Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)

Your body tells a story. HTMA helps you read it.

HTMA is a non-invasive functional test that analyzes a small hair sample to provide insights into your mineral balance, metabolism, and stress response. Unlike standard blood tests that capture a single moment in time, HTMA reveals long-term patterns—giving us a clearer picture of what’s really happening beneath the surface.

HTMA Helps Identify:

  • Mineral imbalances that may be affecting your energy, digestion, and hormones.

  • Heavy metal exposure and how it’s impacting your health.

  • Your metabolic function and stress response.

With these insights, I create a customized nutrition and lifestyle plan to support your body’s unique needs.

Why HTMA

Unlike standard testing, HTMA provides a comprehensive look at long-term mineral trends and toxic metal exposure—helping to uncover deeper imbalances that may not show up in bloodwork. This allows me to pinpoint key imbalances that may be affecting:

  • Digestion – Minerals play a critical role in stomach acid production, enzyme function, and nutrient absorption.

  • Hormones – Key minerals support thyroid and adrenal function.

  • Energy – Minerals fuel cellular energy production and support blood sugar balance.

  • Metabolism – Understanding your metabolic type helps determine your ideal nutrition approach.

  • Stress Resilience – HTMA shows how chronic stress may be depleting essential minerals, affecting recovery and overall wellness.

Who Can Benefit

HTMA is valuable for anyone looking to understand their body on a deeper level, especially if you:

Have Unexplained Symptoms
Fatigue, digestive issues, mood swings, or hormone struggles without clear answers.

Want a Truly Personalized Approach
Optimize your nutrition and wellness plan based on real data.

Are Focused on Preventive Care
Address imbalances before they lead to bigger health concerns.

Feel Stuck Despite Doing “All the Right Things”

Please note that HTMA is a functional assessment tool, not a diagnostic test. It is used for informational purposes to support a root cause wellness approach.
