HTMA
hair tissue mineral analysis
minerals
measure sufficiency & balance of vital nutrients that our bodies require to function properly
metabolism
assess how effectively your body is able to utilize food for energy & nourishment, heal tissues, detoxify, & maintain homeostasis
metals
identify toxic metal exposures & accumulation in the tissues of your body
Balancing your minerals & addressing heavy metal exposure can help with
fatigue // headaches // weight retention // irregular bowel movements // irregular cycle // adrenal fatigue (HPA-Axis Dysfunction) // thyroid imbalances // hormonal imbalances // nervous system balance // blood sugar regulation
What's Included
Comprehensive Analysis
Measure levels of essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc, and others, alongside toxic metals such as lead, mercury, and cadmium through the HTMA lab, and complete my comprehensive health & lifestyle assessment to dive deep into the "why" behind certain deficiencies, toxicities, and symptoms that you are experiencing.
Personalized Report
-
Mineral Ratios: Understanding how minerals interact within your body.
-
Metabolic State: Insights into your metabolic processes, whether you're in a fast or slow oxidation state, and how to best support your metabolic health through nutrition.
-
Nutrient Deficiencies: Identification of potential deficiencies or excesses.
-
Toxicity Levels: Assessment of exposure to harmful elements.
​
Tailored Recommendations
-
Nutritional Interventions: Customized nutritional advice on foods that will help restore balance & address deficiencies, including general food-as-medicine nutritional guidance.
-
Supplement Guidance: Recommendations on what supplements might benefit you, if any. I take a frugal approach with supplementation, only recommending what is absolutely necessary; I believe in a food & lifestyle first approach, utilizing supplements as tools to fill the gaps.
-
Lifestyle Interventions: Being trained as a functional & integrative practitioner, I value looking at the person & lifestyle as a whole rather than isolating recommendations to 1 modality. Your protocol will include how your daily habits might influence your mineral status, and what lifestyle interventions will be supportive in restoring balance. This includes but is not limited to: circadian rhythm alignment, movement habits & modalities, sleep routine, non-toxic home products, and more.
