What Can A Hair Analysis Reveal?
Do you have?
• Headaches
• Depression/Anxiety
• Digestive Disturbances
• Thyroid Imbalance
• Allergies
First of all, what is a hair analysis and why would you want one? Hair analysis is an invaluable screening tool which allows a correct program of diet and supplementation to be designed for each individual’s specific needs.
Who needs one? Anyone who is found ill and no explanation can be found, or when the cause seems to be found but the therapy is not wholly effective. Hair analysis opens up a whole new vista for the solving of your own particular problem by recognizing your biochemical individuality. Even if you are experiencing a severe problem, abnormal changes in body chemistry and nutritional deficiencies may result in early, subtle changes in the body such as: white spots in fingernails which can indicate a possible zinc deficiency, longitudinal ridging in nails can indicate an iron deficiency, and brittle hair and nails can suggest calcium and copper imbalance, to name a few possibilities.
Trace mineral analysis is a test which measures the mineral content of your hair. Mineral content of the hair reflects the mineral content of the body’s tissues. If a mineral deficiency or excess exists in the hair, it usually indicates a mineral deficiency or excess within the body. We test for minerals because minerals are the sparkplugs of life. They are involved in almost all enzyme reactions within the body. Without enzyme activity, life ceases to exist.
What happens if there are mineral imbalances within the body? A multitude of conditions can result such as: depression, hypoglycemia, hyperactivity, headaches, hypertension, arthritis, hair loss, anemia, thyroid disturbance, digestive disturbances, diabetes, musculo-skeletal disorders, cardiovascular disease, emotional problems and allergies.
What can be some causes of a mineral imbalance? Improper diet, such as excessive intake of refined carbohydrates and sugars, strict vegetarian diets or other exclusive diets. Taking vitamins and minerals which are not compatible with your current body chemistry can also be a cause of mineral imbalance along with: medications, birth control pills, stress, accumulation of toxic metals from the environment, job or hobbies, and inheritance of mineral patterns from parents.
If you are interested in creating a more balanced inner body which will ultimately reflect on your outer self, take the opportunity to identify your mineral patterns that could be preventing you from living your optimal life for you and your family.

Dr. Sechler received her Bachelors Degree in Nursing from the University of Oklahoma in 1988. She spent the next 15 years serving a diverse population of clients from infants to the elderly in various settings with the majority of time in Emergency Departments in Oklahoma, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. In 2000, she received her Masters Degree in Nursing. She spent the next two years practicing with a holistic physician in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where she learned energy medicine and balancing the mind and body.
At this junction of her career, she started to see true health was more than symptom suppression and decided to take her health and career to the next level. In 2006, she received her doctorate from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, and opened a holistic wellness clinic in Hampton Illinois where she is now utilizing the framework of the emotional, structural, toxin and biochemical components to healing.
She utilizes a tailored wellness program for each person who chooses to embrace wellness and implements a core of healing elements to their care. The results she is seeing and sharing with her clients have been amazing and continue to improve. She utilizes nutritional testing, NET (Neuro Emotional Technique), TBM (Total Body Modification), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), and the Lifeline Technique to aid the mind and body to heal. Quantum Techniques (www.quantumtechniques.com) has now been an invaluable addition to this vast paradigm of healing. True healing comes from within and we are all capable of healing. It is having the willingness to look at ourselves in the mirror and work with practitioners who can unlock those elements that in the past have prevented healing. As an energy practitioner for Quantum Techniques, Dr. Jenny works outside of the role of a licensed chiropractor. I challenge you to take the next step and embrace the journey into vibrant health!
