Why we LOVE HTMA and use it with every client?
Are you struggling with any of the following?
- Low Energy
- Imbalanced hormones
- Mood issues
- Gut issues
- Fertility issues
- Sleep issues
Have you been to the doctor, only to be told everything is normal?
Have you investigated your minerals? Minerals are your spark plugs and are the foundation of your health. We often find mineral imbalances (excess and deficiencies) can be the root cause of many health issues.
We feel that HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) is one of the most powerful diagnostic tests available to practitioners as it gives you a blueprint to start a journey to optimal health.
What is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis?
It is a safe non-invasive test that provides information on more than 35 nutrients and toxic minerals, and over 25 important mineral ratios.
A HTMA test can show how your body:
- Utilises nutrients – are you severely depleted in mineral or is your body lacking the ability to make them bioavailable?
- Helps determine the effects that stress has on the body – are you burning through minerals under stress?
- Gives an indication of how your diet is fueling your body
- Looks at gut absorption. Do you have enough stomach acid to break down and digest food?
- Indicates how well your thyroid and adrenals are performing
- Indicates how strong your metabolism is (all systems in the body working together)
- Indicates whether your body is compromised by heavy metals
Why are minerals so important?
Minerals are important for growth and development, vitality, healing and immune system function. They are needed for structural support e.g. Calcium is needed for strong bones and teeth. They are needed for to maintain pH in the body e.g. Sodium and Potassium. They are also needed for enzyme reactions, energy and nerve activity. Minerals are essentially your “spark plugs”.
Minerals are not made in the body; they are absorbed from the food we eat. Unfortunately, in the modern world in which we live in, it is very difficult to achieve the balance we need. Modern farming techniques, the use of glyphosate or other pesticides on our fruit and vegetables and depletion of soils due to over farming all reducing the mineral content in our food. Toxins we are exposed to in our environment, food additives and preservatives, and the stress of modern living contribute to our mineral imbalance.
To restore mineral balance, we take a whole body approach so that all systems and pathways are working together to achieve optimal health. We often need to work on energy pathways first, to be able to push minerals out of the tissue. This relies on optimal adrenal and thyroid health and a robust strong digestive capacity.
If you are interested in understanding your own mineral status, have a health issue or just want to be proactive with your health to live a long healthy life, order a HTMA test today.
