In this week’s episode, Christian Health Practitioner Nicole Bergeland shares how insightful Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis has been in her personal health journey and for her clients. Her test revealed that she’s a fast metabolizer (not always a good thing!), that she's stuck in fight-or-flight and that she’s bottomed out in four crucial minerals. Through HTMA, one of her family members discovered high arsenic levels which led to them to find it in their well water. 

HTMA offers great insight on things like metabolic type, adrenal function, thyroid function, stress patterns and immune function. It’s a relatively inexpensive and easy test but it gives you a lot of information. Come listen to learn more about what HTMA can reveal about your health!
