In this podcast I chat with Andrew Whitfield-Cook from Fx Medicine about hair mineral analysis and how I use it as part of my standard consultation and assessment process.
I share the value I find in using hair mineral analysis as a clinical tool to craft individualised treatment plans for a range of conditions from thyroid disorders, children’s health, mental health and toxicity.
I use specific patient cases to illustrate how and why I find hair mineral analysis so crucial in helping my clients achieve wellness.
