- Functional Lab Test:
You will receive a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test that you will do at home and then send to the lab. This non-evasive functional lab test will reveal your mineral levels and exposure to heavy metals. Once I have received your results we will go over them in a 1-hour consultation I will then provide supplement recommendations, lifestyle changes, and diet tweaks.
You're probably wondering, my hair? How much needs to be cut off? You will cut the first inch to one-half of the hair growth closest to the scalp of the nape of the neck in 3-4 different spots. I promise you it's NOT noticeable and you won't even be able to tell! You will receive more instructions once you've signed up.
- What the Test Reveals:
The test reveals your mineral levels, giving us insight into your stress levels, blood sugar, adrenals, and thyroid. Minerals are the “spark plugs” in our bodies that provide us with what we need in order for our bodies to function properly. This test can be very validating for people's symptoms because it gets to the root cause of what's causing them, which could be a mineral imbalance. If you are experiencing low energy, afternoon slumps daily, skin issues, stress, anxiety, etc. then this test is what you need!
Do you feel stressed about what you need to eat to feel full, energized, and overall healthy? Then this test reveals that for you! The test will show us whether you're in a slow or fast metabolism, which then tells us if you need to eat more protein and less carbs, more fats and proteins, etc. to feel your best and get the most out of what you are eating on the daily. Your metabolism will reveal a lot to us about your stress levels and whether or not you are eating enough to keep stress and anxiety at bay as well as to keep your energy up.
The best thing about this test is that it provides you insight into what's been going on in your body for the last 3-4 months rather than just in the moment. If you were to take a blood test, it's more expensive and it only gives you results for that day since it's always trying to keep a state of homeostasis.
Hair is one of the many types of tissues in the body where heavy minerals are deposited, therefore it's able to give us about 3 months' worth of information. The mineral content in hair is 10x of blood, providing us with an insight into the metabolic process within our cells.
Throughout 4-months you will have me as your coach keeping you accountable and encouraging you along the way through four 1-hour coaching calls as well as unlimited communication via email!
- Results:
I have helped my clients go from waking up every morning feeling anxious for the day to having no anxiety or little to none because we balanced their minerals and made diet tweaks. One of the main things I have also helped my clients with is how to manage their stress. We take a deeper look into their lifestyle and I provide recommendations that will help reduce their stress, and help their body feel more at peace and that it's able to calm down. My clients have gone from feeling super hungry all the time while also hitting an afternoon slump to feeling full and energized! This involves a simple diet change as well as supplement recommendations. Whatever it is you need, I know we can get to the bottom of it!
