What is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis?

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a functional test used to provide a unique cellular reading of the minerals and heavy metal levels in your body. By analyzing small samples of recent hair growth, you can get a snapshot of what your body has been exposed to and what it is eliminating through the hair over the last 2-3 months.

Why would I want to use HTMA?

This data is valuable for prioritizing which diet and lifestyle strategies will be most effective for addressing your bio-individual needs. Minerals are elements that are essential for hundreds of physiological functions, including nerve signaling, muscle contraction, electrolyte balance, digestion, pH regulation, bone structure, blood sugar balance...the list goes on! You can think of minerals like "spark plugs" because they act as co-factors for thousand of metabolic reactions in your body.

Mineral balance is foundational to nutritional therapy and essential for health + vitality!

How often should I retest?

Retests monitor change and progress. I recommend retesting every three or four months after your initial test until your health concerns resolve and yearly after that.
