Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, HTMA
WHAT IS HAIR ANALYSIS?
HAIR ANALYSIS TAKES OUT THE GUESS WORK SO YOU WILL KNOW HOW TO BETTER SUPPORT YOUR BODY TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH AND FERTILITY.
- Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis is an extremely valuable tool that determines the level of minerals and toxic metals present in hair tissue. Mineral deficiencies and excess can cause dysfunction, compromising health and fertility.
- Hair analysis can help identify patterns associated with stress, blood sugar dysregulation, thyroid and adrenal dysfunction, protein metabolism, and digestive dysfunction. Every one of these issues can lead to hormonal imbalance, and reduced vitality.
HAIR ANALYSIS IS AN EXTREMELY ACCURATE TOOL AS IT REFLECTS THE INTRACELLULAR MINERAL CONTENT OF OUR BODIES.
- Over 95% of the minerals in our bodies are intracellular.
- Blood mineral levels are maintained at the expense of the tissue, making hair analysis often much more accurate than blood testing.
- HTMA will reveal your metabolic profile over the course of 2-3 months.
- HTMA tests levels of minerals such as: calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc, chromium, selenium, and phosphorous.
- Additional minerals and toxic metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and aluminum are also tested.
TOXIC METALS ARE VERY PROMINENT IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY AND PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN NEGATIVELY IMPACTING OUR HEALTH AND FERTILITY.

What is mineral balancing?
DID YOU KNOW...
- Vitamin D helps raise calcium levels. Supplementing vitamin D could actually increase already too high tissue calcium. Calcium alone hardens concrete. Imagine the impact of too much calcium in your body.
- Zinc interferes with copper absorption. Taking zinc alone for a prolonged period of time can lead to several various health conditions.
- Vitamin B2 speeds up metabolism, which lowers calcium, while vitamin B12 has the opposite effect.
- Iron supplementation can shut down ceruloplasmin and cause magnesium loss.
- Magnesium can slow down adrenal function and lower sodium, leading to more adrenal fatigue.
- Zinc lowers sodium, which can also lead to adrenal fatigue and digestive issues.
- Vitamin C speeds up adrenal function, which can lead to calcium loss.
AND THIS JUST BARELY SCRATCHES THE SURFACE OF THE EXTREMELY DELICATE MINERAL BALANCE...
This is why the HTMA is such an excellent tool in providing the answers we need to tailor a specific plan on your journey to improved health and fertility.
Minerals are necessary for life and health. Without minerals, our bodies simply cannot function.
balancing minerals
Why do minerals need to be balanced?
IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THE RATIOS OF SPECIFIC MINERALS AND WHY THEY MATTER:
- Sodium to Potassium is important for determining vitality and adrenal efficiency.
- Calcium to Potassium is indicative of thyroid health.
- Calcium to Magnesium is important for blood sugar regulation.
- Calcium to Phosphorous reveals the body's ability to synthesize protein.
- Zinc to Copper reveals hormonal balance and energy regulation.
- Sodium to Magnesium can reflect chronic or acute stress levels.
