What is HTMA

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis 

HTMA stands for Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis—a non-invasive test that measures the mineral and heavy metal levels stored in your hair. Minerals are said to be the spark plugs of the body, essential for everything from hormone production to energy creation, detoxification, and nervous system regulation. Unlike blood work, which offers a moment-in-time snapshot, HTMA reflects patterns of stress, imbalance, and adaptation over the past 3+ months—giving us a deeper look into how your body is functioning at the cellular level.

​

Why I Use It in My Practice

So many women are living with unexplained fatigue, irregular cycles, anxiety, thyroid symptoms, or digestive issues. Labs often come back "normal," but they don’t feel normal.

That’s where HTMA comes in. It helps us uncover the why behind your symptoms by looking at:

  • How your body is handling stress

  • Your ability to produce energy

  • Whether your nervous system is in fight-or-flight

  • How well your thyroid and adrenals are functioning

  • Whether your body is detoxifying properly

  • And what nutrients may be depleted or imbalanced

​

This information allows us to build a personalized, restorative protocol rooted in nourishment, not restriction. It’s not about chasing symptoms—it’s about supporting your body at the root.

 

What HTMA Can Reveal

HTMA gives insight into:

  • Mineral levels like magnesium, sodium, potassium, calcium, zinc, and copper

  • Heavy metals such as mercury, aluminum, and lead

  • Stress patterns and adrenal function

  • Thyroid activity and metabolic rate

  • Blood sugar and insulin patterns

  • Detox capacity and liver support needs

  • Nervous system resilience

  • Inflammation, oxidation, and immune burden

 

Who It’s For

HTMA is a powerful tool for every stage of life. Whether you’re burnt-out, a teen navigating a body that no longer feels like your own, parenting a young child with behaviour or skin challenges, a depleted mother, or a woman living with chronic symptoms that don’t make sense—this test brings clarity and compassion to your healing process.
