What Your Minerals Are Trying to Tell You (And Why a Hair Test Might Just Be the Missing Link)
In this episode, weâre continuing our functional lab testing series with one of my absolute favorite tools: the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) test.
I know lab testing can feel a little overwhelmingâespecially when youâve been told everything looks ânormalâ but you still donât feel right. Thatâs where HTMA comes in.
Weâre diving into: đ§ How minerals influence everythingâyour metabolism, energy, stress response, and organ function đż Why blood work isnât always the whole picture (and why mineral testing goes deeper) đĽ What it means when symptoms show up on the surfaceâbut the root cause is hiding underneath đ¸ How emotional and spiritual health tie into physical balance đ Real-life examples from clients whoâve used HTMA to get answers and finally feel like themselves again
Iâm breaking it all down in simple, clear languageâand sharing why this test is one of the most affordable, insightful ways to understand what your bodyâs really asking for. We also end the episode with a little blessingâbecause your words hold power, and I want this to be a space where you feel encouraged, equipped, and seen.
If youâve been feeling off, stuck, or are just curious about whatâs going on under the surface you are going to love this episode.Because healing isnât just about treating symptomsâitâs about understanding the story your body is telling you.

This episode kicks off a brand new mini-series all about functional lab testingâbecause when it comes to hormones, fertility, and overall wellness, your body is speaking⌠we just need to know how to listen.
Iâm breaking down the three main tests I recommend most often to my clients: 𧪠The Dutch Test â for understanding hormone pathways and stress patterns 𧲠The HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) â to track mineral movement and how your body is really handling stress 𩸠The Full Monty Iron Panel â to get the full picture of how your iron levels are impacting everything from fatigue to fertility
Weâll also talk about: ⨠Why conventional labs often miss the full story ⨠The importance of strong foundations (before you spend $$$ on testing!) ⨠How I use these results to create truly personalized, root-cause protocols
If youâve been wondering whether lab testing is right for youâor youâve had tests done but still feel stuckâthis episode will help you feel way more clear and confident about whatâs next.

In this episode of the Hormone Happy Hour podcast, I am making this like 'The Secret Life of Health Class,' I dig into the essential hormones that regulate our fertility and overall hormonal health: estrogen and progesterone. Think of this as the health class we all should have gotten when we were younger, but we didnât. I'll be clearing up common misconceptions and explaining what estrogen and progesterone actually do. From the changes that kick start puberty to the roles these hormones play in mood regulation, libido, and more, I break it all down for you. I also touch on issues like estrogen dominance, low progesterone, and why these imbalances happen. We'll unpack how common solutions like birth control can sometimes mask underlying problems.
This episode is packed with important info you'll need for upcoming episodes on fertility frameworks, libido, and PMS. Get ready to learn what you should have been taught all along!
