hair tissue mineral analysis

what is it?

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a lab test that uses a hair sample to measure your average mineral and metal levels in your hair over the past 2–3 months. It gives insight into your body's stress response, thyroid function, adrenal activity, and detox pathways.

How is it useful?

Minerals are the ‘spark plugs’ to our bodies. They are involved in many enzyme reactions, metabolic activity, bone and teeth formation, nerve conduction and detoxification cycles. Improper mineral balance affects energy, digestion, metabolism, menstrual cycles, moods, brain function, hormones and skin conditions.

How is it different from blood labs?

An HTMA will tell us imbalances sometimes even before symptoms manifest, this is because the rate of hair growth shows a 3 month picture of cellular health. Blood labs show us a single snapshot of your bodies best output - which can change day to day. (Ever heard “your labs are normal” when you feel anything but?)

THE PROCESS

1. Purchase an HTMA package at HTMAlabs.com

2. Fill out an intake form, book your first consult and get your welcome package.

3. Receive your HTMA kit, follow collection instructions and send to the lab

4. Results are interpreted by Hailey and your protocol is created, listen to Hailey geek out (break it all down in clear, digestible terms) in a 90 minute game plan call.

5. Three months of support and healing begins (Supplement strategies, diet tweaks, lifestyle support)

6. Feel your best and wonder why you didn't start sooner

WHat will my HTMA tell me?

  • Your metabolic type: Slow or fast metabolism (how you utilize nutrients)

  • Nervous system imbalances (anxiety, fatigue, burnout)

  • Heavy metal accumulation (mercury, aluminum, lead, etc.)

  • Adrenal or thyroid sluggishness (even when bloodwork is “normal”)

  • Mineral deficiencies from stress, gut issues, or medications

  • Hormone imbalances

  • Disease insights and early markers (viral infections, osteoporosis, nerve degeneration)

  • Digestive issues

  • Trauma responses and nervous system states

  • Why supplements may not be working

can i buy an HTMA without a protocol?

I do not offer HTMAs as a stand alone without working with me. I’ve had clients come to me after $$$$$ in testing and interpretations but no support or guidance on where to go. I get it - lifes expensive but saving on the protocol and 1:1 support will cost you more in the long run. HTMAs wrongly interpreted can be dangerous.

WHat is the investment?

Currently, I offer a 3 month HTMA package; including lab, health history, intake and interpretation, a 3 month protocol with continued support, biweekly check ins, meal plan, detailed supplement and herbal plan, detox guidance, recipes, and lifestyle support: $675 USD
