Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) offers a window into your body's mineral balance and health status. With a simple hair sample, uncover insights to optimize your well-being. Explore HTMA for a healthier you!
Minerals are literally the “spark plugs” for every function in the body!
They act as cofactors for thousands of enzyme reactions for every system, they are essential for the contraction and relaxation of every muscle, they facilitate transfer of nutrients across cell membranes. Nothing can get in or out of the cell without minerals, and so much more!
With minerals being so foundational to the way our bodies function, most symptoms and conditions can truly be traced back to some sort of mineral imbalance.
The information we receive from your first hair test is an excellent baseline into how your body is doing at the cellular level. HTMA results show vital, bio-individual details on digestion, blood sugar, thyroid, adrenals, energy levels, metabolism, hormones, detoxification and stress levels. It also shows heavy metal toxicity.

Here’s How Nutritional Therapy and HTMA Can Help You!
Your Nutrition Needs
You’ll see what’s going with your metabolism, and know what foods are best to support either speeding it up or slowing it down. You’ll also learn what foods to focus on for certain nutrients based on your mineral imbalances.
Perimenopause / Menopause
There are 5 very important minerals to be looking at in this stage of life and that is magnesium, calcium, potassium, sodium and iron. As the ovaries produce less and less hormones we become reliant on the adrenal glands to produce hormones and if they are struggling, then symptoms of fatigue, hot flashes, anxiety, mood swings and depression will intensify. Adequate minerals and mineral balance is required for the adrenals to produce hormones. Minerals in the right ratio are needed to get thyroid hormones into the cells. When this is off the metabolism can slow down causing weight gain, hair loss, dry skin, brittle nails and digestion issues (bloating, constipation, loose stools).
Your Mineral Deficiencies & Imbalances
You’ll see what minerals are out of balance individually, but also in tandem with each other because certain mineral pairs work together. Every mineral has an impact on every other mineral, so this is really valuable information.
Your Adrenal and Thyroid Health
It goes beyond hormones circulating in blood to what your cells are able to receive. Hair analysis is the rest of the picture when it comes to recovering from HPA axis dysregulation and hypothyroidism. If your hormones can’t get into your cells effectively, you need to know so you can do something about it.
Your Heavy Metals and Detox Needs
HTMA is a great screening tool for heavy metals, including, mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, aluminum, and nickel. HTMA is a reliable indicator of toxicity and is helpful in monitoring the detoxification process.
Your Mental Health
Anxiety, depression, brain, fog, ADD, ADHD, PMS, and other mood disorders are often directly connected to missing minerals and excess metals. Magnesium, for example, when the body is sufficient, you can experience symptoms of anxiety, irritability, hyperkinetic behavior ADHD. Mercury, a heavy metal affects your memory, mood and thyroid, and can contribute to depression.
FAQs
-
When we test the blood for minerals, the result is reflective of what is being transported at the exact moment in time. The blood has a strong desire for homeostasis, so mineral levels in blood are generally maintained at the expense of the tissues. Minerals will be robbed from the tissues in order to maintain homeostasis in the blood, and excess minerals are deposited into the tissue to get them out of the blood.

Really everyone! If you struggle with any of these symptoms HTMA is a great analysis to get done:
Fatigue, diminished stamina, depression, anxiety, irritability, nervousness, weight gain, weight fluctuations, constipation, loose stools, bloating, muscle twitching, restless legs, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, low blood sugar, sugar cravings, excessive sweating, inability to sweat, racing heart, allergies, chronic infections, cold hands and feet, dry skin, PMS, perimenopause and menopause symptoms.
HTMA gives us an overall picture of why you are dealing with these symptoms at the cellular level. We use the information from the test, along with a health assessment and a nutritional assessment questionnaire to make a custom protocol with diet, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations.
