Before test don't guess
After 10+ years of monthly, debilitating endometriosis pain, I discovered that I was dealing with a severe magnesium deficiency. Through supplementation, I went from writhing in pain every month to barely experiencing a cramp. It was unbelievable!
So, when I became an FNTP and heard about mineral testing using hair, I naturally dove in head first (pun intended!)
I quickly went from 0 to 30 paying clients in less than 2 months after incorporating Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis into my own practice as a brand new practitioner! I was shocked at the impact this test had on my practice, and my clients.
If you're anything like me, you finished your nutrition or health coaching certification with plenty of theory, but no real way to see what was going on inside the person in front of you or to get paying clients.
My favorite part of teaching HTMA is watching students have that "aha" moment when we lay out exactly what the test can and can't tell us. It isn't diagnostic, but it's incredibly powerful when it's read properly. Minerals are the foundation everything else runs on, and HTMA gives you three months of real mineral data to use alongside your client's intake paperwork. And because it's the most affordable functional lab out there, it removes the cost barrier for many clients.
My mission is to help every functional practitioner run an HTMA on their clients as a baseline test, and to read it with confidence and integrity. When that happens, more people get real answers without spending a fortune. Practitioners also get to build practices that are profitable, simple, and fit around their life. That's what I'm here to do!
