Often people get their hair test mineral analysis back from the lab and they will look at page one,  where all the individual minerals are listed and see that an individual mineral is high or low and then think to start taking minerals or cut minerals out of their diet and supplement regime based on the single minerals listed.

While this might not be wrong this isn’t a helpful way to approach your results or body’s needs for healing.

Minerals work in a relationship!

Relationships between minerals are expressed as ratios. These ratios are super important when it comes to balancing body systems and addressing your energy, hormone imbalance, nutrition needs, and creating a plan to heal. 
 

When considering the information collected as part of your hair mineral analysis, both ratios and the individual minerals are collectively considered for patterns.

Homeostasis is the relationship between mineral levels. The body is always in a state of dynamic equilibrium, homeostasis, and seeks to maintain this balance. 

Mineral ratios on HTMA testing results give us the best information about potential imbalances. And to determine the best course of action for your body to balance and heal.

By analyzing specific key ratios, we are able to make the most accurate assumptions about potential imbalances and how they affect the body’s energy systems, adrenals, thyroid, and citric acid cycle.
