It’s Not Just in Your Head—It Might Be in Your Bloodwork

It’s Not Just in Your Head—It Might Be in Your Bloodwork

As a therapist, I’ve worked with so many women who come in feeling anxious, exhausted, irritable, or just… off. And while we always explore the emotional and mental layers, which absolutely matter, I often ask one simple but powerful question:

When was the last time you saw your primary care provider?

Because here’s the truth: your mental health and physical health are deeply connected.
And if you’re ready to start exploring that connection, make sure to grab the free Mental Wellness Check-Up worksheet I created just for you. It’s a simple but powerful way to check in with yourself and get clarity on what your mind and body might be trying to tell you.

You might think you’re battling depression, but it could be a thyroid issue.
You might feel drained and foggy, but maybe your Vitamin D or iron levels are low.
You might feel emotionally unstable, but an undiagnosed hormonal imbalance like PCOS could be at play.

I get it. A lot of people don’t have a regular doctor, and lab work feels like something you only do when something is seriously wrong. But if we’re going to talk about real mental wellness, we have to look at the full picture, including what’s happening inside your body.

Now, I’m not a medical doctor. I don’t diagnose medical conditions or prescribe medication. But what I do know is that therapy isn’t always the only solution. Sometimes it’s not about needing an antidepressant.

Sometimes, it’s about needing answers.

Over time, I’ve noticed more and more clients struggling with physical symptoms that mirror mental health concerns, but no one had talked to them about lab work, nutrition, or hormones. That gap is what led me to explore holistic mental wellness more intentionally.

Because how can we truly heal if we’re only addressing one piece of the puzzle?

This shift has influenced the direction of my next business venture, where I’ll be focusing more on integrative, whole-person care. Mind and body. Therapy and wellness.

So if you’ve been feeling stuck, off-balance, or just not yourself, don’t ignore it.
Get your labs done. Get that physical. Make that appointment.

You deserve clarity, not confusion. Balance, not burnout.

Let’s stop separating mental wellness from physical health.
They go hand in hand and you deserve support that honors the whole you.
