Hair Analysis
Hair Analysis
The HTMA is an invaluable screening tool which allows a correct program of diet and supplementation to be designed for each individual's specific needs. Hair analysis tests intracellular minerals which are an indication of how effectively the hormones are delivering their messages at the cellular level (an indication of receptor sensitivity and cellular responsiveness).
A hair analysis is a screening test used to evaluate levels of overall health, health trends, and of how a patient is managing lifestyle stressors. Specifically a hair analysis can tell us about:
* metabolic rate
* stage of stress
* immune function
* adrenal activity
* thyroid activity
* hormonal imbalances
* cardiovascular risk
* digestive health
* carbohydrate/sugar handling
* protein intake and usage.
It is important to understand that:
* bound hormone levels (serum bound test)
* free hormone levels (saliva free fraction test)
* metabolized hormones (urine test)
* receptor sensitivity and cellular response (hair analysis)
...all represent different methods used by the body to maintain control and balance over its biochemical messengers as they move through the system.
