00:00

HTMA test is one of the best FIRST labs you can run that most regular doctors won't because it's not diagnosing you with anything -- it's about finding the gaps in your diet, looking at your metabolism, your blood sugar, and if you're properly digesting your food.

That's why if food is breaking you out, no matter how healthy you eat - this test will show you (on paper) what foods you need to eat to really start clearing your acne.

In this episode, I'm going over everything from:

➡️ what a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Test is & why it's needed to fix your hormones

➡️ WHY you feel like no matter how healthy you eat, you still break out

➡️ 3 things (like birth control & spironolactone) that's really depleting your minerals (& causing more acne)

➡️ 7 different signs you're mineral deficient & how it's showing up in your life

➡️ How taking the wrong supplements (like DIM, Vitamin D, and zinc) can make your skin, constipation, and bloating worse

➡️ How we'll put together the best diet to clear your skin & get rid of any other symptoms you're dealing with (from weightloss to energy)
