Hair Analysis: Finding Out What's Going on Inside the Body the Safe, Easy Way



Most of us feel a bit queasy in getting any type of test and certainly an invasive procedure. Yet one of the simplest, effective methods to find out what’s going on nutritionally in one’s body is through a painless, quick procedure: the cutting of a few strands of hair, about 1&1/2 inches in length. In Hair Analysis this hair is tested, with the results showing one’s internal metabolic environment, toxic metal exposure and accumulation, and mineral content.

The importance of knowing what is going on within our bodies is obvious, but the more one knows of the crucial interconnectability between things like metabolic rate, our body’s mineral content and health, both physical and mental, the more imperative it becomes to examine what’s happening within us and follow a program that guides us to optimal health.

For instance, a low level of magnesium has been associated with an increase in heart attacks, anxiety and nervousness. A deficiency in potassium can result in muscular weakness, depression, and lethargy. Excess sodium results in hypertension, but too little sodium creates an imbalance in health. And so on.

At Health Connections, the oldest alternative health center in Philadelphia, you will receive the following from Hair Analysis: 1) A complete evaluation and detailed discussion of your metabolic type, current mineral level and ratios, and their impact on your body chemistry. 2) Diet recommendation based on food allergy indicators, to include a list of what foods you should be taking and which ones you should avoid. 3) Supplement and vitamin recommendations based upon your age, sex, metabolic type, mineral patterns and specific needs as seen on the tissue mineral analysis.

Contact the Health Connections Center to set up an appointment for this painless and important procedure: 215-627-6000.
