15: What Your Mineral Ratios Say About Your Health
Episode 15
Sunday, 21 December, 2025
Join patreon to get access to HTMA case studies here!Normal blood work doesn't mean your minerals are actually working.In this episode, I wrap up the 4 part mineral series by zeroing in on hair test ratios and why they often matter more than whether a single mineral looks high or low. These ratios reveal patterns in your metabolism, stress response, thyroid, adrenals, blood sugar and even mood, so you can see what your body is actually doing, not just what the first page of your hair test says. Maybe you've stared at a hair test and had no idea what the numbers actually mean. This episode connects those ratios with the tired, anxious, bloated, cold and “hypothyroid” feelings that can show up even when your blood work looks fine. You’ll finally be able to make sense of the patterns without obsessing over every single number. These patterns hint at fast or slow metabolic types, burnout or overdrive in your adrenals, and trouble using your thyroid hormones even if you can still make them.Once you see what your minerals are really doing together, it's hard to unsee what they're telling you about your body.This is part 4 of 4 of my Mineral Series.
