Episode 56: Dani’s Hair Mineral Test Results & What They Mean

Welcome to Part 2, where Hannah and I review my HTMA (hair mineral testing) results! For part one (What is HTMA Testing), head to episode 53. This test is very unique in comparison to blood testing as we are looking inside the cells, and looking at 3 months of mineral status vs a moment in time. Tune in to find out how recent stressors and being postpartum (+ breasfeeding) have impacted my mineral status and what I'm going to do about it to optimize my health and feel my best in coming months!

In this episode:

• Review of HTMA testing and how it differs from a blood test


• Reasons why you may want an HTMA test and why I got one


• Slow vs Fast Metabolic Types


• The results: highs and lows of my mineral levels


• Changes I'll be making to my diet, lifestyle, and supplements
