My Approach to Health

Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) tests for crucial minerals like magnesium, potassium, sodium, calcium, zinc and copper. It also tests for toxic metals like mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and aluminum- all of which can create massive health issues. HTMA’s main focus is on the ratios of the main minerals. The ratios show us trends in metabolism, thyroid health, adrenal health, hormonal balance, blood sugar balance, and cardiovascular health.

A properly read HTMA can help you to determine your gut function, liver health, if you’re using up nutrients due to stress (like infections, mold, etc), and more! If you are not sure where to start your healing journey, HTMA is your answer. It’s the best test to determine overall strength of the body, and can set up your foundation before you move on to work on underlying infections, mold illness, or heavy metal detox.

I believe in helping the body to gain strength FIRST before jumping into heavy detoxing. This way you can reduce the severity of detox reactions, prevent the wasting of minerals, and know exactly what needs the most work at this point in time.

 Hair is formed from clusters of specialized cells that make up the hair follicle. During the growth phase the hair is exposed to the internal environment such as blood, lymph and extra-cellular fluids. 

• Fixing Mineral Imbalances and Deficiencies
• Increase Nutrient Absorption
• Supporting Overall Detox of Heavy Metals and other Toxins
• Overall Health and Wellness
• Supporting Adrenal Health
• Strengthening Your Immune System
• Supporting Women’s Health During Preconception, Pregnancy, or Postpartum

 HTMA Vs Bloodwork: 

• Hair testing is an affordable, simple & non-invasive test that can be done at home for all ages.
• Mineral levels are accurately detected in hair as compared to in the blood.
• Hair results are reliable. They do not change hourly or daily like blood does.
• Blood serum testing can be misleading because excess minerals & heavy metals are not stored in the blood, they are stored in tissues and inside the cells.
• The body deposits excess minerals & dangerous heavy metals in other tissue areas of the body. As hair is formed it is exposed to blood and intracellular fluids & the hair shaft hardens it preserves this information of what is really happening in the body.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis is much more accurate and reliable method of testing. Hair testing will show the precise tissue levels of minerals and heavy metals as compared to blood tests. 

The blood is designed to be the body’s system for transporting nutrients. Therefore it will always try to maintain a homeostatic blood environment, while the body absorbs the toxins internally to tissues, thus altering essential mineral balances.

• Digestive support to help with nutrient absorption and assimilation.
• Food and herb recommendations to help with increasing mineral levels.
• Ideas to get better sleep (if you need help with this).
• Adrenal healing ideas based on your HTMA pattern.
• Nervous system support to help with anxiety, headaches, body pains, and more.
• Detox support (depending on if one is ready for detox- I have recommendations for those that need gentle support OR more in-depth support).

I work on whole-body healing and foundational care that EVERYONE needs.

Whether you just want to increase energy or lose weight, or if you’re healing from something serious, my HTMA programs can help you.
