What You Can Learn About Your Thyroid On...

AMANDA MONTALVO
About this episode

In this episode, I am breaking down how you can learn about your thyroid health on a hair tissue mineral analysis or HTMA. The HTMA is my favorite test to assess how well our bodies are able to use thyroid hormone and is a great way to get the full picture of thyroid health beyond blood labs. The bonus episode this week goes through all of my favorite assessment tools for thyroid health including HTMA, optimal thyroid blood ranges, basal body temperature, and using your symptoms to measure progress. You can access this bonus on patreon.com/hormonehealingrd

As always, this episode is for informational purposes only. Please talk with your healthcare provider before making any changes.

This episode covers:

  • The difference between HTMAs versus thyroid blood labs
  • How to assess thyroid function and hormone use using an HTMA
  • How minerals can affect your thyroid function
