Mineral imbalances are at the root of many chronic health concerns. These imbalances can typically be detected through Hair Analysis months or even years before they may appear in blood. HTMA offers a powerful screening tool for the body’s endocrine system, thyroid expression, adrenal status, energy issues, clues into digestive disorders, (preventative) cardiovascular and musculoskeletal markers, one’s stress response, depression, anxiety, and more.
There are many forms of “hair analysis” on the market today, many of which are NOT based on the science of nutritional balancing which was developed in the 1970s & 80s by Drs Eck and Watts. They were the ones who established the ideal reference ranges for minerals in hair and how mineral levels and corresponding ratios relate to health conditions. Eck and Watts were the founders of the ARL and TEI labs respectively, which today remain the top 2 labs globally that specialize in this test and follow all proper testing protocol. Rick works with the Trace Elements lab (TEI), which uses ICP Mass Spectrometry (the most modern and expensive analytical technique for routine elemental analysis, and which adheres to the highest standards of quality control.
HTMA remains the primary test of choice by the US Environmental Protection Agency for detecting heavy metals in the body, and provides a valuable roadmap for dietary guidance, safe detox, and optimizing health.
