I test, I don’t mess…with minerals and heavy metals!

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Test (HTMA) is affordable functional test that has been used for more than 60 years to study minerals for soil science, plant nutrition, animal and human nutrition. It provides unique cellular reading of the mineral and heavy metal levels in the body. By analyzing small samples of recent hair growth, you can get a snapshot of what your body has been exposed to and what it is eliminating through the hair. This data is valuable for prioritizing which DIET and LIFESTYLE strategies will be most effective for addressing your bio-individual needs. From the HTMA test you can learn your metabolic rate, stress level, immune system function, if you are eating enough protein or too many carbohydrates, tendencies for 30+ illnesses often before they manifest, adrenal and thyroid glandular activities. You will NOT learn from HTMA the total body load of any single mineral level, diagnosis of any disease or illness, a “prescription” for specific mineral supplements to recommend.

Minerals are elements that are essential for hundreds of physiological functions, including nerve signaling, electrolyte balance, digestion, pH regulation, bone structure, blood sugar balance…the list goes on!

You can think of minerals like “SPARK PLUGS” because they act as cofactors for thousand of metabolic reactions in your body. Mineral balance is foundational to nutritional therapy and essential for health and vitality!

Heavy metals are elements that are toxic when they accumulate in the body. We are exposed to heavy metals everyday via our food, water, and environment. While important to reduce exposure whenever possible, it is also critical to support the body’s ability to detoxify and excrete heavy metals. The HTMA provides insights into how to best support this detoxification process.
