🧬 HTMA: The Methylation Blueprint Test

If your minerals are depleted, methylation can’t fire. And if heavy metals or chemical toxins are clogging your system, your enzymes can’t function.
This test shows us why your healing might be stuck — and what to do about it. Whether you're dealing with fatigue, burnout, brain fog, hormone chaos, poor detox, or chronic gut issues, HTMA gives us a foundational map of what your body is missing.

What This Test Tells Us

✅ Mineral Imbalances: Are magnesium, potassium, calcium, or zinc depleted? These minerals are essential for energy production, nervous system regulation, and the function of methylation enzymes.
✅ Adrenal & Nervous System Patterns: The sodium-to-potassium ratio reveals how stressed or depleted your adrenals are — even before you look at cortisol or hormones.
✅ Methylation Cofactor Status: Minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and molybdenum are essential for the proper function of MTHFR, MTR, and other methylation-related genes.
✅ Sulfur & Hydrogen Sulfide Overload: If molybdenum is low, you may not be clearing sulfites properly — which can lead to sulfur toxicity, brain fog, and bloating via SUOX enzyme slowdown.
✅ Detox Insight: HTMA reveals whether your body can detoxify before we introduce advanced protocols or binders.

Why Start With This Test?

Before we dive into deeper testing (like DUTCH, GI-MAP, OAT, or DNA), we need to make sure the foundation is solid. If your minerals are missing, methylation won’t fire, detox gets jammed, and your energy tanks.

Think of this test like checking the electrical wiring before flipping the circuit breakers.
No spark, no power — no matter how many switches you flip.

What Happens After You Test

Once you complete your hair sample and we get the results:

✅ You’ll receive a personalized mineral blueprint (with clinical interpretation)
✅ We’ll review what phase your body is in — burnout, overload, or adaptive stress
✅ You’ll get targeted support: lifestyle, diet, and supplement recommendations
✅ If sulfur overload or metal toxicity is suspected, we may follow up with a fecal heavy metals test for confirmation

We don’t guess. We test — starting with your body’s blueprint.
