We live in an environment that is constantly bombarding our bodies with things like endocrine-disrupting ingredients in our makeup/personal care products, artificial additives and pesticides in food, polluted tap water, etc.

​

Our modern-day soil is depleted of key nutrients and not what it used to be. So even if you eat the most pure diet and live a clean lifestyle, many of us still deal with deficiencies or imbalances that can offset our normal bodily functions.

​

What is an HTMA? What health information can it tell you?

​HTMA is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis.  It is a functional lab test that uses a small amount of hair to evaluate the hair’s mineral and heavy metal content. This information is so valuable because it gives us roughly 3-4 months’ worth of cumulative data about what the body is being exposed to and eliminating. Hair is tested because it is one of many places in which the body eliminates minerals and heavy metals.

The HTMA results will show various nutritional elements and mineral levels in your body such as calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, copper, iron, zinc, selenium, and more. It even tests for heavy metal content such as aluminum, uranium, arsenic, mercury, and lead.

Essentially, minerals are the body’s “spark plugs” and are needed for millions of enzyme reactions throughout the body. They can tell us so much about what’s going on in the body.

Results can give us insight into our:

• Digestion

• Blood sugar balance

• Levels of toxic heavy metals

• Inflammation

• Thyroid function

• Stress response

• And much more!

​​

The test also gives you a Metabolic Type based on your results, which is almost a “metabolic blueprint” of how the body is responding to stress. It takes into account the ratios of minerals that work synergistically in the body as well.

What the HTMA Process Looks Like:

The whole process is straightforward and simple! Here’s a quick overview:​​

​

1. Decide on your Service Package 

2. Get an HTMA test kit from Michelle of Asira Medical.  This is when you’ll snip some hair and then return the kit to Michelle or Asira Medical.

3. Fill out a Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ), which takes roughly 45 minutes. This provides details about your family health history, stressors, sleep quality, symptoms, etc.

Based on individual results, you will receive lifestyle, diet, and supplement recommendations. You will be provided with a protocol targeted to your particular needs such as ways to

support metabolism, blood sugar, and adrenals. It is not so much about removing or restricting what you currently do, but more about what you can add to your current lifestyle to be more manageable and doable!

You will have a better grasp on your health and a good understanding of what your body actually needs at this point in time.
