Being stuck in the 'calcium shell' could mean fatigue, brain fog, cold hands & emotional numbness

We could think high calcium on a test means we're calcium-rich?

In HTMA testing, high calcium often means our metabolism is slowing down — not speeding up.

This is what I call the 'CALCIUM BUBBLE'. It forms when the body starts to store calcium in soft tissues (like arteries, joints, even the brain), instead of using it properly in bones, teeth and nerves.

The calcium shell can create symptoms like

• Brain fog

• Fatigue or apathy

• Cold hands and feet

• Emotional flatness or detachment

• Bone loss (despite 'normal' blood calcium)

the calcium shell happens because

1. Our metabolism is under stress

2. Our adrenal and thyroid output is flat

3. We're missing cofactors like magnesium, boron, vitamin K2

4. Our sodium/potassium balance is off (critical for calcium regulation)

5. Blood calcium doesn’t tell you the whole story. It’s tightly regulated — even as our tissues calcify.

HTMA shows you if someone is forming a shell… and what to do to rebalance it.

I see this in many women post-menopause who are told to take more calcium — without checking how their body is actually handling it.

If you’re struggling with low energy, stubborn weight, or early bone loss — this is worth investigating.
