HTMA Testing
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Testing
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a non-invasive test that measures the levels of minerals and trace elements in your hair. This powerful diagnostic tool provides insight into your body’s biochemistry, revealing imbalances and deficiencies that may be contributing to your health issues.
How will HTMA Testing help me?
Are all your labs "normal" ?
Your doctor says "nothing is wrong" but yet you don't feel quite right?
You would LOVE to feel better and make sure you are optimizing your health?
Are you unsure of whether or not the supplements you take are the right ones for you?
HTMA testing will tell you exactly where you have deficiencies in minerals that may be causing metabolism, thyroid, stress, adrenal, mid-life and blood sugar control symptoms.
Once I review your test results you will have a plan to help alleviate these symptoms so you can feel more like yourself and thrive!
The guessing game of what to eat and what supplements to take is over!
Plus, I can order ONE organic supplement that is made specifically for YOU that will have everything you need in it based on your real-time HTMA results. This is one area I am really excited about. Supplements and sourcing can be tricky and expensive, and this takes all the guesswork out of it.
Problems associated with mineral imbalances can include fatigue, muscle weakness or pain, digestion issues such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, stomach pains, chronically recurring infections, infertility, nausea, allergies and intolerances, multiple chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue syndrome, stress, depression, hormonal imbalances, anemia, thyroid problems and ADHD symptoms.
HTMA testing can identify the root causes of these symptoms and allow you to work towards alleviating the symptoms.

Why do I LOVE using HTMA Testing to guide your wellness journey?
One quick example on why I love it so much!
Surprisingly, blood tests only show about 0.3% of the actual Magnesium levels in your body. Whereas HTMA shows about 30-40% since it is looking at the tissue level!
Plus, your body wants your blood to stay balanced so it will pull magnesium (and other minerals) from your tissues to keep your blood levels balanced...but the kicker is...we want it in the tissues. So your blood test can show Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium etc that are all normal when in reality they could be imbalanced in your tissues.
This is why I love running HTMA tests to get a more accurate picture of what has been going on in the body in the last few months so we can really target the next best step on your healing journey❤️
I say it is better to test and know then play "whackamole" with supplements and recommendations.
Can I do this if I color my hair?
Yes. It’s best to test the hair at least 3 weeks after it’s been colored.
For example, if you only do a partial highlight, but don’t color underneath, then you can use the hair underneath and don’t have to wait the 3 weeks.
You need to stop the use of zinc/dandruff shampoos like Selsun Blue for 2 weeks prior to testing.
