In this segment, the speaker outlines the process and purpose of hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) as a tool for identifying mineral imbalances and heavy metal exposure. A small sample of hair taken close to the scalp is sent to a laboratory, which returns a detailed graph showing mineral and heavy metal levels. The focus is on minerals, as correcting these through personalized supplementation—often involving specific B‑vitamin protocols—can improve health. Because the body’s chemistry shifts with stress and lifestyle, repeat HTMA tests are performed every three to four months to adjust the supplement program. The approach emphasizes that 80% of health outcomes stem from lifestyle choices, and by using the hair test results, practitioners can eliminate guesswork and provide targeted nutrients and lifestyle recommendations tailored to each individual’s unique chemistry.

How do you get rid of all that copper if that's in fact what the problem is? We use a hair tissue mineral analysis. And so you send a little bit of hair, not all of your hair, it's just a little bit. Yeah, a little. Close to the scalp. Yeah, close to the scalp. And we send it into a lab and the lab prints us off a beautiful graph that shows us what the minerals are in your hair and also the heavy metals. We're more interested in the minerals because if you balance the minerals and we balance them according to your hair test. So some people need— some people will need B vitamins and there's others too, but B vitamins in a certain order, in a certain amount. And so we give those and that can help other people. They don't need that. It just depends on their their balance in their hair. So we balance their minerals based off the hair test and we get repeat tests because our body does change. We're always changing with stress or with whatever's going on in our life. And we have different layers in our body, meaning like the first hair test is like what we're seeing right now. It gives us like a 3-month timeline of a blueprint of what's been going on in your body the last 3 months. And so like 3 to 4 months, we'll get another test and it can look completely different and you might need a whole new program. It's mainly foods. We do it with your lifestyle. I mean, you know, 80% of our lifestyle is really what our— how we either we're going to be healthy or not. So lifestyle, minerals that are specifically for your body chemistry. Like Eva was saying, we take the guesswork out. It's that when we see what you need, we can give your body exactly what it needs.
