I was attacking a wall by 2PM every single day of the week. Willpower was not the problem, 100% i was so sure i did all the work (motivational videos, self-help books, knew myself, worked out...) it was simply a feeling of being out of sync in the way I was showing up in the world.

Thistl introduced me to my Mineral Archetype, 'The Overloaded Catalyst,' and for the first time, the pattern behind my afternoon slumps made sense. It was not stress, but a pattern in the way my lifestyle and body were relating to each other.

The knowledge provided me with a framework of how food, blue light from screens and hydration impact my life. This, in turn, allowed me to positively engage my day in a more meaningful manner. In a sense, I was no longer just trying to get through the day, but actually engaged in the evening hours with energy to spare.

It was like I’d finally been given an owner’s manual for how this car (me) should be used lol

I thought hair testing was out there tbh

What wins me over is how it gets my hair data into my Archetype. It's like reading a story about my body's history! which is genuinely such an incredibly cool idea! And i'm learning so much about what's been holding me back. and how i can make a change. And it really feels like it aligns exactly to how I used to feel in the past, Like one of those MBTI or personality tests but more based on my biology, so it feels a lot more on point and i always knew that my body needed the kind of attention i gave my mindset & emotional self, this feels like it brings it all together which is so cool

I spent my 30s building a good life, only to enter my 40s and realize that I was so BURNED OUT that I could not appreciate the travel and time spent with family that I had fought so hard to achieve! I was hoping for more long-term context beyond standard blood tests and check-ups (ha!..)

Checking out my mineral levels with Thistl has provided clarity and direction to the ways in which my body responds to the choices I make about the food I eat. It has done all of this without further pills to take. Like, NONE.

This is e a standard check-in for me now and it feels so fun too, a far cry from 'mumbo jumbo' reports or being in a 6 month queue to just get some data

I actually thought the shadow version of my Archetype, ‘The Stalled Enigma,’ was relatable for sure. It didn’t tell me what was wrong, it helped me understand the state I was operating from. The 90-day guidance gave me structure at a time when everything felt scattered. I’m far more locked in to my patterns now, like how I show up, how I respond, and how things shift over time. So yeh i'd say this didn’t just give me information that i already have from everywhere else

My kitchen cabinet was basically a pharmacy, but I was feeling absolutely overwhelmed. I was fed up of being the ‘supplement guinea pig’ for every health guru out there in the online world. I came across Thistl from an ad on Instagram, and the thing that really caught my attention was that this brand didn’t promise to sell me a pill but to help me understand my body. The Archetype system and the 90-day plan had been a godsend to me as I was then, to my surprise, able to narrow my focus and concentrate only on a miniscule fraction of what I was doing before, and I was finally feeling super connected to my body, particularly my cycles, and didn’t feel like I was throwing money away.

I felt like a ghost of my former self, but every doctor I saw just patted me on the back and said my blood work was 'perfect.' It’s a lonely place to be knowing you’re failing at work but having no way to prove it. Man, i am confident that Thistl was the first time I saw my struggle written in black and white; seeing those elevated environmental markers in my report was the most validating moment of my year.
