Q&A
What is HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis)?
HTMA is a non-invasive test that analyzes mineral levels and mineral ratios from a small hair sample. Unlike blood work, it reflects longer term patterns of stress, metabolism, and nutrient balance showing how your body has been functioning over time, not just how it looks on one day.
I feel “off” could HTMA help?
If you’re feeling more tired than you think you should, struggling with stress, sleep, weight changes, or just don’t feel like yourself lately, HTMA can help uncover patterns that may be affecting how your body is functioning.
What makes HTMA different from regular lab tests?
Most lab tests show what’s happening in your body at a single moment. HTMA examines longer-term mineral patterns, which can provide insight into stress levels, metabolism, and how your body adapts over time.
What kinds of issues do people use HTMA for?
People often use HTMA to better understand fatigue, burnout, hormone and sleep issues, stubborn weight changes, skin concerns, digestion, mood, and inconsistent results from diet or exercise. It’s commonly used when someone feels like they’ve “tried everything” but still don’t feel their best.
What does the testing process look like?
HTMA is simple and non-invasive and uses approximately 1 Tbsp of hair. After testing, you’ll receive a clear explanation of your results along with personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement guidance designed to support your body over time.
