Hi Friends!

Do you feel completely drained after a workout, off in your body, or stuck in a health loop that nothing seems to fix? Your blood work comes back fine, but you sure as hell don't feel that way. This episode dives deep into the life-changing power of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and how it helped me reclaim my energy, balance my hormones, and feel at home in my body again.

I’m joined with my co-host Valentina Bain — Certified Epigenetic Coach, Somatic Therapist, and my go-to wellness wizard — to break down everything you need to know about HTMA. From how the test works (yes, it involves a small hair sample!) to why mineral balance is the foundation of hormonal health, energy, and even emotional resilience — this episode is packed with insights.

Whether you're navigating perimenopause, burnout, adrenal fatigue, or are just curious about root-cause healing, this conversation will help you understand why your minerals matter more than you think.

We Talk About: 

• What HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) actually is and how it works
• Why minerals are the “spark plugs” of the body
• How HTMA can detect imbalances before blood tests do
• My personal journey of fatigue, IVF, hormone confusion, and finally… answers
• The link between minerals and hormones (yes, even perimenopause & fertility)
• What a custom mineral protocol looks like and why it works
• The difference between blood, DNA, and mineral testing — and why you need all three
• How stress, heavy metals, and gut health play into mineral depletion
• Whether you need to stay on supplements forever (hint: maybe not!) Why HTMA is one of the most affordable and effective wellness tools out there
