Today we are joined by Andre Lalonde to discuss Hair Trace Mineral Analysis (HTMA), and how it assists us in finding the root causes of your acne. HTMA allows us to see the balance or imbalances of minerals and heavy metals in your body over a period of up to 6 months. We discuss the significance of specific minerals in maintaining healthy skin.

Acne is a symptom of an underlying imbalance in the body. Andre emphasizes the role of cofactors in mineral utilization and overall health, important lifestyle factors that we should be aware of, and why jumping right into a liver detox isn’t recommended as an acne treatment.

This episode is packed with insights that you don’t want to miss!

In this episode, we discuss:

• Hair Trace Mineral Analysis
• The advantage of HTMA over blood testing
• Comprehensive Stool Analysis
• Heavy Metal Toxicity
• Mineral Imbalances Contributing to Acne
