What is HTMA?

The invaluable HTMA test is the most recent addition to Finding Ground's Product Suite! I'm SO excited to be able to offer this test. I had this test done a few years ago, and it changed everything, I suddenly had so much insight into these core parts of me that I had never even thought about before. I highly recommend it! 

HTMA stands for Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. It is a soft-tissue mineral biopsy that provides a reading of the mineral deposition in the cells and interstitial spaces of the hair over a 2-3 month period. 

Since hair is a tissue, what we find in the hair also applies to the rest of the body. 

It is a non-invasive, cost-effective functional lab testing option with BIG return on investment. 

Here's a wonderful quote about the power of the HTMA test: 

“HTMA shows how the body’s energy system is out of balance and how to use nutrition and diet to correct it. Once the body’s energy and stamina are restored, it can heal other problems on its own.” - Edward Gogek, MD 

HTMA shows you: 

• What is happening on a deep cellular level in your body:
• Ratios of minerals in the body.
• Levels of toxic heavy metals in the body.
• Your unique metabolic rate
• Stage of stress and stress levels
• Adrenal and thyroid activity
• Insight into your hormone function
• Energy levels
• Tendencies for 30+ illnesses, before they manifest
• Personality insights

Why Minerals? 

• Minerals are the energy system of our body. They are needed for thousands of enzyme reactions throughout the body. Literally, nothing can happen without minerals.
• Our soils are depleted of minerals (due to decades of unhealthy farming practices), so foods that should be mineral rich, aren’t.
• Minerals transfer nutrients across cell membranes; nothing enters your cells without minerals.
• They help maintain pH balance and homeostasis in the body
• Important for nerve transmission
• Can only be obtained through food/supplements (the body cannot produce them). 

HTMA is for you if...

• Your stress has been through the roof and your old relaxation techniques just aren’t cutting it. It feels like something deeper.
• You are bloated, constipated, and/or have diarrhea.
• You’re tired after meals.
• It is incredibly difficult to lose or gain weight, if you want to
• You have low energy and fatigue.
• Other labs have come back normal, but you still don’t feel well.
• You have a gut feeling something is off. You know you should feel better than this but you don’t know where to start.
