Functional & Hair Testing at NonToxU

🌿 Guided, Personalized, and Never One-Size-Fits-All

I’m Karen Stein, CHC, CPHC, a Certified Health Coach, Certified Myers Detox Coach, Certified NES Bioenergetics Practitioner, and Certified Pregnancy Health Coach.

Think of me as your private, concierge-style guide — here to educate, support, and walk with you step by step toward better energy, system-wide balance, and overall wellness.

With over 15 years of experience, I began by specializing in using Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) to create personalized programs that help optimize health and wellness potential by looking at Mineral Balances and Heavy Metals. New cutting-edge technology has now expanded hair testing to also include panels for plasticizers such as BPA, BPS and Phthalates, and many Pesticides including Glyphosate.

Functional Testing affords broad spectrum views of gut health, hormone balance, genetics and so much more.

I offer a more supportive approach to testing. The right testing can be incredibly powerful — but choosing tests on your own can feel overwhelming. That’s why testing at NonToxU is always guided and consult-based.

Rather than offering a long list of labs to select from, we decide together which testing makes sense for you, based on your history, symptoms, and goals.

🌿 Hair Mineral & Heavy Metal Analysis (HTMA)

Get insight into mineral balances and heavy metal accumulations with Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis — a longer-term assessment that guides personalized wellness strategies.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis offers a longer-term view of what your body has been storing and managing — including nutritional minerals and toxic heavy metals.

Unlike blood (which shows what’s present right now) or urine (which shows what’s being excreted), HTMA reflects months of exposure and status, giving us insights that help shape personalized protocols.

HTMA can be especially helpful for identifying patterns related to energy, hormones, detoxification, metabolism, and overall resilience.

People explore this testing when experiencing:

• Low energy / immune challenges

• Anxiety, depression, or mood imbalance

• Brain fog, difficulty concentrating

• Skin issues, sensitivities, or allergies

• Difficulty with weight maintenance

• Hormonal, thyroid, or metabolic concerns

• Digestive issues or slow detox pathways

🌿 Testing with Guidance

Testing is paired with education, interpretation, and personalized recommendations — because results without context don’t create meaningful change.
