In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Leland Stillman is joined by Clark Engelbert and Amy Arp for a deep dive into the misunderstood world of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA). They break down the science behind this diagnostic tool, dispel common myths, and explain how mineral imbalances can impact everything from energy levels to cognitive function. With over a decade of experience in functional medicine, Dr. Stillman shares why conventional blood tests often fall short and how HTMA provides a more dynamic view of a patient’s long-term health.

The discussion reveals the intricate relationship between mineral levels, stress responses, and chronic illness. Clark and Dr. Stillman highlight the importance of proper testing procedures, lab methodologies, and individualized supplement protocols—key factors that determine the accuracy and effectiveness of HTMA. They also explore the fascinating phenomenon of "retracing," where the body revisits past symptoms in reverse order as it heals, a concept long overlooked by mainstream medicine.

Whether you're a healthcare professional, a wellness enthusiast, or someone struggling with persistent health issues, this episode will equip you with practical knowledge on how to optimize your well-being through targeted mineral balancing. Tune in to learn how this powerful tool can transform your approach to health, and why the mainstream medical system continues to overlook its potential.
