However, a hair tissue mineral analysis is much more than a test for minerals. The ionome is the organism’s balance of minerals and trace elements. The ionome describes the functioning state of the entire body, and development science programs use very precise amounts and ratios of minerals and other supplements to balance the person’s entire functioning. This always includes a removal of biounavailable or toxic forms of minerals and heavy metals that most tests will not ever reveal and in a way that remineralizes the body to remove contaminants out using the science of biomimicry. Rather than targeting the metals and contaminants, we use the test to see where there are deficiencies and we correct the deficiencies and electrical circuits of the body, which results in removing toxic and unavailable compounds in a more natural and precise way. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike blood tests, which are useful for acute situations, rather than getting a minute-to-minute reading of circulating mineral and enzyme levels we are getting a stamp of the functioning of the entire being. Blood takes hormone and minerals from the tissue to stabilize itself, and so can be wildly inaccurate as to the toxicity and nutrient levels present over the entire body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe can see patterns that tell us about endocrine function, levels of toxicities and imbalances as well as psychological and lifestyle patterns. On an HTMA, we can see what a person’s current oxidation rate and stage are, hormone levels, glandular output, metabolic function, and much more. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than looking at individual levels, we are paying more attention to relationships (ratios) between minerals and metals and using their interconnected relationships to calculate a very precise custom supplement and dietary program to manipulate their body chemistry into regulation. We use this approach to reduce chaos in the body and make a persons energy more fluid and light by harmonizing the body at an elemental level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this information, we are looking at the last couple months average worth of mineral and metals secretions to assess the function of the body’s basic biochemical balance. A very simplified way of putting it is that we are using this test to assess and correct biochemistry based on a whole-system view. \u003cbr\u003eWe don’t typically use symptoms or diagnoses in this program because symptoms arise as a result of an underlying biochemical imbalance. We work to correct this, and so a person on a committed program for a period of time will begin to notice symptoms go away on their own with no “remedies,” because the root imbalances are being corrected. \u003cbr\u003eIn all cases, this involves a remineralization of the body which removes the toxic metals that have accumulated and are functioning in their place. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlood and other tests are not able to identify metal toxicities and biounavailable minerals (which also create toxicities) that are stored away in the soft tissues. While we typically observe the most surface level imbalances and ratios currently seeking to be fixed, as the person comes more into balance we begin to see eliminations of accumulated biounavailable minerals and metals exiting the body. This is why it is so important to retest every 3-4 months, ideally even 8-12 weeks, so that we do not overshoot or undershoot eliminations and imbalances for the most accurate development programs. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn HTMA gives insight to how in alignment the person is living with their values and emotional needs. It reveals external and internal stressors, relationship and work stress, level of coping and frustration, outlook on life, blood sugar metabolism, stress response, and much more than we could describe here. Lifestyle and emotional support are a very big part of this. To bring the physical body into harmony, all aspects of life must be considered and adjusted to fit what the person needs to thrive. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"site-content\" id=\"content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"content-area\" id=\"primary\"\u003e\u003cmain role=\"main\" class=\"site-main\" id=\"main\"\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"post-1024 page type-page status-publish hentry\" id=\"post-1024\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-post-id=\"1024\" class=\"fl-builder-content fl-builder-content-1024 fl-builder-content-primary fl-builder-global-templates-locked\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-node=\"5dcce85cd1768\" class=\"fl-row fl-row-fixed-width fl-row-bg-none fl-node-5dcce85cd1768 fl-row-default-height fl-row-align-center\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fl-row-content-wrap\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fl-row-content fl-row-fixed-width fl-node-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-node=\"5dcce85cd357a\" class=\"fl-col-group fl-node-5dcce85cd357a\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-node=\"5dcce85cd3628\" class=\"fl-col fl-node-5dcce85cd3628 fl-col-has-cols\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fl-col-content fl-node-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-node=\"5dcce90c217f5\" class=\"fl-col-group fl-node-5dcce90c217f5 fl-col-group-nested\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-node=\"5dcce90c2188f\" class=\"fl-col fl-node-5dcce90c2188f fl-col-small\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fl-col-content fl-node-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-node=\"5dcce92223f74\" class=\"fl-module fl-module-photo fl-node-5dcce92223f74\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fl-photo fl-photo-align-center\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" itemscope=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-node=\"5dccee38c9d60\" class=\"fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-5dccee38c9d60\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fl-rich-text\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eMineral Blueprint \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 15px; font-weight: 400;\"\u003eProviding a mineral blueprint of one's biochemistry, a hair tissue mineral analysis can provide pertinent information about one's metabolic rate, energy levels, and stage of stress.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-node=\"5dccee764c2f6\" class=\"fl-module fl-module-rich-text fl-node-5dccee764c2f6\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fl-module-content fl-node-content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"fl-rich-text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hair tissue mineral analysis performed by Analytical Research Labs, Inc., is a screening test for the level of 20 minerals and toxic metals in a sample of hair.
