Episode 311 DARIA MACHOLD: HTMA—How Hair Testing Uncovers Thyroid & Hormone Issues

Daria Machold is a certified HTMA practitioner and health coach specializing in ancestral lifestyles, with a particular passion for mitochondrial health.

Daria has served alongside Tara in Higher Coaching since 2020.

In this episode, Coach Daria dives into the power of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and mineral balancing. She explains how this simple hair test provides a three-month snapshot of mineral status and lifestyle, revealing hidden stress patterns, metabolic types, heavy metal burden, and key mineral ratios. Daria highlights how these insights uncover issues like adrenal fatigue, copper toxicity, and thyroid imbalances, while offering practical solutions on how to restore balance.
