• Improper diet with a high intake of refined carbohydrates and sugars, processed foods, alcohol, and extremely restrictive diets
• Exposure to toxic metals from the air, water, food, personal care and household products, cookware and environment
• Stress – physical or emotional - depletes the body of minerals and hinders absorption of many nutrients
• Prescription and over-the-counter medications can also deplete minerals and increase the levels of toxic metals in the body
• Taking incorrect nutritional supplements or random amounts of supplements can cause an imbalance
• Unhealthy lifestyle habits such as lack of sleep, lack of or excessive exercise, eating on the run, etc.
• Inherited mineral patterns from parents

Minerals are involved in almost all enzyme reactions within the body, and without enzyme activity, life ceases to exist! The body deposits minerals into the hair in different amounts depending on what is occurring with their metabolism. Properly interpreting a hair mineral analysis test provides a wealth of information about how the body is functioning.

Each mineral level in the body is affected by other mineral levels. For example, if potassium in the body is increased, calcium will be decreased. When calcium is decreased, other mineral levels change too. Each change in a mineral level creates a change in the functioning of the body. The chain reactions here are extremely complex, which is why many people do more harm than good by taking random supplements or one-size-fits-all multiple vitamins.

To truly know what one needs in order to increase energy, optimize weight, provide anti-aging benefits and to cleanse, one needs to understand the complete picture of how the body is working as a system down to the level of each individual cell. Our Reset Yourself program does just this, opening your eyes to the system functions going on within your very own body.

With the Reset Mineral Analysis you are not getting a “one-size fits all” approach. Once we see exactly how your metabolism is functioning, we know what nutrients you need to optimize energy and jumpstart your own inherent healing mechanisms.  

• Uncover current nutrient & mineral imbalances within your body
• Understand levels of nutrient minerals reaching your cells
• Determine your level of heavy metal toxicity
• Discover the current state of your metabolism
• Optimize digestion and absorption for increased vitality
• Make intelligent, informed dietary & lifestyle choices based on your UNIQUE needs

  Knowledge is power!

Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) is an analytical test that measures the mineral content of your hair. The test measures the levels of 21 minerals in the hair with an accuracy of about ±97%. 

The main goal of our Reset Yourself program is to increase energy and provide the proper balance of nutrients. When this goal is reached, your body will be able to repair itself in ways you may not think possible. At the core, we are aiming to correct the body’s metabolism. Your metabolism is the result of every organ and cell working as a system to create energy and our Reset Mineral Analysis test is a wonderful way to optimize it.

Using a small sample of hair as a screening tool and guide, we can painlessly and reliably analyze how your unique metabolism is functioning. This allows us to understand what nutrients your body needs to jumpstart your own inherent healing mechanisms and optimize your health now and in the future.

Yes, as long as it is the hair closest to the scalp. For retests, we recommend you try to take hair from the same general location as the initial test, as this gives more reliable comparisons.

Yes. You can either cut your own hair sample, or have a friend or hairstylist cut it for you.  If you are cutting your own sample, it may be easiest to take it from the sides so that you can see where you are cutting in a mirror. Whether you cut your own sample or have someone else do it, be sure to follow the hair sampling instructions carefully. The hair sampling instructions are provided in the hair sampling kit and a how-to video is available in your online account once you place your order.

Hair from the head is much preferred because it provides the most accurate readings of the mineral levels in the body. In situations where there is insufficient hair on the head, beard, chest or arm hair may be used as a last resort.

Yes, continue all prescribed medication. Our goal is to support the health of the body so that the medications may not eventually be needed, but not without permission of your doctor.

You will have enough hair when the 3.8 cm/ 1.5-inch (or shorter) hair samples will tip the hair sampling scale. Be sure to use the hair that is closest to the scalp. For persons with a buzz cut, it can be as short as 0.3 centimeters or less. 

For a retest, you may want to use only 2.5 cm/1 inch (or shorter) of hair that is closest to the scalp so that we have the most recent information and can see the more recent changes. Remember that we want the sample from the hair closest to the scalp. A paper scale is included in the hair sampling kit along with instructions on how to use it. This scale will help you collect enough hair for sampling.

In the beginning, every 6 months is a good time frame to retest so that we can update your recommendations in accordance with the changes taking place in your body.

Results will be ready 14-18 days after we receive your hair sample. 

Yes.  This will be detailed in the sampling instructions we send you.

We will use this information to evaluate your test results and provide customized recommendations. Your information will be kept private.

A paper scale is provided in the hair sampling kit. 

We test 21 different key nutrient minerals and toxic metals.

Nutrient Minerals: calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc,

                                 chromium, selenium, phosphorus

Toxic Metals: lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum nickel

Other Minerals: cobalt, molybdenum, lithium, boron

Each person is different.  Some people start to lose weight right away.  Others have deeper metabolic issues that must be addressed before the body loses weight. Our goal is for you to enjoy long-lasting, sustainable results and not just a “quick-fix”.
