HTMA LEVEL 1

Practioner Course

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis is used worldwide by clinicians, practitioners and scientists. In a single hair sample, the tissue is stable over time and provides several months of biochemical activity versus just a snapshot from blood work. Obtaining the sample is inexpensive and non-invasive, and can be completed without medical intervention.

Biochemical, physical, and emotional stressors deplete the body of essential nutrients. In stages and over time, chronic illness may develop and as well environmental illness may arise as a result of exposure to environmental toxins. These issues, combined so many health assaults, result in the accumulation of toxins in tissues and may completely disrupt normal body chemistry.

The HTMA lab test quantifies deficiencies or excesses in essential mineral levels, significant and identifies toxic heavy metals of concern. A complete lab report uses charts, graphs, and supportive documentation to show an individual’s unique metabolic status, and provides corrective recommendations to address mineral imbalances, erase debilitating symptoms and revitalize cellular metabolism.

Curriculum

Class 1

You will learn the validity and history of HTMA, the “Big 4” minerals (Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium) plus Phosphorus. We will discuss oxidation rates and the significance to your clients, plus intelligent nutritional programming to optimize functioning for the Fast and Slow Oxidizer. You will also learn how lifestyle factors affect mineral levels and the basic supplement protocols that are recommended. Plus we will review applying this information to Trace Elements, ARL and CanAlt Lab test results.

Class 2

In this class we will look at the trace minerals, why they are important to the body and in your analysis. We will be diving into the significant ratios, what they represent with regards to the functionality of the body, why these ratios are the most important on the test itself and some ratio patterns. There will be a discussion on common conditions and how they are associated with mineral imbalance. As well you will be introduced to the stress response pattern and how chronic stress creates chaos and mineral imbalances.

Class 3

In this class you will learn all about the 4 Lows pattern, the progression of 4 Lows through the oxidation rates and subtypes, how to assess it and how to treat clients in 4 Lows. Discussions around one, two, three and four level patterns will be included. We will also be going deep into the relevance of the Calcium Shell, its presence in mental illness, and protocols to break down elevated tissue calcium. We will finish with iodine, why we cannot live without it, how to assess iodine deficiency on HTMA, as well as through blood panels, and the full iodine protocol.

Class 4

We start this class looking deeper into HTMA interpretation, as well as discussing Dr. Eck’s 9 Rules of Mineral Analysis. We will explore the retest, why sometimes retests do not match how the client is feeling and loss patterns on HTMA. Then we will review in depth the epidemic of Copper Toxicity and what contributes to its build up in the body. We will discuss Overt Copper toxicity, HIDDEN Copper Toxicity and how to assess copper on HTMA with specific markers. We will explore all of the conditions that interact with copper and lastly, cover the process of copper detox, protocols for copper, as well as what your client might experience while healing.

Class 5

In class 5 we talk all about the toxic elements and their detection on HTMA. You will learn why NOT seeing elevations in toxicities does not mean they are not there. We cover the additional elements in detail, as well as the toxic ratios and additional ratios. We will also discuss the nature of mineral balance, how replacing vital minerals will start to let the body release toxic metals. How to approach heavy metal detox safely and effectively, and what your clients can expect through their healing journey.

Class 6

In this class we will go deep into the customized protocols for the oxidation rates and 4 Lows pattern. We will discuss protocols in great detail dissecting why each ingredient is recommended and the actions it serves. You will learn appropriate dosages, how to streamline supplementation with Vykon powders and some additional therapies to implement that may assist in the healing process and support detoxification. We will also cover the basics when it comes to taking an appropriate hair sample, some regulations that you should be aware of and how to successfully implement HTMA into your health practice.

About your instructor

Vanessa O’Brien, DIP.NT NNA, FNTP, HTMA-P, V-PM, CHA-1

Vanessa discovered the wonderful world of HTMA when seeking a solution to chronic post trauma-related fatigue, and a sudden drop in hormones. The test, and process that followed, finally helped her to heal herself, and led her to introduce HTMA into all her client work with hundreds of women over 40, helping them to overcome their symptoms too.

In 2023, Vanessa joined Lisa Pitel-Killah, Founder of the Clinical HTMA Academy, in her newly formed HTMA Intern Program group to study HTMA from a clinical perspective. Vanessa spent the last 17 months, alongside a dozen other health practitioners studying HTMA with Lisa and expanding her knowledge of how mineral balancing can truly change the lives of clients. Specializing in interpretation and building protocols, Vanessa took on a role of a Practitioner Mentor with Vykon Customs, a revolutionary company, created by Lisa Pitel-Killah, that is the first ever all-encompassing solution for mineral balancing.

Vanessa supports health practitioners all over the world as a Practitioner Mentor with interpretation of HTMA for their clients and is a Level 1 Instructor with the Clinical HTMA Academy.
