Why minerals matter

What low minerals can feel like.

Low minerals don’t feel like a number on a lab report. They feel like your day. Here is what I hear most.

  • Magnesium

    can feel like

    • You wake at 2 or 3 a.m. and can’t fall back asleep.
    • Your legs cramp or twitch at night.
    • You feel tense and on edge.
  • Potassium

    can feel like

    • You wake up tired, even after a full night’s sleep.
    • Your energy drops hard in the afternoon.
    • Your muscles feel weak.
  • Sodium

    can feel like

    • You crave salty foods.
    • You feel dizzy when you stand up fast.
    • Stress wipes you out.
  • Calcium

    can feel like

    • Your muscles cramp or twitch.
    • You feel jumpy or nervous.
    • It’s hard to settle down at night.
  • Zinc

    can feel like

    • You seem to catch every cold.
    • Cuts and scrapes are slow to heal.
    • Food doesn’t taste the way it used to.
  • Copper & iron

    can feel like

    • You get out of breath on the stairs.
    • Your head feels foggy and you’re worn out.
    • Your hair is getting thinner.
  • Iodine & thyroid helpers

    can feel like

    • Your hands and feet are always cold.
    • Your skin feels dry.
    • You feel slow, even on a good day.

These feelings can have many causes, so they aren’t a diagnosis. A hair test shows which minerals are actually low, so you don’t have to guess.

Extra tests are always optional and never part of the package. Other tests Barbie may recommend

Only if it’s helpful: the package includes your HTMA and Functional Lab Panel. Occasionally, after you talk or after reviewing your results, Barbie may recommend an additional test, such as a thyroid panel or a GI-MAP, as an optional extra. Mold/mycotoxin testing and other specialty support may come up later if your case calls for it. These are not part of the package. Learn about the other tests Barbie may recommend.

Why your Functional Lab Panel matters.

HTMA and blood work answer different questions. One shows the longer pattern, the other shows what’s happening right now. Looking at both side by side is how Barbie builds your plan on the full picture instead of guesswork.

HTMA · Longer view

What your tissues have been doing

A small hair sample reflects tissue mineral patterns over roughly the last three months: your metabolic type, key mineral ratios, and how your body has been handling stress.

Blood · Right-now view

What’s circulating today

A fasting blood draw shows what’s moving through your bloodstream right now: how iron and copper are being carried, blood sugar and insulin, inflammation, key vitamins, and how your organs are working.

Together · Full picture

Pieces that only make sense side by side

  • The copper, iron, and vitamin A (retinol) relationship
  • Blood sugar, insulin, and metabolic health
  • Inflammation
  • Methylation (homocysteine and B12)
  • Liver, kidney, and electrolyte function

Why it matters: minerals don’t work alone. Iron can look fine on one test and low on another. Copper can build up in tissue while blood shows how much is actually bound and usable. Seeing both lets Barbie spot these patterns, review your numbers against functional (optimal) ranges and not only the standard ones, and recommend only what fits your body.

Every marker in your panel

14 tests in one blood draw, grouped by what they help us understand. Tap to see them all

Iron & copper balance

Iron, copper, and vitamin A work as a team. Ceruloplasmin (a copper-dependent protein) and retinol help your body move and use iron, so seeing all of them together shows whether iron is stored, moving, and usable. A single iron test can miss that.

  • Iron
  • TIBC
  • % saturation
  • Ferritin
  • Copper
  • Ceruloplasmin
  • Vitamin A (retinol)

Blood sugar & metabolism

Glucose is a snapshot, A1c reflects roughly the last three months, and fasting insulin and leptin show how hard your body is working to keep energy steady. Uric acid adds another metabolic clue.

  • Fasting glucose (CMP)
  • Hemoglobin A1c
  • Insulin (fasting)
  • Leptin
  • Uric acid

Inflammation & methylation

hs-CRP is a sensitive marker of general inflammation. Homocysteine and B12 offer a window into methylation, a process your body relies on for energy, detox, and mood chemistry.

  • hs-CRP
  • Homocysteine
  • Vitamin B12

Vitamins

Vitamin D works hand in hand with calcium and magnesium, so it helps Barbie read your HTMA calcium and magnesium patterns in context. Vitamin A and B12 round out the picture.

  • Vitamin D, 25-OH
  • Vitamin A (retinol)
  • Vitamin B12

Blood count

A complete blood count shows how your red cells carry oxygen and gives an overall look at your white cells and platelets. It’s helpful context for energy and iron status.

  • CBC with differential & platelets
  • Red & white blood cells
  • Hemoglobin
  • Hematocrit
  • Red cell indices
  • Platelets

Organ function & electrolytes

The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is a broad check of liver and kidney function, electrolytes, and protein status. It also gives a blood-side view of sodium, potassium, and calcium to compare with your HTMA.

  • Liver: ALT, AST, ALP, bilirubin
  • Kidney: BUN, creatinine, eGFR
  • Sodium, potassium, chloride, CO2
  • Calcium
  • Protein, albumin, globulin

Blood draw at a Quest Diagnostics location. Fasting required. Barbie sends your lab order, and you pick a Quest location near you.

Included in your $539 package. If Barbie recommends an additional test after reviewing your results, it’s an optional extra.

Educational review only. Your lab results are used to guide wellness recommendations, not to diagnose or treat any condition. Please share them with your physician as well.

FAQ

Good questions, plain answers.

Still have questions? That’s normal. Here are plain answers to the ones women ask most.

Is this medical care?

No. New Leaf Health provides educational wellness coaching. Barbie is a certified HTMA practitioner and health coach, not a medical doctor, and nothing here is a medical diagnosis or treatment. Keep working with your physician on any medical condition.

What happens after I buy?

Right away, you’ll get an email with links to the Whole Practice portal. There you’ll complete two questionnaires, the Intake Questionnaire and the Complete (Wellness) Questionnaire, plus a short contact information form. This detailed intake gives Barbie the full story behind your results. Then your HTMA kit arrives, you visit Quest for your Functional Lab Panel, and your results come to you by email.

What is HTMA?

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis is a non-invasive hair test that reflects longer-term mineral status — and, more importantly, how minerals relate to each other. Those ratios help reveal your metabolic type and how your body is handling stress.

How does the at-home test work?

After you complete your Whole Practice questionnaires, an HTMA kit is mailed to you. You collect a small hair sample and send it to the lab. Barbie also sends your Functional Lab Panel order for a fasting blood draw at a Quest Diagnostics location. When both results are ready, they arrive by email, Barbie walks you through them in plain language, and you receive your custom mineral plan, with a custom mineral blend made for you through Vykon.

What’s included, and what does it cost?

The New Leaf Mineral Reset is one package for $539. It includes a detailed intake through Whole Practice, your HTMA kit mailed to you, a Functional Lab Panel (blood draw at a Quest Diagnostics location), a written results report like the sample, a plain-language results review, your custom mineral plan, with a custom mineral blend made for you through Vykon (how custom blends work), and six months of support with check-ins and plan updates. Custom mineral blends are ordered separately and typically run $200 a month or less.

What if I already have recent blood work?

Fill out the good-fit form first so Barbie can look at what you have and talk through the best next step before you buy.

Can my young child do HTMA?

Yes. For children under 5 only, Barbie offers the Kids’ HTMA ($240): an HTMA hair test, a custom mineral plan for your child, and 6 months of support. Little ones usually start with HTMA only, so no blood draw is needed. Supplements and custom mineral blends are not included in this price.

Why both HTMA and a blood panel?

They answer different questions. HTMA shows tissue mineral patterns over roughly the last three months. Blood shows what’s circulating right now. Together they show how copper, iron, and vitamin A are working together, plus blood sugar and insulin, inflammation, methylation (homocysteine and B12), and organ function. That way your plan is built on the full picture instead of guesswork. See every marker in the panel.

The Functional Lab Panel is a fasting blood draw at a Quest Diagnostics location.

What about support after six months?

To keep your support going after 6 months, you’ll sign up for another 6 months and retest your minerals, so Barbie can see what’s changed and adjust your plan.

Are supplements included?

No. Supplements and custom mineral blends are not included in the package price. Recommended products come through Barbie’s Fullscript storefront, and custom mineral blends are typically $200/month or less. Barbie only recommends what fits your results.

Will I need any other testing?

Usually not. The package includes your HTMA and Functional Lab Panel. Occasionally, after you talk or after reviewing your results, Barbie may recommend an additional test, such as a thyroid panel or a GI-MAP, as an optional extra. Mold testing may come up later only if your case calls for it. It’s always your choice. Read about the other tests Barbie may recommend.

Who do you work with?

Men, women, and families — including children — from the comfort of home. Barbie intentionally keeps the number of people she works with personal and limited so she can walk closely with each one.

Where do I get recommended supplements?

Through Barbie’s Fullscript storefront (professional-grade brands; see Barbie’s favorites), or as a custom mineral blend when that’s the better fit.

You don’t have to keep feeling this way.
