Summary
Are You Menstrual?
We are continuing our minerals series and expanding on one particular part of the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)--metabolic type. Our metabolic type gives us insight into nervous system balance and the stage of stress our bodies are in. This is helpful information to know on a healing journey to better understand what nutrients you need more of and what stress management activities may be best for you.
In this episode, we discuss where metabolic typing came from, the difference between a fast and slow metabolic type, and what the different subtypes are.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Amanda, women's health dietitian. And I'm Emily, nutritional therapy practitioner. |
| 0:06.3 | And this is the RU menstrual podcast, where we help you navigate the confusing world of women's hormones |
| 0:11.2 | and teach you how to have healthy periods. Each week, we will be diving into a different topic on women's |
| 0:16.6 | health and sharing our perspective using nutrition, female physiology, and metabolic health. |
| 0:21.4 | Our goal is to help you wait through conflicting health information and empower you on your |
| 0:25.5 | healing journey. We hope you enjoy it. |
| 0:42.9 | Last episode, we walked you guys through a breakdown of the macrominerals and the ratios that you can see on your hair test for mineral status. But this week, we're going to be |
| 0:47.6 | covering one specific part of the HTML or the hair tissue mineral analysis. And that is going to |
| 0:53.8 | be the metabolic type or the oxidation state. |
| 0:57.8 | This can kind of be a confusing part for some people just because there are different ways of doing |
| 1:03.9 | things when it comes to metabolic type. For example, some people talk about eating certain foods or |
| 1:09.3 | eating a certain way based on your metabolic type. |
| 1:11.9 | But we're going to share with you our perspective on why metabolic type or oxidation state, which |
| 1:17.2 | those two terms are interchangeable. So if you hear one, we just mean the other and vice versa. |
| 1:22.5 | What they mean when we're looking at a hair test and why we think it's important based on what it says about you |
| 1:28.8 | and the state of stress you're currently in. But if you want to look at a hair test, you can Google |
| 1:35.5 | image T-E-I-H-T-M-A. I'm going to say that again, it's T-E-I-H-T-M-A to see what the hair test |
| 1:43.6 | looks like and your metabolic type section in the hair |
| 1:46.8 | test, just so you can follow along with us as we talk about it. Yeah, and it's at the top right. |
| 1:51.3 | You should see it. I'm sure if someone has done a hair test, if you have yours, you can just |
| 1:55.1 | look at that. And we're going to go through this mainly because it's it's kind of like our first part of the |
| 2:01.8 | test we review with our clients that were like, what kind of stage of stress are you in, right? |
