Honestly, I feel that everyone, especially every woman, should take this test. Women have a high chance of having copper toxicity, and this test can help uncover that. This is the best valued functional lab test, and it provides a ton of data to provide answers to why you’ve been feeling the way you have. 

My core focus is helping women heal from migraines, but I have also helped women heal from PMDD, anxiety, depression, PMS, brain fog, and fatigue.  

I have clients all over the US and Canada, and, in fact, I don’t have any local clients. Everything is done virtually over Zoom and email.

If you mail your test in as soon as you get it, we should be able to have our results & recommendations call 3-4 weeks after investing in the program. It all depends on how quickly you mail your sample in, how long the lab takes to test (they say 5-12 business days but usually it’s not the full 12), and when I will finish my analysis and written report after receiving results. 

While you are waiting for the results, however, you will have a bunch of things that you can get started with that will ultimately prime the body for the customized recommendations that I provide you. So your path to healing actually begins as soon as you purchase.

It’s ideal to wait about 8 weeks after coloring your hair to run the test. However, you can run it after only 3 weeks if you desire.

No, the value of the HTMA testing package is actually in the interpretation. An HTMA test is not something that you can just look at for face value. For example, some minerals may show as elevated on the test but that actually can mean that there is a loss there. Additionally, something like copper toxicity may not be as apparent on the test. The reason for this is that copper can often show up as “deficient” on the results but there are 12 other factors that can indicate that copper toxicity is present. 

Additionally, there are specific protocols that should be followed based on your metabolism and your individual results. If you do not follow the correct protocol, you could actually make your symptoms worse. I’ve seen a lot of people who are not trained telling people to take incorrect supplements, and that can end up leading you down the wrong path. 

I am trained in how to read the HTMA and know how to determine what imbalances to look for and what protocols to suggest. When you invest in this program, you can have confidence that you have an expert on your side. 

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to my health, my time, and my symptoms, knowing that I am on the fastest path to healing is worth the investment. 

It depends on what lab you ordered the test from and how long it’s been since you were tested.  The only labs I will analyze are Analytical Research and Trace Elements. Most other labs wash the hair sample which skews the results.

A hair test provides the most accurate read of mineral balances and heavy metals in the body. The reason for this is that it’s an average of your levels over a 3-month period. 

A blood or urine test only provides a snapshot of time.  So, for example, you could eat a banana before a blood test and your potassium levels could end up showing up normal or elevated on that test. However, potassium is often the first mineral to be depleted over the long term, so, if you’re dealing with symptoms, you likely have a potassium deficiency. 

Blood and urine tests often don’t show true deficiencies until the minerals have been lost for a very long time, and then it takes a long time to heal from those. 

And as you can see from above, the HTMA also provides a TON of insight into the overall health of multiple systems in the body. 

Not specifically, but in the words of the late author and noted researcher, Dr. Henry Schroeder, trace elements (minerals) are “…more important factors in human nutrition than vitamins. The body can manufacture many vitamins, but it cannot produce necessary trace minerals or get rid of many possible excesses.”

If you have been tested for your Vitamin D levels, which is pretty common, and it shows up low…that actually tells you a lot. Because Vitamin D is often lost after several other very important minerals have been lost, such as potassium, magnesium, boron, lithium, and more. And the best way to raise vitamin D is to raise all of these key minerals.

There are many factors to take into consideration, such as: 

• Diet – Improper diet through high intake of refined and processed foods, alcohol and fad diets can all lead to a chemical imbalance. Even the nutrient content of a “healthy” diet can be inadequate, depending upon the soil in which the food was grown or the method in which it was prepared. 

• Stress – Physical or emotional stress can deplete the body of many nutrients while also reducing the capability to absorb and utilize many nutrients. 

• Medications – Both prescription and over-the-counter medications can deplete the body stores of nutrient minerals and/or increase the levels of toxic metals. These medications include diuretics, antacids, aspirin, and oral contraceptives. 

• Pollution – From adolescence through adulthood the average person is continually exposed to a variety of toxic metal sources such as cigarette smoke (cadmium), hair dyes (lead), hydrogenated oils (nickel), antiperspirants (aluminum), dental amalgams (mercury and cadmium), copper and aluminum cookware and lead-based cosmetics. These are just a few of the hundreds of sources that can contribute to nutrient imbalances and adverse metabolic effects. 

• Nutritional Supplements – Taking incorrect supplements or improper amounts of supplements can produce many vitamin and mineral excesses and/or deficiencies, contributing to an overall biochemical imbalance. 

• Inherited Patterns – A predisposition toward certain mineral imbalances, deficiencies and excesses can be inherited from parents.
