HTMA Testing: Your Path to Optimized Minerals and Happy Hormones
You know what's been on top of everyone's requests lately? HTMA - Hair Test Mineral Analysis. I get asked all the time if I’ll run a test for someone and I totally get it! You can learn so much from labs like this, but I want to take a moment to explain why I don't simply run labs without considering the bigger picture.
I'm constantly bombarded with questions like, "Can you review my blood work?" or "Can I do XYZ test?" But here's the thing: labs are just a small piece of the puzzle when it comes to healing. However, out of all the lab tests I've encountered, I genuinely believe that every single person can benefit from an HTMA.
Not everyone needs to do a Dutch panel or a GMAT. Don't get me wrong, those tests are fantastic, and I use them frequently. However, an HTMA has broad applications and benefits for absolutely everyone because it shows you exactly where your body needs the most support right now.
That said, while labs can provide guidance on your current state, true healing involves adopting healthy habits and making lifestyle changes. It's about implementing protocols and building strong foundations to support your journey to wellness. So, I feel like I'd be doing you a disservice by simply looking at a lab result and prescribing a solution without addressing the bigger picture.
That's why I have a policy in place where I only run labs for my clients in specific programs. Why? Because I know these individuals have already established their foundations, and I've personally guided them through the process. I've gotten to know them, and together we can piece together their health puzzle.
Now, I want to address the struggle I've had with this issue because I genuinely see so many benefits in people undergoing HTMA tests. If you've listened to the podcast episode where we go over my co-coach, Kaitlin's, labs, you're probably already aware of the wonders of hair mineral analysis.
This is why an HTMA is so beneficial.
HTMA testing allows us to see a unique perspective. When you run a blood test, for example, it doesn’t always show you the full picture because our blood is constantly striving for homeostasis. This means it often pulls or pushes minerals into our tissues to maintain that balance, so your blood test may give you results that aren’t showing what’s really going on inside your body. That means HTMA can provide insights before we can observe them in a blood test! It's like a preventative measure that we all want to be part of.
Minerals hold the key to understanding your body and overall health.
If you're struggling with weight loss, experiencing PMS, or battling digestion issues, guess where I start? Minerals! They have a direct impact on our stomach acid and reveal essential ratios that shed light on how well our body utilizes thyroid hormone and manages blood sugar. They inform us about our metabolism, adrenal health, and even the cellular vitality of our bodies. The HTMA is remarkable because it unveils the intricate connection between minerals and our hormones. They're the spark plugs and building blocks our bodies need to function optimally!
Let me give you an example. Say you've been diligently taking magnesium supplements, but you haven't noticed a significant difference. This is where HTMA becomes invaluable. It might reveal that you're actually low in potassium, which is crucial for utilizing magnesium effectively. And let's not forget about the controversial topic of vitamin D supplementation. Here's the deal: I can count on one hand the number of times I've recommended vitamin D supplementation alone. Why? Because you need co-factors like magnesium, vitamin B6, and boron to absorb and utilize vitamin D properly. It's not just about looking at a single blood test or thinking, "I don't get much sun, so I'll pop a vitamin D pill." We need to examine the entire picture to ensure you're getting the results you desire.
Context is Key.
So, you see, my reluctance to run standalone labs is rooted in my belief that treating the lab results alone won't give you the comprehensive solution you're seeking. It's about addressing the whole person, considering their unique circumstances, and working together to build a solid foundation for lasting health.
If you're seeking hormonal balance and overall well-being, HTMA testing can be a transformative tool.
By understanding your body's mineral status, you gain valuable insights into what influences your hormonal health. HTMA testing allows us to address imbalances at their root, leading to more sustainable and long-lasting results.
With HTMA testing, we can analyze your unique mineral composition and develop customized protocols to restore hormonal balance. By understanding your HTMA results, we can pinpoint mineral deficiencies or excesses and create strategies to address them. This may involve targeted supplements, dietary adjustments, lifestyle changes, and stress management techniques. The personalized nature of HTMA testing allows for a holistic approach that tackles the underlying causes of hormonal imbalances.
Introducing Mineral Magic
Okay, I know, I just said I won’t evaluate individual labs, but then went on and on about how beneficial this particular lab is. And I know there are so many people who want more support but aren't ready to commit to the Hormone Reset Premium Access just yet. Maybe you're unsure about it or feel like you already have a decent handle on your health, but still want to learn more.
I totally get it! You might be in that in-between space where you want a hair mineral analysis (HTMA) but don't feel like you need the full Premium Access program.
Well, I've come up with something just for you! It's called Mineral Magic, and it's all about minerals - those spark plugs for your body. This program will provide you with the training you need, delivered at your own pace. You'll learn about important basics that apply no matter what your HTMA results may be. We'll dive deep into topics like blood sugar balance, understanding your cycle from a health standpoint, stress management, and the importance of supporting your liver.
Here's How It Works.
You'll receive comprehensive training modules that cover all the essential foundations. But here's the twist - before we send out your HTMA kit, we'll have a quiz for you to complete. This is to ensure that you've grasped the foundations and are ready to make the most of your HTMA results. Once you've aced the quiz (don’t worry - if you paid attention to the program content, the quiz will be simple!), we'll send you the HTMA kit. You'll take a hair sample and send it to the lab. They'll analyze it, and when I receive the report, I’ll create a detailed video analysis session and dive deep into your HTMA results, considering your symptoms and lifestyle. You'll receive a personalized protocol that includes supplements, specific foods to focus on, and lifestyle recommendations to support your health journey.
Then, you'll have a week to email any questions you have about your test and protocol. We want to make sure you feel supported every step of the way. This program is designed to give you not only the HTMA analysis you've been longing for but also step-by-step guidance and knowledge that you can carry with you for lasting change because that’s the important part – we need to work with you in the context of your whole life, not just the numbers we see on a lab report.
Now, Mineral Magic is priced at $1,000, which covers the HTMA test, the training modules, the video analysis, and the personalized protocol. You can choose to break the payment into two installments of $500 each. And here's the exciting part: if you decide later that you want to dive deeper into hormones and join Premium Access, the money you already invested in Mineral Magic will be deducted from the HRP cost. It's like getting a $1,000 discount on Premium Access!
