Hair Mineral Analysis for Health Practitioners

 

This course is designed to make Hair Mineral Analysis an integral part of your clinic practice

Having began my journey with Hair Analysis in 2013 when it changed my son's and my life forever, I have used this test with 99% of my clinic clients. Having done thousands of Hair Analyses, I have seen several key patterns emerge that have simplified my treatment protocols and have generated amazing patient outcomes. I'm sharing my knowledge here with you as I believe in today's increasingly stressful and toxic world, this is an essential tool in your practice.

From this course, you will get a level of proficiency that will allow you to learn how to get at least 10 fundamental insights into your clients' health by taking a 2 second look at a hair analysis chart.

I have built a multi SIX FIGURE ONLINE practice using HTMA as a cornerstone of my clinic success and so can YOU!

Why use Hair Mineral Analysis in your clinic?

  • Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) tests show changes in the body's physiology much earlier than blood tests can
  • HTMA shows us dysfunction when all bloods look 'normal'
  • Understanding the minerals patterns helps us understand the patient's stress levels/adrenal function, thyroid function, mental health and mood, immune system, blood glucose regulation and heavy metal toxicity plus much more
  • HTMA ensures high levels of compliance from patients as they can quickly see the changes in their health from targeted nutritional balancing programs devised from HTMA. Repeat testing provides excellent visual feedback on their efforts
  • The depth of knowledge gained from HTMA is far greater than other tests- you can see this demonstrated in my quick video example below

    “I have just finished Maria’s course and I was blow away by the content and the knowledge around the Hair tissue Mineral Test. This has totally changed my perspective when treating my clients and I will be utilising it with every client. Maria has provided me with the confidence to interpret the test and provide a comprehensive treatment plan. Thank you Maria for a wonderful course”

    “I have been using the HTMA in clinic for just over a year now with great results, however, since completing the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis for Practitioners course I feel that I have received additional insights that will allow me to have the clarity and confidence I need to be able to use this test to its full potential.

    After completing this course I can see how the HTMA can be one of the most valuable clinical tools to help uncover what is happening on a deeper level.

    Maria has presented the information in a clear, easy to understand manner. She has been incredibly generous with the amount of knowledge she has shared and I will continue to get value from this course as I use HTMA in clinic more and more.

    Throughout the course, Maria has shared how to interpret the results based on your patients presenting issues and how to determine if a mineral excess is a true excess or a loss. I also found the information and "cheat sheets" on the key characteristics of the metabolic types to be very helpful.

    Maria has shared several detailed treatment protocols and how to tailor these protocols to your patients individual needs. In addition to this I now feel more confident in my ability to detect "hidden" heavy metal toxicity and how to assist patients in detoxing these toxicities gently and safely.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed this course and I highly recommend this to any practitioner who is already using HTMA in clinic or to any practitioner that is looking to add HTMA to their toolbox.

    Thank you Maria for creating this course, I will look forward to what you have to share in the future”

MY STORY

I'm a fully qualified Nutritionist (Adv.Dip Nutritional Medicine) and a certified/registered member of ATMS (Australian Traditional Medicine Society), in clinic practice since 2013, trained in all modes of Functional Medicine testing, including gastrointestinal testing and analysis, microbiome management, thyroid and hormonal testing and treatment and toxicity assessment and treatment and of course, Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA).

I undertake regular post graduate training in diverse medicine and nutrition areas to ensure I have the latest knowledge and protocols. My passion is to help individuals and their families find a truly healthy life through eating real food, improving their lifestyle, addressing gut and mood issues, metabolic issues, through understanding body systems and genetics.

Having personal experience with numerous health conditions makes all the difference

What makes my approach to holistic healthcare unique is the fact that I have personally experienced numerous, often debilitating health conditions throughout my life. This helps me in my nutrition clinic daily in numerous ways: to truly relate and empathise with my patients, to be able to quickly identify potential underlying causes that others have missed and order the right functional tests and devise effective treatment plans.

Some of the conditions that I have personally dealt with during my health journey include: severe food intolerances and allergies, hay fever, sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome) and SIBO, gut dysbiosis and infections, Candida, Pyroluria, Gilbert’s Syndrome, MTHFR and numerous other unfavourable genetics, thyroid and hormonal dysregulation, depression and anxiety, adrenal fatigue and burnout, insomnia, weight gain and loss and many others. I also have an extensive understanding of autoimmune conditions such as MS (multiple sclerosis), diabetes and developmental issues in children through experience with family members.

All these areas have been the focus of my training (including post-graduate courses) and research.

What I think truly makes a difference and what I love to do with my patients is to put together the ‘puzzle pieces’ to form a real understanding of the TRUE CAUSES of their health issues. In my health journey I consulted numerous conventional and complimentary health practitioners along the way and to be honest never found somebody who really ‘gets it’ and can see through all the test results, symptoms, emotions and history and put it all together. I decided that I would become that practitioner and that is what I thrive on in my clinic work.

I fell in love with Hair Mineral Analysis early on in my career when I was trying to resolve my son's insomnia. Having seen a pile of heavy metals on his test as well as a really disregulated nervous system and having addressed that with nutrients to completely resolve his health issues within a few months has put me on a path of successfully utilising HTMA with my clients.

Common QUESTIONS and MYTHS answered

Q: Hair results for my patient are different to bloods. This makes me think the HTMA is not accurate.

Answer: I will cover this in detail in the course. HTMA examines a completely different set of parameters. Blood levels of minerals (and other markers) will be kept optimal by the body as narrow ranges of blood markers are vital for health. This will be done at the expense of tissue stores, leading to depletion that is often unseen. Blood is like the highway, hair is like a car park. They are all cars but very different locations and functions! Both bloods and hair are important tests to understand your client's health picture. HTMA is never a substitute for serology, it is an additional very detailed look at the body's mineral stores and metabolic patterns.

Myth: My patient's HTMA shows high levels of 'good' minerals. That means they have plenty of those and don't need supplementation.

Answer: Not always. It depends. On a few factors:). Often what looks 'high' is really a 'low' and this happens quite often. It's important to get this right and detective skills are required. I will teach you how do be an awesome detective in understanding what is happening with your clients' mineral profiles.

Q: When I get a HTMA result back I feel lost and don't know where to start

Answer: I will teach you what to focus on first and address the 'big' issues and then fine tune the rest. My extensive clinic examples, case studies and protocols will give you all the know how to handle any HTMA.
