Ep. #524 | What Your Hair Can Tell You About Your Health

By Jenn Pike | September 15, 2025

In this episode, I dive deep into the world of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and what your hair can reveal about your overall health, especially for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. 

Key Topics:

  • The difference between blood tests and hair tissue mineral analysis
  • How minerals like calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium impact your health, stress, thyroid, and metabolism
  • The importance of understanding mineral ratios, not just absolute numbers
  • Heavy metals and detox capacity: what your hair can reveal
  • Why functional testing (HTMA, blood, stool) is crucial for women in perimenopause and menopause
  • The role of lifestyle, nutrition, and long-term habits in restoring balance
  • Common misconceptions about “adrenal fatigue” and thyroid health

Let’s dive in!
