Why you need a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Test

BENEFITS OF A HTMA

This test gives us a vast amount of information about your unique biochemistry by testing the body's mineral and toxicity levels and assessing mineral ratios.

WHAT CAN A HTMA TELL US

The HTMA is a simple non invasive test that tells us about:

• Thyroid function

• How fast your metabolism is

• How adrenal hormones (cortisol) are functioning

• The nervous system

• Blood sugar regulation

• Stomach acid and digestion

• Inflammation

• The immune system and the body’s ability to detox

• Hormones relating to PCOS and female fertility/menstruation

From here we can create a personalised protocol using food, supplements, lifestyle factors and more to bring balance back to the body.

Clients often see;

• An increase in energy

• Better sleep

• Weight loss becomes easier

• Better digestion

• Less brain fog

WHY WE TEST HAIR

Hair shows us what is happening inside the cell. So we can determine if things that are in the blood are actually getting into the cell and having the effect they should be having.

Our blood will always try to keep homeostasis (‘balance’) to keep us alive. Therefore blood is a snapshot of what is happening in the body at the moment, not at a cellular level.

IMPORTANCE OF MINERALS

This test also shows us the relationship between certain minerals - this is important because some minerals compete with others for absorption and if one becomes too high in relation to the other, it causes issues within the body.

Balance is key!
