, a real answer.
These women started exactly where you are now
My energy levels have improved massively.
"I was really struggling with life! Fatigue, no energy, aching joints, no motivation and constantly sick with recurring infections, including urine and sinus infections.
My energy levels have improved massively. My joint pain is gone and I haven't had any infections for months now. My sleep has improved and I have made lots of changes."
Claire, Glasgow
I have been feeling happier and less stressed...
"My energy levels improved pretty quickly and I was feeling more energetic. I also started eating more but I needed to and finally food felt like it was digesting.
My skin has taken time to clear but is much better. I have been feeling happier and less stressed too. Definitely getting more done and not needing to sleep in the daytime!"
Farida, Surrey
She understands women in their 40s and 50s...
"Vanessa’s advice was life changing for me. She understands women in their 40s and 50s and the approaches that can keep them healthy when nothing else is working.
I would still be living in a fog of exhaustion if not for her. I couldn’t recommend her more highly."
Susan, London
...she has educated and supported my return to myself again.
"Wow! is the one word I would describe this! I was on the floor both physically and emotionally. A difficult time with hormones mixed with life stress had taken it out of me.
Vee’s knowledge, and approach on my recovery journey has been outstanding and she has educated and supported my return to myself again.
I would wholeheartedly recommend this to everyone as it is unique to your own vitality requirements. Great value for money and that all important investment in yourself!"
Julie, Cheshire
...seeing improvements in all areas of my health has been very rewarding.
"My anxiety was through the roof. My hair was falling out, migraines, terrible insomnia, up and down weight, low mood, fatigue and brain fog. All of the above have improved and still improving!!
It’s been and still is work in progress but slowly and surely everything is going in the right direction.
I was at an all time low so seeing improvements in all areas of my health has been very rewarding."
Rachel, Lancashire
I feel like the young at heart, fun-loving, energetic me is slowly returning....
"I had zero energy and often fell asleep at my desk in the afternoons. I had acid reflux, brain fog, dizziness and hot and cold sweats.
Since working with Vee, I have more energy, I don’t have the 3 pm afternoon slump at work and am slowly recovering my life now with my friends.
I feel like the young at heart, fun-loving, energetic me is slowly returning.... and I have lost over a stone in weight!"

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this test done?
This test uses a small hair sample, analysed by a specialist laboratory in the US that meets strict quality and control standards. There are currently no UK laboratories that run this test to the same level.
I coordinate the process for clients in the UK, US and Europe. Your kit includes return postage for your country, and all consultations take place via Zoom.
Why hair and not blood?
Hair provides information on mineral and metal levels in body tissues over a longer period, roughly the previous three months.
Blood tests are tightly regulated by the body and often appear “normal” even when tissue levels are imbalanced. Hair analysis gives a broader picture of how the body has been adapting over time.
Can I ask my GP to run this test?
No. This test doesn't form part of the NHS testing criteria and so isn't available through your GP
How much hair is needed?
Only a small amount of hair is required. It’s taken from the back of the head and isn’t noticeable.
This test can also be helpful in identifying mineral patterns that may contribute to hair loss.
I colour my hair, will this affect results?
No. Coloured hair is not a problem.
I’ll simply ask you to wait a couple of weeks after colouring before collecting your sample.
Is mineral testing just for menopause?
No. While many of my clients are women in peri- or post-menopause, this test can be used for anyone.
It’s even used in animals, including dogs and horses, to help identify mineral imbalances affecting health. If a family member is interested in testing, feel free to get in touch.
Is this just for fatigue, moods and metabolism?
Not at all.
This test can provide insight into a wide range of symptoms, including anxiety, mental health concerns, skin issues, digestive problems and more. Fatigue, mood and metabolism are simply the most common reasons people start here.
What qualifications do you have?
I’m a certified and registered nutritional therapist, with advanced training in this specific test.
I also work alongside, and support the training of, other practitioners in how to interpret these results correctly. This test can be complex, and incorrect interpretation can lead to inappropriate supplementation, which is why proper training matters.
