1. Nutritional imbalances: HTMA can provide insights into the levels of essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and iron in the body. Imbalances in these minerals can indicate nutritional deficiencies or excesses, which can affect overall health and wellbeing.
2. Toxic metal exposure: HTMA can detect the presence of toxic heavy metals like lead, mercury, cadmium, and arsenic. These metals can accumulate in the body over time and have detrimental effects on various organs and systems. HTMA can help identify potential sources of exposure and guide detoxification protocols if necessary.
3. Adrenal and thyroid function: HTMA can provide information about the health of the adrenal glands and thyroid gland. Imbalances in minerals like sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium can indicate adrenal dysregulation or thyroid dysfunction, which can affect energy levels, metabolism, and overall hormonal balance.
4. Metabolic rate: HTMA can give insights into the body's metabolic rate by measuring the ratio of certain minerals. This can be helpful in understanding
metabolic tendencies such as slow or fast metabolism. This information can be useful in guiding dietary and lifestyle recommendations for weight management and overall metabolic health.
5. Stress levels and oxidative stress: HTMA can indicate the body's stress levels and oxidative stress by measuring the levels of certain minerals and their ratios. High levels of stress can deplete certain minerals and contribute to imbalances, which can have a negative impact on various bodily functions. HTMA can provide valuable information for managing stress and supporting the body's antioxidant defenses.
6. Digestive health: HTMA can offer insights into digestive health by assessing mineral absorption and utilization. Imbalances in minerals like zinc, copper, and magnesium can indicate issues with digestion and nutrient absorption, which can contribute to various gastrointestinal symptoms and nutrient deficiencies.
7. Overall health assessment: HTMA provides a comprehensive view of an individual's mineral status, which can serve as a valuable tool for assessing overall health and identifying potential underlying imbalances or deficiencies. By addressing these imbalances, individuals can optimize their nutritional status and support their body's natural healing processes.
It is important to note that HTMA is not a standalone diagnostic tool and should be used in conjunction with other clinical assessments and tests. It is best interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals who are trained in analysing and interpreting HTMA results. They can provide personalized recommendations for nutritional supplementation, dietary modifications, and lifestyle changes based on the individual's specific mineral imbalances and health goals.
In summary, the benefits of hair tissue mineral analysis include:
1. Detection of nutritional imbalances and deficiencies.
2. Identification of toxic heavy metal exposure.
3. Assessment of adrenal and thyroid function.
4. Evaluation of metabolic rate and tendencies.
5. Indication of stress levels and oxidative stress.
6. Insights into digestive health and nutrient absorption.
7. Overall assessment of health status.
8. Bone health when Boron level is checked
By understanding the mineral imbalances and levels in the body, individuals can take proactive steps to optimize their health, address deficiencies, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. HTMA can serve as a valuable tool in personalized healthcare and support individuals in achieving their wellness goals.
Below is an example of a client assessment
It's not rocket science to observe that this client was experiencing health challenges.
I offer HTMA analysis and dry blood analysis to identify what's truly going on in the body.
So often, clients tell me they feel rotten, had multiple tests and the GP can't find anything wrong, implies their problems are all in their head and offers antidepressant tablets.
The reason the GP can't find what's wrong is because they are looking in the wrong place. The doctor can only go on the symptoms you present with. They attempt to identify from their training, which medication to prescribe.
My methods are totally different. By having home test kits for blood and hair, my clients take their own samples and send them direct to the labs.
I receive a .pdf report which runs into several pages. This report, in conjunction with the blood analysis and other tests and conversations, identifies the root cause of the health challenge so that we can create a practical plan for recovery together.
