Why guess when you can test? Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) tests for crucial minerals such as 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. An HTMA can help you to determine your gut function, liver health, and more!
SAMPLE HTMA
How a hair tissue mineral analysis can help you:
Your Nutrition Needs
You'll learn your metabolic type so we can design a plan for you around the foods that are best to support your metabolism. You'll also learn what foods to focus on for certain nutrients based on your mineral imbalances.
Your Mineral Deficiencies & Imbalances
You'll see what minerals are out of balance individually, but also in tandem with each other because certain mineral pairs work together. Every mineral has an impact on every other mineral, so this is really valuable info. Mineral ratios help us figure things out like: if you have impaired digestion, your body's current state of stress and its impact on your adrenals, if your thyroid is functioning optimally, if there is any inflammation in your body, possible heavy metal toxicities, hormonal imbalances, and so much more!
Your Heavy Metals & Detox Needs
HTMA is a screening tool for heavy metals including uranium, lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum and nickel. HTMA is a reliable indicator of toxicity and is helpful in monitoring detoxification progress.
Your Adrenal & Thyroid Health
This might be one of my favorite parts of the analysis. It goes beyond the hormones circulating in blood to what your cells are able to receive. Hair Analysis is the rest of the picture when it comes to recovering from adrenal fatigue and hypothyroidism. If your hormones can't get into your cells effectively you need to know so you can do something about it.
Your Mental Health
Anxiety, depression, brain fog, ADD, ADHD, PMS and other mood disorders are often directly connected to missing minerals and excess heavy metals. Magnesium deficiency, for example, can lead to symptoms of anxiety, irritability and hyper-kinetic behavior (ADHD). Mercury, a heavy metal, affects your memory, mood and thyroid and can contribute to depression.
Mineral imbalances and deficiencies may account for 80-90% of health issues. Emotions, lifestyle, nutrition or poorly balanced food intake definitely effects mineral balance. Organ weakness or imbalance effects mineral balance. Dysfunction with the organs of elimination such as the liver and kidneys can effect mineral balance in a big way. When you are out of balance, you require more energy and exertion. Stress requires adaptation and expends additional energy. Balance requires much less energy to maintain itself. More energy is then available for living.
Addressing the mineral piece of your health puzzle, through this simple, non-invasive test, will go a long way towards deeper lasting results that take you beyond surviving to thriving. Learn what you need so you can restore your body and create long lasting energy and vitality!
This program is for anyone who wants to take their health to the next level and is willing to take personal responsibility and action to implement change. If your health is still not where you want it to be, even after you've cleaned up your diet, detoxed your personal care products, implemented an exercise routine, had normal test results with your doctor, but still don't 'feel' normal - it's time for a tissue mineral analysis! Minerals are your body's spark plugs, when they are missing, or available in excess, you can't ignite your body's engine to function. They impact everything, including your physical, mental and emotional health. Let's start remineralizing your body so you can keep sparking your engine day in and day out!

How the Process Works:
After you sign up, you will get an email confirmation within 1-3 business days with our instructions and intake forms to fill out online. A hair sample collection kit will be mailed to you and can take about a week to get to you. The instructions will have information on how to take the hair sample and where to send it. Please complete all intake forms and return back as soon as possible.
Once you send your sample in to the lab, it can take about 3-4 weeks for the results. Once results are in, and your intake forms are completed, I will email you with your HTMA results. This includes a detailed report (usually about 15 pages), an in-depth breakdown of what your HTMA means. I will also offer available options to schedule a 75-90 minute consultation. Your consultation must be scheduled within 60 days of purchase, which means you will need to submit your sample to the lab within 4-5 weeks of purchase to ensure obtaining a session in time.
The 75-90-minute comprehensive nutrition consultation session includes discussion of your health history, current struggles, goals, and a full nutrition & dietary assessment. We will work together to create a diet and lifestyle protocol that is individual to you that will fit your lifestyle and needs. After our session together, you’ll receive a written personal plan document with all of the notes from our discussion, your detailed personal plan that includes dietary, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations, as well as any other resources (education, recipes, links, etc.) that I think will be valuable to you.
Once you complete your consultation, you will have TWO, 30 minute follow-up coaching check-ins to schedule within 90 days from the date of your initial consultation. This 30-minute session is for accountability and support - we will touch base and discuss struggles and successes and we’ll work together to create new action steps if needed based on your goals and improvements as you implement your plan. We will also discuss any additional ongoing support as needed. These 30 minute touch points are done by phone or email and both sessions must be scheduled within 90 days of your initial consultation. Many find it helpful to schedule follow-ups every 4-6 weeks.
You are also welcome to sign up for additional support after your session if you are looking for greater accountability or coaching. Most clients find they want more coaching sessions to help them work through the program efficiently, or to support habit change, overcome obstacles and answer deeper questions. More information on what additional support looks like, if necessary, will be provided during your individual consultation session.
