The Questions I Get Most

What does HTMA stand for?

HTMA stands for Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. It's a simple at-home hair sample test that shows what your minerals have been doing over time, at the tissue level.

What is HTMA and how does it work?

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a simple at-home test. You collect a small hair sample, send it to the lab, and a few weeks later you have a detailed look at how minerals are being deposited in your body over time.

It captures about three months of data, so you're seeing patterns instead of a single moment. The panel measures 37 elements (vital minerals, additional elements, and toxic elements) and gives us a real picture of what your minerals have been doing at the tissue level.

What if my labs always come back "normal" but I still feel terrible?

That's one of the most common things I hear. "Normal" on a standard blood panel means you're within a reference range. It doesn't tell us what your minerals are doing.

HTMA looks at something different. Patterns over time. Ratios. How your minerals are interacting with each other. That's often where the answers are.

I've tried everything and nothing works. How is this different?

You shouldn't have to keep guessing. Instead of another supplement stack or generic protocol, we use HTMA to look at your specific mineral patterns. Then I build a plan around what your body is actually showing.

Stop guessing. Start knowing.

What's included in the $299 Mineral Foundations Analysis?

You receive your at-home hair test kit, a personalized analysis of your mineral patterns (not a generic lab printout), a 90-day plan that tells you what to focus on first, food and lifestyle guidance based on your patterns, and a custom supplement strategy if supplements make sense for you.

Email support is included if questions come up along the way.

How long until I get my results?

Once your hair sample reaches the lab, you'll have your full report within about 2 to 3 weeks. That includes lab processing and your personalized analysis. Your patterns, your priorities, your plan.

What results can I realistically expect?

Most clients start noticing shifts within the first few weeks. Steadier energy, better digestion, clearer thinking. Your 90-day plan gives you a clear timeline of what to expect and when.

Lasting change takes time, and you'll have clarity about what your body needs instead of guessing your way through it.

What happens after the 90 days?

Many clients choose an HTMA Retest + Updated Plan ($199) to see how their patterns have shifted and refine their direction. Others continue with standalone coaching sessions as needed.

Either way, you'll have what you need to keep building on your foundation.

How is your approach different from conventional care?

Conventional care looks at symptoms and runs standard blood work. That's important, and it's not what I do.

I look at patterns over time at the tissue level. Instead of asking "what's wrong," we ask "what's the body showing us?" Then we build a personalized plan around your specific patterns. Food first. Simple lifestyle shifts. A custom supplement strategy only if it makes sense for you.

Do I need to follow a strict diet or give up foods I love?

No. We work food-first, which means adding nourishing choices before removing anything. Your nutrition guidance is based on your patterns, not a one-size-fits-all diet.

This isn't about perfection. It's about progress.

Will I need to take a lot of supplements?

The opposite. Most people come to me already taking too many supplements that aren't doing much. If supplements make sense for your patterns, the goal is one streamlined formula built around your results.

Fewer bottles. More strategy.

What if I can't stick to the plan perfectly?

You don't have to. Progress over perfection is the whole strategy. Your 90-day plan is built with a gentle step-by-step schedule so you don't overwhelm your system, and I use a Good → Better → Best framework so you always have options.

Some days, Good is the bravest step. That counts.

Do I need to live in Las Vegas to work with you?

No. I'm based in Las Vegas, Nevada, and I work virtually with English-speaking clients across the United States and beyond. The hair sample collection is at home. The analysis, plan, and email support are all delivered digitally.

Do you take insurance?

No. My services are paid directly and are not covered by insurance. You'll receive a copy of your HTMA report to share with your healthcare providers if you choose.

How do I get started?

Two ways. You can book a free 15-minute call if you'd like to talk through whether this is the right fit, or you can order the Mineral Foundations Analysis directly if you're ready to start.

Who is not a good fit for working with you?

If you're looking for a medical diagnosis, prescription medication, or someone to replace your doctor, I'm not the right fit. If you want a quick fix or a fast-track protocol, I'm also not the right person.

I work best with people who are ready to look at patterns, take a steady food-first approach, and build something sustainable.

Do you provide medical treatment or diagnose conditions?

No. I'm a Functional Nutrition & Lifestyle Coach. I provide education and support, not medical treatment or diagnosis. HTMA is a screening tool that reveals patterns. It's not a diagnostic test.

Your results are yours to keep and share with your healthcare providers. If you're on medication, pregnant, or managing a specific condition, I'll recommend you check with your doctor before starting a custom supplement formula. That's a conversation between you and your provider.
