Nourished Roots Apothecary
At Nourished Roots Apothecary, we use root-cause testing—starting with Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)—to uncover what’s really happening and guide you back into balance.
Who we help
I support women 40+ in reclaiming their vitality by addressing what conventional care overlooks
Chronic Stress & Nervous System Burnout
Individuals experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, poor sleep, brain fog, or constant “fight-or-flight”. We help uncover stress patterns and mineral imbalances that keep the nervous system stuck, then help to guide the body back into balance.
Hormone, Energy & Metabolic Imbalance
Those struggling with fatigue, PMS, weight resistance, thyroid-like symptoms, or low motivation. Using HTMA testing, we identify metabolic and mineral trends impacting hormones and energy production.
Complex & Chronic Symptoms
People navigating ADHD symptoms, autoimmune conditions, inflammation, detox challenges, or long-standing unexplained symptoms. Our root-cause approach supports detox pathways and foundational mineral balance for long-term healing.
What is HTMA testing?
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a non-invasive test that looks at the mineral and heavy metal content stored in your hair over time. Unlike bloodwork, which shows a snapshot of what’s happening in the moment, HTMA reveals long-term patterns in mineral balance, stress, and metabolism.
At The Wellness Studio, we use HTMA testing to help you understand why your body may feel out of balance—and what support it truly needs to restore harmony.
What HTMA Can Reveal
Essential mineral deficiencies and excesses
Heavy metal exposure and detox burden
Stress and adrenal patterns
Metabolic and energy trends
Mineral ratios that influence hormones and nervous system balance
These patterns help guide personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement support - no guesswork required.
How it works:
1.Collect a small hair sample at home (kit and instruction will be sent)
2. Mail it to our certified lab for analysis.
3. Meet with me for an in-depth, personalized results session
4.Receive a personalized plan to address root causes and move forward with confidence.
Meet Cristal
Holistic Practitioner and Holistic Nutritionist
I’m Cristal Howard, RN, Holistic Practitioner, Clinical Herbalist, and Ancestral Nutritionist with 27+ years inside healthcare. I know the system… and I know where it fails women.
Most midlife women I work with are exhausted, inflamed, emotionally raw, and told their labs are “normal.” They’re handed prescriptions while their bodies are screaming for nourishment, mineral balance, nervous system repair, and truth.
This isn’t a motivation problem. It’s not aging. And it’s not all in your head.
Dis-ease starts deeper… in chronic depletion, unprocessed stress, emotional wounds, spiritual disconnection, and a body that’s been overridden for decades.
I support women who are done being managed, medicated, and dismissed restore real vitality by addressing the root… food, minerals, hydration, hormones, emotions, and spirit.
No fixing. No numbing. No bypassing.
Just coming back online in your body… strong, clear, and uncontainable.
