Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) *

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) *

Not sure where to go next in your Functional health journey? Not quite ready to dive into a full program? Minerals are a great place to explore!

Minerals are the spark plugs of the body and a KEY foundation of health. The HTMA* may be the missing piece to your puzzle. It was a big one for me!

With an in-depth look at your mineral status, we learn primally about the functioning of key metabolic organs — your thyroid (even if your thyroid labs have been coming back “normal”!) and adrenal glands. Both major energy drivers for the body.

Additionally, we learn about your body’s current state of stress and nervous system preference (fight-or-flight vs sedative), metabolic type (fast or slow), blood sugar, heavy metals, macronutrients that are most supportive TO YOU, and more — with info about digestion** and liver function sprinkled in too.

Mineral imbalance, leads to so many unwanted symptoms:

  • anxiety and depression

  • fatigue / loss of stamina

  • brain fog

  • constipation, diarrhea, bloating

  • anger and aggressiveness

  • low thyroid function

  • significant, unexplained weight gain

  • hair loss

  • hormonal imbalances

  • and more!

The protocol is simple, bio-individual, tailored to you, and incorporates impactful food and lifestyle changes to best to support your body in this season.

There’s so much to unpack here, so buckle up and get excited about finally having answers + a roadmap to a more balanced, better functioning body.

*The HTMA is not a diagnostic test and is for informational purposes only. FNTP’s do not diagnose, treat or cure disease but we do look at things from a root cause perspective and provide strategic guidance to help get your body back on track

**The HTMA gives us only one piece of the puzzle. If you have many glaring concerns, check out my 1:1 program so we can look at things more in-depth and work side by side to tackle your symptoms

A Few HTMA Testimonials

  • Autumn's perspective and insight were so refreshing relative to the typical approach I have received from my family doctor for many years. If he cannot prescribe a medication for it or does not understand a root cause, he sends me to a specialist who normally just has a wider range of medications to prescribe. Autumn searches for root causes that may simply be addressed through lifestyle and diet for permanent changes and solutions not just treatment of symptoms. The mineral analysis was very helpful. One of my doctors was intrigued and asked for a copy so that he could understand the value of the tests. Autumn's analysis helped me adjust my supplements, diet, and some basic aspects of my lifestyle which have already in a short time begun to result in benefits. Thanks Autumn for a fresh and natural perspective.

    -Glenn

  • It was really amazing to know more about my body through the HTMA. Certain foods that I was avoiding were actually what my body needed. With my results and what I learned with Autumn has encouraged me to keep going and it has most definitely been a huge stepping stone towards feeling better. I feel more confident in the way that I eat now and not ashamed for nurturing my body the way it needs to be. Thank you Autumn!!!

    -Susana

  • The HTMA opened my eyes to some “small” things that contributed to the big problems I was having. I don’t think I would have realized why I was struggling/ what exactly I was struggling with if it hadn’t been for Autumn and the HTMA test. It’s a very simple test that goes way more in depth than you think. Plus, I enjoyed that it was non-invasive, and it wasn’t required that a doctor complete it. I got to choose who I worked with. Glad it was Autumn! Food heals all. Micronutrients are often overlooked because of the “micro” part, but they are SO important and shouldn’t be forgotten… I am glad to be on my way to some happy, healthy changes.

    -Logan

  • I truly believe signing up to do the HTMA with Autumn is LIFE changing! As someone who has struggled with digestive issues, bloating, food sensitivities, etc. my entire life, I could not be more thankful that I discovered Autumn and her services. She is so extremely knowledgeable and beyond willing to help you get to the bottom of your gut issues. Using the HTMA test to help uncover the underlying issues of what I had been feeling was just the beginning. Autumn will go over all of the results with you and explain in detail what they mean. She will then provide you with a plan of action to follow along with her recommendations. I honestly can’t say enough about the support and relief I have felt since working with Autumn. I will be forever grateful I found her and this test!

    -Kayla

  • Autumn is such a wealth of knowledge. She did my hair mineral analysis and I can’t recommend her enough. Investing in yourself will NEVER not pay off. And my time with her certainly paid off.

Here we see the client is both in a fight-or-flight dominant state and exhausted. Mineral levels are not optimal (optimal is the purple line in the middle of the white area of “nutritional elements” section). There are indicators here of low stomach acid and low iodine. We see also some toxic elements present, with mercury being the biggest concern.

 

Here we focus on the mineral ratios in the purple section, as each of these gives us more information on symptoms and how the body is functioning. Minerals have synergistic and antagonistic relationships and when out of balance, lead to unwanted symptoms like: water retention, anxiety, depression, fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, anger, aggressiveness, loss of stamina, low thyroid function, hair loss, hormonal imbalances, increased susceptibility to infection, and more!
