Why HTMA is the best test for improving your fertility

Hey, my friend!

In the world of fertility, there are a lot of testing options available. My guess is you’ve probably done most of them only to walk away and still feel confused as to what your next step should be. This is where HTMA for fertility comes in!

Unlike typical tests that only scratch the surface, HTMA gives us a deeper look at your mineral levels and any heavy metal toxicity you might have. This is especially important for anyone facing fertility challenges, as imbalances can throw your hormones and overall energy off track.

By examining the unique mineral ratios in your body, HTMA helps us pinpoint the underlying issues that could be affecting your fertility. This means we can create a personalized plan that addresses these root causes, setting the stage for a healthier path to conception. So think of it this way…HTMA is a test that not only tells us WHAT but also tells us WHY!

In this article, I’ll dive into why HTMA is such a game-changer for those on the journey to parenthood, and how it can help you take charge of your reproductive health.

What the heck is HTMA?

HTMA stands for Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. We are quite literally looking at the mineral levels in your hair to give us insight to what is going on underneath all the “hormone imbalances” and other issues we are facing while trying to conceive.

We get information from single levels of minerals as well as mineral ratios. This tells us things like:

• state of your nervous system
• the current stage of stress
• thyroid activity
• adrenal activity
• blood sugar levels
• state of any infections
• if we are dealing with any contaminations from heavy metals

When we can see these things listed above it helps us analyze more fertility-specific matters like:

• why you aren’t ovulating
• why hormone levels aren’t balanced
• what could be contributing to your painful periods or irregular cycles
• exactly what we can focus on to improve fertility

Why test minerals?

Minerals are what many experts call the “spark plugs” to our bodily systems. Minerals essentially kick off processes like metabolism, making hormones, energy production, and so much more. When we don’t have the “spark” to get things going, we have sub-optimal fertility. Dr. Emanual Cheraskin states in his book “Diet and Disease, ” Minerals have interrelationships with every other nutrient. Without optimum mineral levels within the body, the other nutrients are not effectively utilized.”

So while blood tests can your show us your levels of hormones, HTMA can show us why hormones are imbalanced based on what mineral levels we might be lacking.

How HTMA works

First, you’ll send in a sample of your hair. Don’t worry friend, it’s just a little bit!

About 2 weeks later I’ll have results that show me the:

• single mineral ratios
• any heavy metals that are present
• significant rations ( meaning how certain minerals work together and what they mean in the body)

When we assess these things we can see what needs to be optimized nutritionally, digestion-wise, supplement-wise, metabolism-wise, and even what might be going on emotionally. It gives us a comprehensive overview of what the body is currently dealing with and what minerals we can focus on to help you improve your fertility ( and feel better).

Why HTMA is better than other fertility testing options

If you haven’t gathered why I personally and professionally believe this is the best test, it is because it doesn’t just tell us WHAT is going on but helps us determine WHY!

When you are dealing with things like unexplained infertility or anovulatory cycles, that WHY means a whole lot. Getting to the root cause of our struggles instead of applying a “bandaid” makes a huge difference in our ability to get pregnant this time and again in the future.

Here are a few other reasons why I love HTMA compared to other tests:

• it’s more affordable
• non-invasive ( you don’t even have to leave your house)
• helps us look at your fertility from a foundational level ( not surface level)
• can’t walk away with “no good answers” because there is always something that can be optimized

How to get started with HTMA

All you have to do is enroll in the HTMA Fertiity Bundle and I’ll take it from there!

I’ll send you your hair kit in the mail along with instructions for taking your sample and signing up for our first connection call. This bundle includes:

• Your test kit and results
• Personalized dietary and supplement protocol
• 3 one-on-one calls with me to go over health history, HTMA results, and follow-up ( typically over 3 months)
• Your very own 1-of-a-kind-made-for-you supplement powder by Vykon ( up to $200)

Client results from doing HTMA with me

Client #1- Had been TTC for over 2 years. We found that she was in what we call 4 lows ( very depleted in her minerals). We chatted about tackling stress with nervous system regulation and started her on a personalized Vykon supplement. One month later she was pregnant!

Client #2- She already had her HTMA test done with someone else but wanted her results analyzed and a protocol designed specifically for her. We talked about how to support her nervous system considering the stress in her family dynamic. She was already taking omegas and magnesium, so we added in a stimulatory B and adrenal cocktails.Almost exactly 2 months to the date she was pregnant!

Client #3- She came to me after trying to conceive for 4 months and was worried about anovulatory cycles. After completing her HTMA we talked about proper drainage for detoxification, and added in 3 other supplements specific to her needs. 2 months later she was pregnant as well!

This could be your story as well! Using your HTMA we can tweak your fertility routine ever so slightly to get you the best chance at conception.
