If you’ve been bouncing between doctors, cutting foods, trying probiotics, magnesium, hormone cleanses—or worse, feeling like nothing ever truly works—it’s time to stop guessing.
Your body isn't broken.
But your minerals might be.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) helps us see what your body’s been trying to tell you all along: you’re not getting the right kind of support at the cellular level. Minerals are the spark plugs behind your hormones, digestion, metabolism, energy, and nervous system. And if those aren’t firing right—nothing else really works.
This isn’t another supplement stack or restrictive protocol. This is about getting answers. Root cause answers.
If you’re dealing with:
Constant bloating no matter what you eat
Constipation or sluggish digestion
Hormonal chaos or irregular cycles
Fatigue that doesn’t lift no matter how clean you eat
Trouble sleeping, anxiety, or brain fog
Infertility or period problems in your 30s/40s
Feeling “off” and dismissed in your perimenopausal years...
Then HTMA could be your missing piece.
This simple, non-invasive hair test shows us exactly what’s going on inside your cells—
Metabolic type (slow or fast)
Stress and adrenal response
Detox capacity and inflammation levels
Heavy metal toxicity
Mineral deficiencies and imbalances
Hormone, thyroid, and nervous system patterns
“Working with Kat, I was able to confirm what I had suspected about my body’s condition through the use of HTMA testing. The results allowed me to pinpoint the root causes of my bloating, eczema and constipation. Kat then created a plan tailored for me which helped me to heal my root causes and inflammation allowing me to have clearer skin, regular bowel movements, more energy and self confidence!”
Minerals are the spark plugs of the body.
Without them, your body literally cannot:
Make or metabolize hormones
Digest food and absorb nutrients
Balance blood sugar or regulate energy
Detox efficiently or sleep soundly
Here’s what happens when key minerals are out of balance:
Magnesium → poor sleep, low stress resilience
Potassium → fatigue, blood sugar crashes
Sodium → burnout, adrenal dysfunction
Copper/Zinc → hormone imbalance, skin/histamine issues
Calcium → thyroid and nervous system dysregulation
When you start by addressing minerals? Everything else gets easier.
Chronic stress
Poor sleep
Undereating or overtraining
Well-meaning supplements used improperly
Environmental toxins
You don’t build a house starting with the roof. So why jump into gut cleanses, hormone protocols, or advanced testing—before checking your foundation?
Minerals are the foundation.
They impact your thyroid, adrenals, gut, metabolism, blood sugar, energy, fertility, and even your mental health.
Your metabolic type (slow vs fast) so we know how to support your energy, thyroid, and digestion
If your adrenals are struggling and what they need to recover
How your minerals are impacting your hormones
Whether you’re dealing with toxicity or heavy metal buildup
If your body is able to detox properly
Patterns tied to digestive issues, blood sugar crashes, mood swings, or anxiety
Nutrient imbalances holding back your fertility, libido, or weight loss goals
I support women—especially in their 30s to early 50s—who are navigating:
Bloating, constipation, and gut symptoms that don’t improve no matter what they cut out
Fatigue, low motivation, and hormone shifts that feel unexplainable
Fertility struggles or prepping for pregnancy later in life
PMS, anxiety, and cycle changes that point to mineral burnout
A desire to get off the hamster wheel of tests that say "everything looks normal"
If you’re here, you’re probably someone who’s tried a lot already. I see you. I’ve been there. This is different. This is data + strategy + support.
““My doctor said I had low iron and blamed that for my fatigue, heavy periods, and brain fog. But Kat looked deeper. She showed me that my iron wasn’t low — it just wasn’t moving, because I didn’t have the cofactors to use it properly. That was also throwing off my hormones and slowing my digestion. No one had ever connected those dots for me before. Within 3 months, my periods were normal, my bloating was gone, and I wasn’t constipated for the first time in years.””

Ready to take the guesswork out of your health?
You’re not supposed to feel bloated after every meal.
Or wired but exhausted.
Or afraid of your own hormones.
Or wondering what’s “wrong with you” when no one else can tell you.
This is your body asking for support.
This is your moment to listen.
