The courses taught you the theory. But you're still stuck at the protocol.
You've invested in the education. You've studied with Kendra Perry, Rick Fisher, Rick Malter, Test Don't Guess, or programs like them. You can spot the oxidation type, read the ratios, and recognize the patterns.
​
And yet — when a real client's chart is in front of you, the questions start:
-
Where do I actually start with this person?
-
How do I build a protocol when they won't buy custom powders, or can't afford them?
-
What do I use instead of Vykon Custom — and how do I dose it?
-
How do I know I'm prioritizing the right thing first?
-
Am I even doing this correctly?
Reading a chart and building an individualized protocol are two completely different skills. Almost no program teaches the second one. That's the gap this mentorship was built to close.
A mentorship built entirely around protocol creation
​
I've stripped out all the foundational teaching (you've done that) and rebuilt this as a lean, applied, 1:1 program. Six weeks. Real cases. Your own clients. By the end, you'll build a protocol from scratch — on your own — with my feedback confirming you've got it.
​
No theory modules. No mineral basics. Just the thing you actually came for.
What if for three weeks, you had a private call with someone who could look at your client's HTMA results with you?
​
Not a Facebook post. Not a group webinar. A real conversation — your cases, your questions, your practice.
​
That's the difference between knowing HTMA and being able to use it.
How It Works
Weeks 1-3 — Watch Me Build (pre-recorded, 2 protocols per week, 6 total)
Six full protocol builds across different client types — a child with ADHD, a woman with hypothyroidism, infertility, postpartum depletion, chronic fatigue, and more. For each case you'll watch me work through my exact process: what I flag on the health history form, how I read the chart, how I choose my top priorities, and — most importantly — how I build the protocol using Vykon and individual supplements, nutrition, lifestyle, and nervous system support.
Every video is yours to rewatch as many times as you need.
​
Weeks 4-6 — Build With Me (live 1:1 calls)​
Now we work together on live calls. You bring your own client cases and we build the protocols side by side. No clients yet? I'll provide practice cases so you keep sharpening the skill. This is where it clicks, with me right there to guide your thinking. Each call will be recorded so you can go back and rewatch as many times as needed. HYou will also get my raw document of my notes so you can see my thought process, recommendations, and more.
​
The Capstone
In your final week, you'll receive a sample client and build a complete protocol entirely on your own. On our last call, we review your work together, line by line. You'll finish this mentorship knowing, not hoping, that you can do this independently. ​​​​
​
​
​
The HTMA Practitioner Membership​
6 weeks. 6+ modules. 3 private 1:1 calls.
​
​​
This is not a self-paced course you sit through alone. It is a structured mentorship built around the direct work we do together on your cases.​
​
By the end of 6 weeks, you will know how to pick up results, know immediately what you're looking at, and build a complete individualized protocol without second-guessing yourself.
​
What's Included:
-
6 recorded protocol demonstrations across different demographics (including children & teens)

Supplement dosage recommendation charts (by mineral, age, and demographic)
-
Vykon-to-alternative swap guide (individual supplement equivalents by brand/form, with budget tiers)
-
Food-first mineral repletion guide (top food sources per mineral + sample meal frameworks)
-
Nervous system support quick reference (practices matched to oxidation/stress patterns)
-
Health history form red-flags checklist (what to flag before you ever look at the chart)
-
Protocol sequencing map (what to start first, what to wait on, when to retest)
-
Retest comparison worksheet (how to read progress between tests and adjust)
-
The cases we'll actually work through together
Not generic examples. Real clinical presentations pulled from practice.
​
Candida & gut infections · Copper toxicity · Postpartum depression · Perinatal mood disorders · PMDD & hormonal cycling · Fertility & preconception · Thyroid patterns · Chronic fatigue · Adrenal burnout · Pediatric presentations · Hormonal imbalances · Fast oxidizer & slow oxidizer patterns · Four Lows · Heavy metal burden
​
Pediatric HTMA is one of the most underserved areas in this space. I see practitioners get stuck on kids' panels constantly — the reference ranges are different, the emotional presentation is different, and the protocol has to account for growth and development in a way most adult-focused programs never touch. We will spend real time on this.
This program is for you if...
-
You've completed at least one HTMA course and understand minerals and results-reading
-
You feel confident reading a chart or the education behind mineral imbalances but freeze when it comes time to build the protocol
-
You want practical options beyond Vykon Customs for clients who prefer capsules, individual supplements, food, or a smaller budget
-
You learn best by watching an expert work, then doing it yourself with guidance
-
You want to serve your clients with confidence instead of second-guessing every recommendation
This program is NOT for you if...
-
You're brand new to HTMA and haven't done any mineral training yet (start with a foundational course first, then come back)
-
You're looking for done-for-you protocols rather than the skill to build your own
Hi! I'm KP Richards
​
I built this program because I kept walking out of courses with the theory and none of the confidence. I've studied under some of the best in this space and I'm grateful for every program I took. But I kept noticing the same gap. Lots of mineral science. Very little real-world case application. And almost no support once the modules were done. ​​
​
There is a layer of HTMA that most programs don't teach. It's the emotional layer. The way calcium hardens and protects. The way magnesium softens and flows. The masculine and feminine nature of minerals and what that means for your clients' patterns, symptoms, and healing.
That's what I want to share. And I want to share it the way it actually sticks — by working through real panels together until you don't need me anymore.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to already know HTMA to join?
You need some foundation — even a beginner one. If you have taken an introductory HTMA course or have started using HTMA in your practice and want to go deeper, this is designed for you. If you have never encountered HTMA before, I would recommend starting with the basics first and then joining a future cohort.
Will I be able to order HTMA tests for my clients through this program?
Ordering access depends on your credentials and location. During your intake call we will talk through what lab access looks like for you and your practice specifically.
When do the live calls happen?
We schedule your three 1:1 calls (weeks 4-6) at times that work for you, including across time zones. International practitioners are very welcome.
What if I have already taken another HTMA course?
That is actually ideal. Most practitioners who join this program have already taken at least one HTMA course and still feel like they are missing the clinical confidence to work through complex cases. This is exactly what we address — going from understanding the theory to applying it with real practitioners in real time.
Is there a payment plan?
Yes. You can pay in full at $1,450 or choose 3 monthly payments Payment plans are processed through Practice Better.
How do I know if this is the right fit for me?
How much time do I need each week?
Plan for 2–3 hours per week for the modules for Weeks 1-3. For Weeks 4-6 we will meet for 60 minutes one time per week. Half of the program is self-paced, so you move through the material on your own schedule — but I do recommend staying consistent the first three weeks so we don't have to push your 1:1 calls back.
If you are a practitioner who wants to use HTMA with real clients, you have some existing foundation, and you want someone to actually work through cases with you rather than just teach you theory — this is the right fit. If you are not sure, email me at livelyrootedfwc@gmail.com and I will give you an honest answer.
What's the time commitment?
Is there support between calls?
To keep our times focused and high-value, everything happens live on our calls rather than through ongoing messaging. After you graduate, you'll have access to affordable alumni case reviews whenever you'd like extra support.
I am based outside the United States — can I still join?
Roughly 6 weeks. You watch the pre-recorded builds on your own schedule during Weeks 1-3, then we met for three live 1:1 calls in Weeks 4-6.
HAVE A QUESTION THAT WASN'T ANSWERED HERE? SEND US AN EMAIL!
Send us an email to livelyrootedfwc@gmail.com for additional questions so we can support you!
Yes. The program is fully virtual and open to practitioners internationally. TEI (Trace Elements Inc) ships internationally, and we will cover lab access for your region during your intake call.
