Even if you’re following the “perfect” plan, your body might not be responding—because minerals run the show. The HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) isn’t just about testing for deficiencies. It’s about finding the right balance of minerals that control your metabolism, stress response, thyroid, digestion, hormones, and recovery.Why does this matter? Your minerals don’t work in isolation. It’s the ratios between them that determine how well your body functions.Calcium to Potassium impacts metabolism and thyroid functionSodium to Magnesium influences stress resilience and recoveryCalcium to Phosphorus affects energy and nervous system functionZinc to Copper regulates hormones, immunity, and moodSodium to Potassium plays a key role in adrenal function and hydrationAfter contest prep, these ratios are often thrown off. The HTMA helps identify exactly where your body needs support, so we can optimize recovery, fix metabolic dysfunction, and get you back to feeling strong, lean, and energized.Follow:  @BalanceandBodyDiagnostics on Youtube for their own independent podcastMake sure you keep up with the podcast on social media for previews and details about upcoming guest speakers.Instagram: @thebackstagebikinipodcastHost: @jadeleahegartyAvailable on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Youtube and Amazon Music.
