Hair Mineral Analysis Testing

We believe optimal health begins with truly understanding what’s happening within your body — beyond what standard blood work can reveal. That’s why we offer Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) as a cornerstone of our nutritional counselling service. HTMA is a safe, non-invasive test that measures both essential nutrient minerals and toxic heavy metals accumulating in your tissues. Drawing on gold-standard methodology (quantitative to parts per million), it uncovers hidden imbalances—nutritional deficiencies, mineral excesses, or toxic burdens—that may underlie persistent symptoms even when routine lab tests return “normal.”

Using these insights, our certified practitioners create customized nutritional protocols that support your body’s biochemical individuality: your diet, genetics, stress levels, detoxification capacity, and lifestyle are all factored in. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all; instead, we design bio-individualized supplement plans and diet strategies to bring body chemistry into better balance. With this deeper level of data, clients often experience clearer energy, improved hormonal balance, better mood, digestion, sleep, and long-term vitality.

Let us help you move from frustration to clarity, from wondering what’s wrong to knowing what to do next — because when you test, you don’t guess.

For women, mineral balance plays a pivotal role in supporting the delicate interplay of the endocrine system, which governs everything from energy production and metabolism to fertility, menstrual health, and stress resilience. Even subtle deficiencies or excesses in minerals like magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium, and iodine can influence thyroid function, adrenal performance, and hormonal regulation. Through Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, we gain a window into these patterns—revealing imbalances that may contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, mood fluctuations, irregular cycles, PMS, perimenopausal changes, or difficulty conceiving.

This is especially valuable at key life stages: for teenagers, mineral guidance can help support healthy hormone development and smoother regulation of the monthly cycle; for women who are trying to conceive, balancing minerals plays an important role in fertility and preparing the body for pregnancy; for those navigating perimenopause, testing can shed light on the shifts behind hot flashes, sleep changes, or mood swings; and for women in menopause, it provides strategies to protect bone density, energy, and overall vitality. By identifying these underlying mineral dynamics, our nutritional counselling provides targeted, natural support to nourish the endocrine system and help women move through every stage of life with greater balance, resilience, and confidence.

The process of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis at our clinic is simple and non-invasive. We take a small hair sample (around 1–3cm in length) from a discreet area at the back of your scalp, which is then sent to a specialized laboratory for testing. The fee for the HTMA is $207, covering the laboratory analysis and comprehensive report. Once the results are returned, you’ll book a dedicated follow-up consultation with our practitioner, where we’ll take a deep dive into your results, explain what they mean for your health, and develop a personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan to help restore balance.
