Support is critical for a successful program

Individualized approach to an effective Detox…

This consultation uses the Hair Mineral Analysis as the foundation. From this assessment you will learn:

• Metabolic Type (the exact fuel/food your body needs for optimal energy, vitality and metabolism)
• Stage of stress
• Mineral Balance which gives you information of the functional effectiveness of your adrenal, thyroid and digestive system
• Presence of Toxic Metals

The Hair Mineral Analysis (HMA) provides the information for a comprehensive nutritional balancing program. The information from this analysis reflects a Whole Person approach to your stress:

• Mental, emotional patterns, personality  characteristics, how you handle stress and your stress level
• Dietary patterns: are you getting enough protein, are carbohydrates out of balance
• How your body adapts and compensates when stressed
• Everyone has a unique biochemistry and solutions need to be tailored to this individuality

Using this report as the basis for your consultation, Cynthia Howard RN, CNC, PhD helps you establish a rebalancing program for the next year or even 2.  The first report establishes your baseline. You are encouraged to have follow up reports every 3-4 months for the first year. Consultations are not always required and the fee schedule is lower for follow up reports. Your nutritional balancing program is based on your results and aimed at setting you up with Diet and Lifestyle suggestions designed specifically for your needs. Once you know your Metabolic Type, you then know the ratio of protein, carbs and fats your body needs. Seeing where you are in the Stress Cycle helps to determine how much support your adrenals need. Very often in this rebalancing process, you can neutralize anger, irritability and overreactive nature.   Using a combination of supplements, lifestyle changes and stress management, we can restore your “bounce” and get you on your way to a vibrant life!

How is this possible?

Hair analysis is a soft tissue mineral analysis to detect mineral levels in the hair. Minerals deposit in the cells and hair over a 2-3 month window. This is not an assessment of the mineral content of your body. It is a screening test and allows for a reference of what is going on in the body.   By evaluating ratios and patterns you can learn alot about the metabolic activity of your body, your stress levels and toxic metals. Toxic metals deposit in soft tissues and do not stay in the blood or show up in urine. Heavy toxic metals contribute to many disease processes as the metals interfere with vital processes at the cellular level. 

Your body is an energy generating machine!

You may not feel this way but your body is designed to generate the energy your body needs to fulfill the demands of your body. Your body uses glucose, amino acids, fatty acids and converts this to ATP – the fuel used at the cellular level for energy. This report reflects your body’s ability to create energy. For you to have the energy you need your cells need to be able to produce this energy and sustain it. Having the raw ingredients depends on diet, digestive health and other factors.  One indication of health is your ability to bounce back from stress. Your body adapts and compensates based on the interaction of minerals in the process of generating sufficient energy. Over time your body continues to adapt and without sufficient nutrients, your body breaks down, ultimately leading to disease. This report helps you see to what degree your body is effective in generating the needed energy. This information provides the basis for a tailored nutritional regimen and Wellness Program.

Cynthia Howard RN, CNC, PhD has worked with people for the past 8 years using Metabolic Typing and HMA.  Her practice with Stress Management, having worked with thousands of people spans 20 years.  Her interest is to provide a comprehensive solution to naturally regain, reclaim vibrant energy for a fulfilled life.

Documentation

• 1972, Dr. Paul Eck, pioneered Hair analysis
• 1979, EPA, 300 page study, concluded that  hair is a “meaningful and representative tissue for biological monitoring for most of toxic metals.”
• 1991, Dr. L. Wilson, Nutritional Balancing and Hair Mineral Analysis

While your body knows exactly what to do to fulfill its mission of generating energy – it needs raw ingredients.  Chronic stress not only robs the body of many of these nutrients, using them up faster, it also changes appetites and sets you up for a diet of fast and overly processed food. This sets you up for a deficiency in the minerals and vitamins your body desperately needs to generate fuel.  Here is the vicious cycle. Fatigue – caffeine – sugar – fat – increased sluggishness and more fatigue. At some point you cannot speed up anymore to catch up and people often lose the motivation for healthier choices.

This evaluation includes:

• Saliva test for Cortisol, 4 x throughout the day (7a, 11a, 5p, 11p approximate times for each saliva specimen). Cortisol levels fluctuate throughout the day so having this test span the day gives you more information than a spot check.
• Hair Mineral Analysis, the hair readings represent an average of mineral accumulation (rather than DAILY fluctuations) over a 3 month period. Minerals are essential for vital functions especially evaluating your body’s ability to generate and regulate energy production.
• 90 minutes with Dr. Cynthia to review results, set up your program and review an effective stress strategy.

We mail you the test kits once you purchase the Consultation. We schedule your phone appointment when the results are in. It takes approximately 5-7 days once you mail the specimen (not counting weekends of holidays). We receive the reports and provide you with the explanation as well as the report via email at the time of your consultation.

Change your reaction to stress and you change your life…

Today the stress factor plays into 90% of visits to physicians and changes one’s ability to communicate effectively. When the stress response interferes with your work, profession, business or family – it is time to take action. Any type of plan begins with defining where you are now. This Consultation will provide you with insight into yourself and the “stressed” you. This sets up a foundation of strategies to manage stress while unhooking you from the fast triggers of the stress response.

You will take the MBTI, Myers Briggs and receive a Stress Management Report.  We have an online access through which you take this assessment. We will schedule your 1:1 phone consultation. It is recorded for your review later. You will also receive a report on the “stressed you.” 

In this session  you have the opportunity to learn from your reactions in order to shift away from a reactive pattern to stress and embrace your ideal, authentic nature.

Client Feedback:

“I am so glad I made the appointment and followed through. Right after our session, I was faced with  one of my “trigger” scenarios and instead of flying off the handle and looking like a fool, I handled it beautifully. My colleague even noticed and said, “Looks like you are headed in the right direction.” It really feels good to understand myself better and to have this foundation. I highly recommend Dr. Cynthia. She is right on with her assessment.”
