Our Approach To Personalized Health
Access To Your Health Data
We believe you have the right to accessible, affordable, reliable information about your health status. The current healthcare system is structured on reacting to health issues, providing a diagnosis, and managing symptoms. We want to flip the script. Our approach is preventative, enabling you to live a longer, healthier life.
Biological & Human Intelligence
The human body communicates an incredible amount of information if you listen. By making sense of what’s happening within your unique individual body, we can begin to understand what biological systems need help and what precisely can be done to feel better, daily.
Better Health Doesn’t Happen Overnight
We aren’t about masking your symptoms with quick fixes only for them to pop up again in a year. We focus on balancing your nutrients, detoxifying toxic waste and heavy metals, reducing inflammation, supporting your brain health, rebuilding your gut microbiome, and living a long, joyful, healthful life. The results are vast - restful sleep, sustained energy, balanced hormones, optimal digestion and elimination, stable blood sugar levels, healthy skin and hair, and so much more - but it takes time to rebalance.
Our bodies are made up of cells.
Over seventy-five trillion of them.
Cells build upon one another to form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form bodily systems. For our organs and systems (and ultimately our entire bodies) to function properly, our cells must first function properly. Everything that happens in our bodies begins on a cellular level.
Why Your Hair Holds The Secret To Better Health
Reveals Mineral Levels and Metabolic Activity in Your Cells
Your health depends on key mineral levels inside your cells, as they activate the vitamins and enzymes to fuel your body. Blood tests measure levels outside cells, and the two are often not related. Did you know most magnesium is stored inside cells, whereas less than 2% is stored in blood? This means blood is a poor indicator of your magnesium levels.
Detects Hidden Imbalances
Most health concerns are associated with a particular balance of minerals. Adjusting those minerals and their associated vitamin levels is often the most critical factor to restoring better health. You can have a normal blood test and still have hidden cellular mineral imbalances that are revealed in a hair test.
Detects Toxic Exposures
The body needs to keep your blood pure and uncontaminated, so it works to quickly remove toxic heavy metals and instead stores them deep within your cells, which can be revealed in your hair. By acting as a receptacle for heavy metals, hair tests will effectively pick up metal toxicity.
Stable, Long Term Reading
Your hair provides a long-term record of nutrients and toxins affecting your vitamin and mineral balances and overall metabolic activity. On the other hand, blood tests are subject to minute by minute fluctuations based on activity and food eaten most recently.
The Honed Difference
-
lifestyle surveys
-
Relies on self-reported symptoms vs. real data
-
Doesn’t address the root cause of nutrient imbalances or health concerns
-
Generalized nutritional support
-
-
blood tests
-
Measures extracellular mineral levels (outside your cells) which doesn’t reveal hidden vitamin or mineral imbalances
-
Unable to reveal toxic heavy metals
-
Subject to minute by minute fluctuations based on activity, emotions, and food eaten recently
-
Invasive needle or finger prick. Sample measured in viles or mililiters
-
-
honed metabolic test kit
-
Measures mineral levels and ratios inside your cells for a holistic understanding of what is affecting your metabolism
-
Reveals ongoing metal toxicity as cells act as a receptacle for heavy metals
-
Provides a long-term, stable reading of nutrient and toxin intake
-
Non-invasive, requires a mere tablespoon of hair

The Modern Food System
The modern food system has led to a decline in the nutritional value of many foods.
Mapping your results to personalized nutrients
Food and supplements help your body function and repair itself, but no two bodies are the same. Here are a few ways your results can impact your recommendations:
Slow Metabolism
Goal of your recommendations: Bring balance to essential minerals such as phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and calcium to feed energy into your cells at a more sustainable rate, providing consistent energy levels and a calmer state of mind.
Osteoarthritis
Goal of your recommendations: Prevent an increase of calcium tissue levels which can result in hypertrophic osteoarthritic development.
Hypothyroidism
Goal of your recommendations: Bring balance to essential minerals such as potassium and calcium, necessary in sufficient quantity to sensitize the tissues to the effects of thyroid hormones.
