Ep. 116: What an HTMA Test Actually Reveals (That Standard Labs Miss) And How Practitioners Can Use It
-

In this practitioner focused episode, Dr. Heather Finley breaks down what Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) actually measures, why it captures things that standard blood serum testing misses, and how practitioners can use it to understand a client's cellular mineral status, oxidation rate, and toxic metal burden.
She also addresses the hard questions about HTMA validity directly, including the lab variability research, the lack of a universal clinical standard, and AMA non-recognition.
Topics covered: how HTMA differs from bloodwork, the Big 8 minerals and significant ratios, oxidation rate and metabolic typing, hidden copper toxicity, HTMA validity and the JAMA studies, lab selection (TEI vs. ARL), and how to start using HTMA in clinical practice.
