13. What You Haven’t Been Told About Hair Mineral Testing & What’s Really Going On Beneath the Surface

What Your Minerals Are Trying to Tell You (And Why a Hair Test Might Just Be the Missing Link)

In this episode, we’re continuing our functional lab testing series with one of my absolute favorite tools: the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) test.

I know lab testing can feel a little overwhelming—especially when you’ve been told everything looks “normal” but you still don’t feel right. That’s where HTMA comes in.

We’re diving into: 🧠 How minerals influence everything—your metabolism, energy, stress response, and organ function 🌿 Why blood work isn’t always the whole picture (and why mineral testing goes deeper) 💥 What it means when symptoms show up on the surface—but the root cause is hiding underneath 🌸 How emotional and spiritual health tie into physical balance 📋 Real-life examples from clients who’ve used HTMA to get answers and finally feel like themselves again

I’m breaking it all down in simple, clear language—and sharing why this test is one of the most affordable, insightful ways to understand what your body’s really asking for. We also end the episode with a little blessing—because your words hold power, and I want this to be a space where you feel encouraged, equipped, and seen.

If you’ve been feeling off, stuck, or are just curious about what’s going on under the surface you are going to love this episode.Because healing isn’t just about treating symptoms—it’s about understanding the story your body is telling you.
