STEP #2 : USINGÂ ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS WITH HTMA TESTING
HTMA testing is a great tool for anyone interested in personalizing their nutrition or supplement program based on individual needs.
HTMA stands for Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. This is a laboratory test that measures the amount of trace minerals in the body. It helps practitioners to identify mineral deficiencies and toxic metal accumulation, any imbalances in the body, as well as nutritional ratios.
Hair Mineral Analysis testing is a powerful and unique diagnostic tool that can help uncover any underlying health issues. By understanding the body's mineral balance, a holistic health coach can create treatment plans that address the root cause of an issue rather than just chasing symptoms. This type of test also provides valuable information about how the body metabolizes food, stress levels, energy production, inflammation response, hormone balance, and much more.
Root Cause Analysis: Identify potential underlying causes of the issue or opportunity. This is done through a process called “5 Whys” which requires asking 5 successive “why” questions to get at the root cause of the issue.The Root Cause Analysis section allows the health coach to look deeper into the underlying causes of why their client is having difficulty in making lifestyle changes. This might include exploring topics such as emotional or psychological barriers to change, how their environment supports or hinders change, and what type of self-care strategies could be implemented.
The data collected from HTMA is often used to create targeted dietary and lifestyle plans that are tailored specifically for each individual. The results can provide insight into areas such as digestion, absorption, energy production, and nutrient utilization. This data can then be used to make appropriate recommendations for dietary changes and supplementation, as well as guiding lifestyle adjustments to help improve overall health.
