Mineral Testing

Minerals are the building blocks of our body, the spark plugs that enable all reactions within our system to happen which sets the stage for happy, balanced hormones. They are the helpers for every single metabolic reaction, which means in order for our bodies to make hormones, detoxify toxins, make digestive juices, even energy, etc. our cells need minerals to make this happen.

How do minerals impact our hormones?

  • Cellular Energy Production requires minerals. As minerals like magnesium and copper become depleted, our ability to make ATP (the body's main energy source) decreases. Less energy production = slower thyroid. Step one to hormonal chaos.

  • As the thyroid and metabolism slow, important processes like stomach acid production do as well. This leads to a slow down of transit time, constipation,bloating, and increases the burden on the liver. Our liver also requires minerals to detoxify properly. This is the recipe for hormonal issues.

  • As minerals become depleted, adrenal function slows, and the ability to respond to stress declines. This can then impact hormone production and how we utilize hormones in the body. This can also impact how we make and use thyroid hormone, which is essential for healthy hormone levels. Adrenal dysfunction = hormonal havoc

Getting a clear picture on the specific nutrient deficiencies and dysregulation through mineral testing offers us a lens into what's driving hormone imbalances and uncomfortable symptoms.

No more second guessing, chasing symptoms, constant web searches, or opting for synthetic resources; let’s get to the root cause and find a holistic route to get your back into balance.

Mineral Reviews include analyzing your bio-individual nutrient status, heavy metal exposure, inflammatory markers, and mineral dysregulation.

Basic Mineral Reviews

We use HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) testing which gives insight into your mineral status on a cellular levels. It also highlights your unique response to stress, thyroid function, gut health, blood sugar regulation, adrenal status, and your nervous system health all in one functional test. Learn more about the benefits of HTMA testing here. 

Full Monty Review

We also offer a Full Iron Panel that offers insight into inflammatory markers, immune response, antioxidant defense, energy production, and red blood synthesis. Testing blood alongside cellular health provides a full comprehensive lens into one’s mineral status. Learn more about the Full Iron Panel here. 

Plan Of Action

We’ll evaluate your stress timeline, highlight mineral deficiencies, metabolic sabotagers, heavy metal accumulation, and pinpoint dietary needs to set up a pathway of healing for your hormones, create a resilient thyroid and nourished adrenal system. 

Whether you’re trying to heal from PCOS, have a sluggish thyroid, dealing with weight gain, or tired of painful periods every month; Mineral Reviews are a good first step to reducing inflammation, improving cellular energy production, and making steps to balancing your hormones by getting clear on what your body needs. 


  • "As a registered nurse, I found Carlynns knowledge and expertise in minerals above and beyond! She is absolutely brilliant, easy to work with, kind, and her protocols are exceptional. I cannot recommend a HTMA will her enough!"

  • "Working with Carlynn has been one of the best things I’ve done for my health. I was experiencing fatigue and sleep issues, and I thought it was normal as a busy mom. But Carlynn was able to pinpoint deficiencies driven by data and gave me a clear path towards healing"

    Laura H

  • "It has been very difficult for me to find a provider I trust. She is very supportive, not overwhelming at all, but because I have a background in functional nutrition as well, I was impressed with all of the information I received. I am always wanting more information! :) The HTMA is a vital test for me especially in furthering my health journey and really getting into the root causes!"

    Alyssa R

  • "For me, it’s very easy to feel out of balance when it comes to my health, so getting testing done and consulting with Carlynn is helping me understand what’s going on in my body. I feel more confident to take responsibility for my health."

    Andrea B

  • "I highly recommend seeing Carlynn for HTMA testing. I can't tell you enough the value of testing and going through Carlynn's process with her. She does a health history and results review and she is full of knowledge on how minerals and toxins interact in your body and gives ways to help achieve rebalance to improve your health outcome."
