• Blood tests give a minute-by-minute reading of body chemistry. This can be essential in an acute emergency where every little change must be monitored as it occurs. The negative aspect of this is that blood test can vary depending upon the time of day, meals eaten, activity levels, even one's mood or emotions at the time of the testing. 
• Hair testing is an average reading of about 3 months of hair growth. The test is not affected much by daily or even weekly changes. This means the hair test is less useful in minute-by-minute monitoring however it is very useful for detecting long-term patterns. 
• Blood is maintained at the expense of tissues. 
  Blood minerals are maintained at fairly even levels at all times. Large fluctuations in the blood sugar or mineral or hormone levels could affect many sensitive organs and glands that the blood is in contact with at all times. 
• If the blood becomes low in a mineral such as calcium, calcium is removed from the bones or other tissues to replenish the blood. A person can have osteoporosis, or demineralized bones, but their blood (serum) calcium levels will be normal. 
• Serum magnesium can be normal, but a person can have a cellular magnesium deficiency. The same is true for all the minerals. As a result the blood serum is not a good plan to measure minerals. 
• Hair is an excretory tissue of the body, that is, anything deposited in the hair will be lost as the hair grows and is cut off. Thus, minerals that are deficient are often not deposited in the hair, so that they will be retained. 
• Hair and other tissues are thus the storage reservoirs for minerals. If the reserves are low, it will show up in the hair long before it will show up on a blood test. This makes the hair an excellent place to measure minerals. 
• Toxic metals are removed from the blood as fast as possible. They are stored in the tissues of the body, where they will do less damage. For this reason, it is harder to detect toxic metals in the blood, although there are such blood tests. Toxic metals are easier to detect in the tissues such as the hair. 
• A cellular reading: the site of the metabolism is the cells. Blood is excellent for many tests, but does not measure activity directly at the cellular level. The blood is the "highway" of the body. The cells are the chemical factories of the body. The final destination for all vitamins, minerals, sugars, fats and hormones is the cells, not the blood. It makes sense to measure the cells directly to determine whether these substances are actually reaching their final destination. 

Only about a teaspoon of hair growth is needed for hair analysis, an amount that can easily be collected from the crown and/or nape area of your scalp without being obvious. A scale is provided in the test kit to ensure the correct amount in collected. The newest hair growth (1/2 to 1 inch) is needed to show what is going on in your body most recently, as hair cut from the ends would show what was happening in your body several years ago depending on hair length.

The portion of hair to be collected should be untreated, i.e. not permed, dyed or bleached. If all of the hair has been chemically treated, wait until sufficient new virgin growth has emerged to allow collection. The hair should also be free of all gels, oils and hair creams prior to sample collection. For those individuals environmentally and/or occupationally exposed to external contaminants, (welding, mining, etc...) special care should be taken to limit exposure between washing of the hair and the collection of the sampled hair.

I teach you how to prepare the hair before taking a sample inside the program -generally speaking it's about 8-10 regular shampoos from the time of the treatment that need to be done before a clean sample can be taken to submit to the lab. 

Scalp hair is the only source recommended for analysis. Pubic and other body hair should only be used as a last resort if scalp hair is not available.

Back or chest hair in bald men can be used. 

Note: Pubic and other body hair is only recommended for confirmation of elevated toxic metals found in the scalp hair and/or to rule out external contamination of the scalp hair.

If you have recent blood work within the last 1-2 months that is relevant to your current health I can review that if you choose to sign up for the HTMA package option. 

I do cover what bloodwork I recommend  in the online course and will make suggestions as needed for additional testing after consulting with a client. 

The only two labs whose graph results I am well versed in reviewing are Trace Elements or Analytical Research Labs. The name of the lab will be at the top of your results. 

I do not work with any other labs than these two. If you have RECENT results received within the past 1-3 months and would like me to work with me - you can sign up HERE
(*the cost of the lab fee is deducted). 

I have my own online dispensary that you will be able to order supplements through at a discount. I work with numerous brands and I work with each client to ensure we find products/forms they can use. All of your supplement recommendations will be included in your written game plan with a link to where you can find them in my dispensary for ease of purchase. 

You will be asked to list your current supplements, brands, doses, types on your client health questionnaire. When I review this paperwork and create your plan I will do my best to work with the supplements you have that make sense based on your results. 

No.

I created the program to be very thorough and give you resources beyond our one time consultation. I like to make sure my clients are educated and supported beyond just our 1:1 session together. This is why I do not consult without the program. You do not have to complete the entire program for it to be valuable to you and there is no time limit to complete it by. 

The real magic here is in the integration tools and weekly check in emails that are insider the online course portal. 

The primary costs is your consult or package and any supplements you are recommended, which can range anywhere from $100-$200 per month

Any other costs are up to you, but those could be recommendations like blue blocking glasses or herbs for an herbal infusions or ingredients for mineral baths. 

Retests are also recommended for continuity support and to assess progress and make adjustments. Retests are recommended quarterly the first 1-2 years if possible. Retests can be stretched out to 6 months the first 1-2 years then move to annually. It all depends on your goals, ability to make and sustain changes as well as your finances. 

Retests are $345 they include all the same benefits as the first test minus one report. As long as you remain an active client you will have access to the course portal. 

Yes, I do offer a family plans. 

I first recommend mom's start first with 1 kid (elementary school age and up) - learn more about that option HERE

Beyond that, you may book a discovery call to discuss your families situation with me HERE.

The basic cost is 1 adult investment of $465 -which includes my online program. Then $345 for each additional family member, with $50 off every 2 members. 

Family of 3 - $1105 : get started HERE
Family of 4 - $1400 : get started HERE
Family of 5 - $1745 : get started HERE

Yes. I am currently working with kids elementary age and up. 

I mostly work with kids and mom together - learn more HERE. 

However, if you want me to work with just your child alone I suggest the HTMA consultation option and that a parent utilize the course material as well as benefit from the weekly client emails. 

Questions about your child's situation ; [email protected]

Let me know more about what your child is dealing with, what you are hoping to accomplish and I will share if I am able to support you, 

I do not take them as payment. My clients with Health Savings accounts or Family Savings accounts pay out of pocket then submit their receipt of purchase for reimbursement.
