Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
When you have an imbalance in your sex hormones, it’s a symptom and the result of something else. If we think about hormones like riding a train or subway, hormone imbalances are the last stop. This is why it’s helpful to look deeper into other areas that can impact hormone health like nutrient deficiencies, mineral imbalances, digestive function, gut health, and overall stress. And my FAVORITE way to look at this is through the hair mineral test.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a screening test that uses a small sample of recent hair growth to provide information about a person’s average mineral and heavy metal accumulation in the tissues over the past 8-12 weeks. Often overlooked, minerals are like spark plugs in our bodies that support enzyme reactions, nutrient transfer, pH balance, muscle relaxation and contraction, nerve conduction, metabolism, thyroid, adrenals, digestion, etc. Many people lack essential minerals due to chronic stress, medications, long-term dieting, and modern agricultural practices. By analyzing the mineral and heavy metal content in the hair sample, we are able to infer information about tissues throughout the rest of the body.
The hair analysis provides us with a window into the tissues and cells that we wouldn’t be able to see otherwise. There is no other noninvasive and cost-effective way of obtaining a tissue biopsy. Hair testing is a more accurate measure of your long-term mineral status when compared to blood testing because it gives you a measure of your mineral status over a 3-month period, while blood testing is just one moment in time snapshot.
If you don’t have the right mineral balance, it’s nearly impossible to heal your hormones, support thyroid function, and get your gut working properly.

How Does It Work?
The HTMA bundle:
Once you purchase, you will get access to my online client portal where you will be required to fill out your new client intake form and 3-day food journal.
After you have filled that out and we have your hair test results we will use your intake form information as well as main health concerns and symptoms to interpret your resultsand create your healing protocol.
Kat will record a screen share video walking you through your lab test results, what they mean, and how this relates back to your main concerns.
To finish off the video, they will walk you through our recommendations for your healing protocol, how to purchase supplements or recommended products, and where to go from here.
We will send your video, Report of Findings, protocol, and upload any other resources to your client folder inside my secure client platform. You can download directly from there and save.
What If I Have Questions?
We send your test results on our secure platform, PracticeBetter, and notify you via messenger that everything is ready. You can then send one list of questions after you have watched your review video. We recommend writing down questions as you watch the video. You can send one message with those questions, we will answer as soon as possible, and then messenger access will be removed once we have answered your questions.
