Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, or HTMA for short, is an assessment tool to gauge where the body is at in terms of minerals. Minerals are the spark plugs of life (that’s why some of them are called electrolytes). But it’s so much more than that. By screening the body this way, we are able to assess biochemical energy levels (meaning thyroid/adrenal/blood sugar metabolism at the cellular level), metabolism rates, stage of stress, and toxic heavy metals. Since hair grows out, testing this way shows the trends in levels and patterns of minerals in the body over a period of months.
Testing the hair differs from blood tests in the sense that, in general, blood will usually maintain healthy levels. But a lot of times this is done at the expense of the tissues. Conversely, blood may not always show elements that are in excess in the tissues. Think of the tissues as the warehouses and the blood as the highways transporting materials.
Hair is considered soft tissue. It’s also an eliminative organ, meaning minerals and toxic metals will present themselves by coming out through the hair. So by taking a sample, we are able to gather insight as to what’s going on in the tissues inside the body.
Mineral levels are important. What’s just as important are ratios of certain ones to others. On top of that, there are patterns that are displayed with many minerals taken into account. That’s where the uniqueness comes to play. We are able to decipher what makes you YOU and most likely give explanation to symptoms you may be experiencing.
What’s even better is there are many things you are able to do to help correct the imbalances that could be leading to the symptoms.
The answer is: anyone who has hair! That would include children (even babies), pregnant women, men, and women of all ages.
Once you receive your hair sampling kit, carefully read all instructions. Then after the kit is mailed off, it takes about 2 weeks for us to get the results. We will call you to schedule a phone consultation to go over the results and give diet, supplement and lifestyle recommendations. From there, your results will be mailed to you (emailing the results is not yet set up) and you will be able to order your supplements as well. A follow-up call will be scheduled to check in with you as well. After about 4-6 months of being on the program, retesting is recommended to see progress and make any changes.
This is generally a slower, gentler, and foundation-correcting program. It’s not a “get better quick” program. Some people see/feel results in as little as a few days. Others it takes weeks or more. And please note that we cannot guarantee anything.
Pricing for initial HTMA is $150
Retests are $135
All prices include kit, consultation, and follow up checks between rechecks. Supplements are not included.
To order your test(s) or if you have questions, send us a message or call/text 864-743-1980.
