Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
Are you living with unexplained fatigue, anxiety, burnout, poor sleep, digestive discomfort, hair thinning or growth changes, mood swings, blood sugar dysregulation, hormonal imbalance or recurring infections?
Maybe you’ve had standard tests come back ‘normal’ but your body is telling you otherwise. Trace Elements Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis | HTMA provides insights into long term mineral patterns and stress responses that may contribute to how you feel.
HTMA doesn’t diagnose conditions. Instead, it highlights mineral ratios and patterns, toxic elements, heavy metals and nervous system stress patterns that provide an actionable lens to nourish your well-being for rebalancing.
And yes—you can also receive our Functional Nutritional Therapy leadership with science-informed ‘Food as Medicine’ guidance that complements your HTMA test results. When you’re ready, reach out for a conversation and we’ll talk through your next step so you can choose what truly fits your life.

Why Trace Elements HTMA?
Trace Elements Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis | HTMA measures the ratios and balance of 35 minerals, toxic elements, and heavy metals, plus your nervous system stress pattern for metabolic insights to guide a natural means to feel better.
Understanding mineral balance (not just mineral levels) is essential because minerals operate in synergistic and antagonistic relationships that influence metabolic function.
The Trace Elements laboratory has performed over 3 million HTMA tests worldwide since 1984. They use highly accurate ICP-Mass Spectrometry (NexION® models) to detect mineral levels, and they maintain a strict policy of not washing the hair samples to prevent losing water soluble minerals like sodium and potassium.
They are known for providing in depth, client friendly actionable reports that go beyond just listing numbers, offering insights into individual metabolism, stress responses, and mineral balancing with food first and supplements recommendations to support client success.
Your health is too important to guess, and your resources are precious.
