S03E32. Unlock Clearer Skin with Hair Mineral Testing: Why HTMA Could Be the Key You’re Missing

Struggling with acne or unexplained skin issues?

In this episode of The Clear Skin Chronicles, Katie and Cris explore how Hair Trace Mineral Analysis (HTMA) can uncover hidden imbalances sabotaging your skin health. Learn how long-term mineral and stress patterns revealed through HTMA go far beyond what blood tests can show—and why this matters for chronic skin conditions like acne.

Katie and Cris break down how HTMA works, how it compares to traditional testing, and why proper interpretation by a trained practitioner is essential. They also dive into connected issues like gut health, food intolerances, and mold exposure that often play a role in persistent skin concerns.

If you’ve tried everything and still haven’t solved your skin struggles, this episode might reveal the missing piece you’ve been looking for.

Key points in this episode:

• It is important to have a skilled coach interpret HTMA results and guide health interventions, much like how top athletes rely on their coaches for expert advice.
• HTMAs offer a long-term view of mineral and stress patterns, providing insights that a standard blood test cannot, advocating its use in functional medicine.
• While HTMA is exceptional for certain insights, complementing it with other tests like GI maps or Dutch tests offers a fuller picture, particularly for complex issues.
