The 6 month program includes the cost of the labs (GI MAP, HTMA and Organic Acid), symptom analysis, blood chemistry analysis, functional lab analysis, protocol development, messaging with two members of our team for 6 months, ten 1:1 zoom calls with members of our team, recipe guides as well as educational content and handouts to educate you on your case, symptoms and lab findings.

In the first month, we take a deep dive into your health history and review any previous lab results. During this time, you will also send out your new labs for testing. Based on your symptoms, health background, and any labs you provide, you’ll receive a personalized initial protocol to begin your healing journey.

Once your functional lab results are in, we’ll provide you with a detailed video and written report, explaining your results and how they relate to your symptoms. By the start of Month 2, you will receive a master protocol that integrates all of your lab data, ensuring a comprehensive approach to your health. Please note that we will not publish a master supplement protocol until all of your functional labs are back.

During months 3 through 6, you’ll focus on following your personalized protocol while receiving ongoing coaching and support to ensure your progress. Labs can be retested as needed to track your improvements. By the end of the 6 months, some clients choose to continue their journey through our alumni program, where additional guidance is provided. 

Supplements are not included in the program, as they are tailored to individual needs and determined on a case-by-case basis through functional lab testing and symptom analysis. You will have access to a 15% discount on high-quality, medical-grade supplements! 

The Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a non-invasive test that involves analyzing a small sample of hair to evaluate the levels of essential minerals and heavy metals in the body. Hair grows from the root, and as it does, minerals and toxins are deposited into the hair shaft. By examining these deposits, the HTMA provides valuable insights into your body's mineral balance, overall metabolic function, and exposure to toxic metals.

This test is particularly useful for identifying mineral deficiencies or imbalances, which can affect many aspects of your health, including energy production, immune function, and hormonal balance. For instance, it can reveal deficiencies in critical minerals like magnesium, calcium, and zinc, or excesses of others like copper, which may contribute to health issues.

HTMA also plays a key role in detecting the presence of toxic heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and aluminum, which can accumulate in the body and contribute to a range of chronic conditions. Additionally, the results of an HTMA can provide insights into thyroid and adrenal function, as certain mineral patterns are linked to how well these glands are working. For example, imbalances in calcium and potassium may indicate slow thyroid function, while sodium and magnesium levels can offer clues about adrenal health and stress response.

Overall, HTMA is a valuable tool for gaining a comprehensive understanding of your nutritional status and detecting potential underlying factors that may be affecting your health. It helps our practitioners create a personalized plan to address these imbalances through targeted nutrition and supplementation.
