Are You Menstrual?
How To Assess Stress On An HTMA
In this episode, I am covering how to use hair tissue mineral analysis or HTMA to assess your stress. This is one of the most valuable parts of the test, in my opinion. You get to understand what stage of stress you are in and why you may or may not be handling stress well. For most people, it is a big eye opener and something that can finally lead to confronting your stress and making lifestyle changes. If you are interested in how you can learn more about your thyroid from an HTMA, please listen to the previous episode where I covered this in detail.
As always, this episode is for informational purposes only. Please talk with your healthcare provider before making any changes.
This episode covers:
- The difference between high and low mineral levels
- Three stages of stress and how to identify them on an HTMA
- How sodium and magnesium levels are helpful for understanding your stress
- Two key ratios, and what a high or low ratio means on an HTMA
