What is a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis?
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a comprehensive test that provides the right information to help us get to the root of chronic disease.
I have been practicing medicine for over 30 years, and during that time, I have been looking for a test that provides the whole picture of what's happening in the human body.
Other lab tests can provide very valuable information such as what foods we are allergic to, the state of our gut, if we have infections, or if our hormone levels are up to par.
With HTMA, we have something extremely powerful.
From one strand of hair, we can tell if you are pre-diabetic, depressed, if your immune system is compromised, or if you have too much aluminum in your system that is impacting your brain health.
We find that everyone who takes this test is glad they did, because the results never cease to shock you, and sometimes, that shock is good.
When we have a powerful emotional response, it activates a willingness to change for the better.
We believe that everyone deserves a shot at impeccable health and vitality.
HTMA uses a small hair sample to get up to 3 months of information on the status of your mineral ratios and heavy metal toxicity which gives us insight into what is throwing the body off-balance.
The hair is the ideal testing mechanism because it shows a cumulative pattern of health information that is safe and non-invasive in nature.
It reveals health data far more detailed than a blood or a urine test.
Data on more than 35 minerals is analyzed as well as 25 important mineral ratios that dictate your health.
What does a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis reveal?
Mineral deficiencies and imbalances
Level of exhaustion present in the body (adrenal fatigue)
Psychological imbalances (I.E., depression, anxiety, ADD)
Heavy metal toxicity
Metabolic rate (slow & fast)
Thyroid function
Nervous system imbalances
Energy levels
Protein synthesis
Liver & kidney stress
Tendency towards inflammation
Carbohydrate tolerance
Blood sugar imbalances (I.E., diabetes, insulin resistance)
We will work with you to come up with a custom care plan to improve your chronic health problems by starting with this incredible test and using serial HTMAs to monitor progress to achieve balance.
