Gut- Brain 
 

Support optimal digestion and build a diverse Gut microbiota that is imperative to support health and MIND

Weight loss &  Metabolism 

Testing can provide valuable information that may indirectly support efforts related to weight loss by identifying metabolic issues. Some toxins can disrupt metabolic processes and contribute to weight gain or hinder weight loss efforts

Beetroot
Low Energy Levels 

Testing can reveal markers related to energy production and mitochondrial function. If these processes are inefficient, it can impact energy levels and, indirectly, weight management. Addressing these issues may improve overall energy and vitality.

WHAT IS HAIR TISSUE MINERAL ANALYSIS ?

HAIR TISSUE MINERAL ANALYSIS
COMPREHENSIVE DEFICIANCY & METAL TOXICITY

Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) is a diagnostic test that analyses a small sample of hair to assess mineral levels and imbalances in the body. It provides valuable insights into the body's mineral status and metabolism over a period of time, typically several months.

During HTMA, a hair sample, taken from the scalp, is collected and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory uses specialised techniques to measure the concentrations of various minerals

HTMA is used to identify mineral imbalances, deficiencies, and toxic metal exposure.

These imbalances may be associated with various health conditions or symptoms, such as fatigue, hormonal imbalances, metabolic disorders, and neurological issues.

By identifying mineral imbalances and toxic metal exposure, HTMA can help guide personalised treatment plans, including nutritional supplementation, dietary modifications, and lifestyle interventions, to restore mineral balance and promote optimal health and well-being.

POSTPARTUM CARE

Struggling to get back on your feet after birth?

Heard of post-partum depletion?

The term coined by Dr. Oscar Serrallach to describe mothers feeling the lasting effects of diminished nutrition- hormonally, nutritionally, and emotionally up to ten years post-partum

HTMA  can support postpartum recovery for mothers. 


Postpartum mothers often face nutrient deficiencies due to the demands of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. HTMA can:
- Detect deficiencies in essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc.
- Identify imbalances in trace minerals like copper and selenium.


HTMA can reveal the presence of toxic heavy metals, such as lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can affect a mother’s energy levels and overall health.

 
 

Postpartum, many women experience hormonal imbalances that can affect adrenal and thyroid function. HTMA can:- Provide insights into adrenal gland activity through mineral ratios like sodium/potassium.- Help assess thyroid function by looking at calcium/potassium ratios.

The postpartum period can be stressful. HTMA can help in:

  • Understanding the body’s stress response by analyzing minerals involved in stress regulation, such as magnesium and calcium.

  • Providing strategies to support adrenal health and reduce stress.

NUTRIGENOMICS 
 

Nutrigenomics is an exciting and emerging field in the area of Nutrition & Genetics. 

Genetic differences can affect how diet is expressed/interacts with your genes. Your genetic make-up is a indicator of absorption, metabolism and transport of chemicals, in turn determining how you respond to minerals  vitamins, and compounds in the foods we eat.

 

Nutrigenomics unlocks this personal blueprint. 

DIET 
Ideal diet type and macro metabolism, optimize weight loss
ENERGY
Boost daily energy levels and ensure optimum methylation
INFLAMATION Reduce food that influences the genes directly involved in managing inflammation. 
HORMONES 
Balance hormones, support thyroid health, and optimize vitamin D levels
AGEING 
Body’s accumulation of free radicals, and hormones drops are  influenced by genetics.
DETOXIFICATION 
Understanding gene function can help you balance hormones and create an efficient detoxification system
