Connecting the Dots: How HTMA Reveals Hormonal Health

Join Dr. Stillman and Clark Engelbert as they discuss the connection between HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) and hormones.

00:06 HTMA reveals intricate connections between hormones, neurotransmitters, and minerals.

02:22 HTMA can reveal hormonal imbalances through mineral and metal interactions.

06:44 HTMA reveals underlying mineral imbalances leading to hormonal issues.

08:53 Higher levels of thyroid hormone lead to better clinical results and symptom alleviation.

13:28 Hair test provides a more meaningful measurement of thyroid hormone activity than blood test.

15:43 Suppression of estrogen levels by aromatase inhibitors can have negative effects.

19:46 Heavy metals like aluminum impact hormonal health.

21:36 HTMA ratios reveal adrenal function through sodium and potassium levels.

25:45 Sodium potassium ratio is a crucial parameter for hormonal health.

27:55 Improving diet and lifestyle can reduce reactions to allergens and sensitivities.

31:42 Addressing magnesium deficiency through sophisticated protocols.

33:30 Magnesium interacts with other minerals and can affect hormonal health.

37:16 HTMA can predict skin issues and sensitivity to sun exposure.

39:19 Be cautious of toxic metals in herbs and Celtic Sea salt.

43:36 Eating a high potassium diet leads to feeling better overall.

45:22 HTMA retention mechanisms are influenced by hormonal status and adrenal hormones.
