What is an HTMA Test?
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a functional test that uses a small amount of hair to assess your body’s mineral levels, heavy metals, and which systems in your body are stressed (adrenals, thyroid, digestion, liver, blood sugar regulation, overall metabolism, etc).
An HTMA test shows the last 3 months of mineral levels in a person’s tissues whereas a blood test is a snapshot in time and is bound in blood. Minerals are essential for balanced hormones, healthy digestion, healthy adrenal and thyroid function, energy, and a strong metabolism because they are needed for every enzyme reaction in the body.
Imbalanced or depleted minerals will cause symptoms in the body. This test will provide me with essential information on your mineral levels that show me where your imbalances are contributing to poor digestion/gut health, thyroid and/or adrenal dysfunction, blood sugar regulation issues, weight gain, hormonal acne, fatigue, and a slow metabolism.
The HTMA test allows me to see where your imbalances are so I can create a healing protocol based on what your body needs specifically.
Who is this for?
This is for anyone who is experiencing symptoms such as hormonal imbalances, thyroid or adrenal issues, weight gain, hormonal acne, digestive problems, and/or unexplained symptoms.
The HTMA is a non-invasive test which shows the “why” behind symptoms a person is experiencing. When our body doesn’t have minerals, we cannot properly create energy in the body. If we cannot create necessary energy, we will experience symptoms because our body will have a hard time carrying out functions such as hormone production and regulation, digestion, detoxification, repair, growth, conversion of the inactive thyroid hormone to the active form, etc.
When hormones become imbalanced, thyroid issues occur, the metabolism slows down, digestion becomes impaired, energy goes down, heavy metals and toxins build up in the body. This creates unwanted symptoms that are hard to get rid of unless you approach them from a root cause perspective.
How it works: You will order the HTMA test using the link below. After you purchase, I will send the test kit to the address you provided
(You will collect a small sample of your hair (directions sent via email after purchasing) and send in to the lab to get tested. I provide a pre-addressed envelope to send the hair sample in.
After you send your hair in and I receive your results back via email, I will email you with the test and a link to book your 60-minute consulation.
