WHY YOU SHOULD CONSIDER AN HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) TEST
.
Are you struggling with things like:
🔹️Hair loss
🔹️Digestive problems
🔹️Thyroid issues
🔹️Blood sugar dysregulation
🔹️Bacterial overgrowths
🔹️Hormonal imbalances
🔹️Nutrient deficiencies
🔹️Fatigue
🔹️Low immunity
🔹️Liver issues
🔹️Kidney issues
or anything that can potentially be connected to these things, YOU NEED ONE

How?
We take a piece of hair💇‍♀️ (approximately 2 inches thick and long) from the base of the scalp and send it to a lab for analysis of one’s mineral content. Hair, in essence, is dead cells, thus what the lab is measuring is the mineral system within these cells. It will provide information on one’s mineral status, ratios between minerals and heavy metal toxicity- all in which that can help us understand how some systems within the body are functioning and if you potentially are suffering from any heavy metal toxicity
.
Why is this important?
Minerals are like electricity for our cells! They provide the energy to the cells to do what they have to do, but if the levels are imbalanced, you can end up unbalancing another mineral, fueling a dysfunction within the body, or both. Understand that the body RUNS on enzymatic reactions but minerals make enzymes GO.
As Morley Robbins would say “Minerals run the show”🧬
.
But why not blood or urine?🩸
Technically speaking, the average amount of hair of that length typically takes 3-4 months to grow, where as blood and urine are simply snapshots in time. Thus, HTMAs can help us assess our cells’ mineral system over a longer period of time.
Dis-ease does NOT happen over night, thus to see a progression can help us detect and avoid further spiraling.
