The perfect introduction to hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA), this course covers the basics of how hair samples are screened for mineral and toxic-metal levels. You’ll learn about the importance of minerals in the body and why HTMA provides such a good window into an individual’s mineral metabolism and overall health. We also share why hair is an effective biopsy material, the difference between hair tests and bloods tests, and the concept of metabolic patterns. Finally, students will explore the three types of oxidation rates, their associated characteristics, and why they matter.

An introductory dive into hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA), this course outlines the role this revelatory screening test plays in assessing mineral patterns, toxic-metal exposure, and overall health. Requiring just a small sample of hair, this non-invasive procedure measures mineral and toxic-metal levels in the hair, which reflect what’s happening in the body, including long-term metabolic activity and mineral imbalances. You’ll walk away with a solid understanding of the importance of mineral metabolism and its impact on our health.

Macrominerals — those minerals the body requires in larger amounts (versus microminerals) — serve a crucial role in keeping us healthy and balanced. Here, we’ll study four of them — calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium — and discuss their relevance in hair analysis.

A mineral imbalance can lead to chronic illness and other health issues. So the importance of mineral balancing is critical to overall health. This course covers common signs and symptoms of a mineral imbalance and the six key methods for reversing it, including hair tissue mineral analysis, detox protocols, lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, and more.
