Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis is used worldwide by clinicians, practitioners and scientists. In a single hair sample, the tissue is stable over time and provides several months of biochemical activity versus just a snapshot from blood work. Obtaining the sample is inexpensive and non-invasive and can be completed without medical intervention. HTMA testing identifies so many potential issues in the body. Lisa refers to minerals as the foundation of the home that need to be kept in check to make sure “the house is strong and stable.” HTMA testing along with bloodwork from your client’s doctor can give a practitioner a clearer picture of protocol development.

This is the next level, advanced practitioner course. This was originally offered as a one-time-a-year-only live course—and is now available as a fully self-paced course featuring 6 in-depth recorded classes (3 hours each).
All sessions were professionally recorded and housed on Lisa’s self-paced learning platform, where registrants receive full access upon enrollment.
This course, taught by Lisa, is only available through the Institute of Holistic Nutrition and is not offered through any other holistic nutrition program.
Holistic Nutritionists or alternative Natural Health professionals from any school or program are welcome to join, provided they have completed Lisa Pitel-Killah’s Level 1 HTMA Course (a prerequisite). IHN has been partnering with Lisa Pitel-Killah’s Clinical HTMA Academy since 2019. It become increasingly popular, selling out every time we ran, and made the decision to make it more accommodating for many more practitioners.
Biochemical, physical, and emotional stressors deplete the body of essential nutrients. In stages and over time, chronic illness may develop. The Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) lab test quantifies deficiencies or excesses in essential mineral levels, and identifies toxic heavy metals of concern. Not only that the report shows an individual’s unique metabolic status, stress levels, hormone levels, and blood sugar balance, as well as the functioning status of their adrenals, and thyroid. By addressing and beginning with mineral balance clinicians have the support they need for clients to erase debilitating symptoms and revitalize cellular metabolism.
• 6 RECORDED training sessions with Lisa Pitel-Killah, each 3 hours in length, featuring detailed teaching and answers to clinical questions submitted by practitioners

Yes and more. Absolutely loved it. Level 1 is so thorough and informative. I would say definitely to do it! Highly recommend this course, it is very well put together. And if it something they want to use in their practice it is a great tool!
The material was excellent. HTMA helps to paint an excellent picture of the overall state off the body and I would highly recommend it. 10 out of 10!
The course offered a great deal of information, and was well presented.
An excellent tool to complement client intake, assess mineral balance and prioritize which supplements to implement in a protocol.
Very informative course. I learned a lot about minerals and how they impact the body. I didn’t fully realize the importance of them (or of their deficiency/excess) until taking it. Thank you for putting this together, Lisa!
Just a lot of information for a short amount of time, but it was great! A lot of ah-ha moments!!! I give it a 10 out of 10.
Lisa is an amazing teacher, she’s so knowledgeable, you will learn so much.
It was what I expected and then some! I felt the course material covered a lot of great information and Lisa’s delivery was easy to follow. Great content, reasonable time commitment, awesome instructor and extremely valuable/application information to further your practice!
