Welcome to Your HTMA Mineral Foundations Program

Welcome

You’re officially in ... and I’m so glad you’re here.

Over the next several months, we’ll use your Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), health history, nutrition and lifestyle information, and your progress along the way to better understand your unique mineral patterns and metabolic trends.

The goal is not to change everything at once.

We’ll use your results to identify your highest foundational priorities, create a personalized wellness roadmap, and take things one step at a time.

Client Portal Overview

Watch the short video below for a tour of your client portal and how to use it throughout your HTMA program.

Your First Steps

1. Set Up Your Client Portal

Practice Better is your home base throughout your HTMA program. You can access Practice Better from your computer or download the Practice Better app to your phone or tablet.

You’ll use your portal to:

Complete your intake forms and questionnaires
Access your appointments
Send me secure messages
View your session notes and wellness roadmap
Access handouts and resources
Complete assigned tasks
Track information when requested

Log Into Your Client Portal

2. Complete Your Intake Forms

Before we can dig into your HTMA results, I need to get to know you, not just your minerals.

Please complete all assigned forms in your Practice Better portal, including your health history, current concerns, nutrition and lifestyle information, and any other questionnaires assigned to you.

Please be thorough. The information you provide helps me look for connections between your history, current habits, symptoms, and the patterns that may appear on your HTMA.

3. Share Your Current Supplements, Medications & Labs

Please include a current list of all supplements and prescription medications, including the brand and product name whenever possible.

If you have recent laboratory testing that may be helpful for our work together, you can also upload those results to your Practice Better portal.

4. Complete Your Hair Sample

Your HTMA kit includes instructions for properly collecting your hair sample.

Please follow the preparation and collection instructions carefully. Hair products, certain shampoos, sweat, water exposure, and other factors can potentially affect mineral readings.

Once your sample has been collected, follow the instructions provided with your kit for returning it to the laboratory.

5. While We Wait for Your Results

This is a great time to begin paying attention to your foundations.

Mineral patterns don't exist in isolation. Throughout your program, we may explore areas such as:

clean water
digestion
blood sugar balance
nutrient-dense whole foods
stress
sleep
hydration
movement
reducing unnecessary toxic exposures

You don't need to overhaul everything right now. We’ll determine which areas deserve the most attention after your intake information and HTMA results are reviewed together.

One Last Reminder

Mineral balancing is a process, not a race.

Your job isn't to be perfect. Your job is to participate, communicate, and consistently work on the priorities we identify together.

My job is to help you understand what we're seeing, simplify the information, and help you turn it into realistic steps you can actually implement.

I’m looking forward to seeing what we learn about your Mineral Blueprint.
