HTMA stands for Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis. This lab test requires a hair sample taken at the root, and measures the mineral content in the tissues. This gives us a picture of overall health as well as indications of more specific imbalances that need attention. Often, mineral levels in the hair reflect imbalances long before they would be reflected in blood tests. You can read more FAQ from the Trace Elements lab here.
Once you order the HTMA test, I will mail the test kit to you with instructions on how to take the hair sample. You will drop it in the mail, and within 2 weeks, the lab results will be sent to me. In the meantime, I’ll ask you to complete this questionnaire and submit it to me. With your questionnaire and your lab results, I will build a custom protocol unique to your needs. This will include lifestyle supports, nutrition recommendations, beneficial supplements, herbal supports if indicated, and sometimes suggestions for complementary therapies or recommendations for follow-up with your primary physician. We will schedule a 1 hour video call to go over your protocol and answer any questions you might have about the recommendations.
