ABOUT OUR HTMA PROGRAM
WHAT IS HAIR TISSUE MINERAL ANALYSIS
Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) is a screening and analytical test that uses a small sample of recent hair growth to provide information about a person's mineral and heavy metal accumulation in the tissues over the past 8-12 weeks.
When hair grows, metabolic activity greatly increases which exposes the hair to the internal metabolic environment. This includes extracellular fluids, circulating blood and lymph. As the hair reaches the surface of the skin, the outer layer hardens, which locks in the metabolic products accumulated during this period of hair formation. By analyzing the mineral and heavy metal content in the hair sample, we are able to infer information about tissues throughout the rest of the body.
HTMA provides us with a window into the tissues and cells that we wouldn't be able to see otherwise, not even in blood work as blood work is only reflective of what is being transported at that exact moment in time.
WHAT IT MEASURES
HTMA gives a deeper understanding of your health, paving the way for lasting well-being and vitality. It measures the levels of 35 minerals and toxic metals at the cellular level and gives insights into your:
- Mineral Levels
- Heavy Metals Presence
- Stage of Stress
- Nervous System State
- Thyroid & Adrenal Function
- Blood Sugar Regulation and Carb Tolerance
- Hormone Imbalances
- Liver & Detox Function
- Digestive Function
- Metabolic Rate
WHO WE SUPPORT
- Individuals who are chronically ill and looking to gain insights and education into the root cause of their chronic illnesses.
- Women seeking to reclaim their health and women looking to balance their hormones during their preconception and postpartum journey.
- Children who require a bio-individual approach to support their immune system.
- Athletes wanting to enhance their cellular health and vitality.
- High performing professionals looking to elevate their energy and perform to their full potential.
“It’s the relationship between minerals that determines how much energy you will have”
