Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis

                                               HAIR TISSUE MINERAL ANALYSIS

Take The Guess Work Out! 

with a personalized HTMA assessment of your unique body's requirements for optimal wellness. 

WHAT IS HTMA?


Hair analysis is an invaluable screening tool that offers an accurate report of your body chemistry to determine your metabolic blueprint.


HTMA tests for 21 nutritive and toxic minerals of your hair, which reflects the mineral and toxin content found in your body’s tissues. 


Hair analysis is much more than a test for minerals

From a small sample of hair, you can learn about your metabolic rate, immune system, adrenal and thyroid glandular activity, carbohydrate tolerance, energy levels, what food to eat, supplements for your body chemistry and more!


By providing your body with the essential minerals that it requires - harmful heavy metals and toxins are naturally released, which brings restoration to the cells, organs and body systems. 

Based on your HTMA results, a program is designed specifically for you that includes:


  •  food guidelines,
  • nutrient supplements,
  • detoxification protocols,
  • and lifestyle improvements
  • along with one-on-one guidance throughout your program.


Mineral balancing science uses hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) to measures the mineral content of your hair, which reflects the mineral content of your body’s tissues. Various mineral imbalances as revealed by hair analysis frequently lead to metabolic dysfunctions before any symptoms become manifest.


When we give the body what it needs, the body heals itself, and when our basic needs are met we then have the power and energy to reach deeper into our well of potential.


Your body chemistry is unique to you and requires specific nutrients and energizing aspects to function at it’s optimal. Based on your Analytical Research Labs results, we design a program that is specific to you, which includes nutrient supplementation, food guidelines, detoxification protocols, and lifestyle changes. Also you'll be working directly with Nancy, who provides the one-on-one guidance and support throughout your transformational journey.


Why Test For Minerals?

Minerals are the “sparkplugs” of life. They are involved in almost all enzyme reactions within the body. Without enzyme activity life would cease to exist. A trace mineral analysis is preventative as well as being valuable as a screening tool.

Possible conditions that may be the result of a mineral imbalance:


  • Depression
  • Hypoglycemia
  • Hyperactivity
  • Headaches
  • Hypertension
  • Arthritis
  • Hair Loss
  • Anemia
  • Thyroid Disturbance
  • Prostate Disorders
  • Digestive Disturbance
  • Diabetes
  • Musculo-Skeletal Disorders
  • Cardiovascular Disease
  • Skin Rashes
  • Emotional Problems
  • Allergies
  • Auto-immune issues
  • A condition that no one has the answer to
  • A condition that no one knows what to do to help

Endo-met Nutrient Supplements

From your HTMA results, we know exactly what supplement program to recommend thanks to Dr. Paul Eck, founder of mineral balancing science. Each mineral in the body has an affect on other minerals in the body. No mineral works alone. For example, taking a little iron to help your energy can affect many other minerals in your body. Sodium, potassium, and manganese can go up while magnesium, calcium, copper, and zinc can go down.The beauty of this program is that we take into account how minerals interact with each other when setting up your supplement program.


 "I am against people taking random supplements without knowing what they are doing. There is no way of knowing what you are doing without the intelligent use of hair tests". Dr. Paul Eck

How to send in a Hair Sample

1. Fill out the HTMA Kit Form above to receive your free Hair Sample Kit.


2. Fill out the information sheets & disclaimer to email back to me. Click here to print out form. 

 

3. Using your HTMA Kit, cut the hair sample:

Watch How to cut hair sample for short hair sample & song hair sample - in videos below



If you have a water softener, wash hair at least 4 times in non softened tap or reverse osmosis water. Head hair is preferred but can also use underarm hair or other body hair. Pubic hair is not advised. Make sure to cut sample when hair is clean (washed within 24 hours) and dry.


Hair Cutting Instructions

1. SHAMPOO YOUR HAIR THE SAME DAY, OR THE DAY BEFORE SAMPLING IT. Cut sample 1 to 24 hours after washing. Use a plain shampoo if possible. Preferably do not add conditioner or any other products on the hair after washing it on the day you will take the sample. AVOID sending dirty, sweaty or greasy hair.


2. CUT HAIR FROM ANYWHERE ON THE HEAD AND AS CLOSE TO THE SCALP AS POSSIBLE. It matters little where on the head you cut it. The way to avoid bald spots is to cut several small samples and combine them. If you cannot use head hair, the second best is beard hair. Underarm is ok also. Please do not send in pubic hair because it is not as accurate.


3. SET EACH SAMPLE DOWN ON A DESK OR TABLE. MEASURE ABOUT 1 INCH OR 2 CENTIMETERS FROM THE CUT END NEAR THE SCALP. CUT OFF AND DISCARD ANY HAIR THAT IS MORE THAN ABOUT 1 INCH OR ABOUT 2 CENTIMETERS LONG FROM THE SCALP END. Shorter hair is excellent, and the shorter the better, in fact. AVOID SENDING HAIR THAT IS LONGER THAN 1 TO 1.5 INCHES LONG.  Also do not send hair cut from the ends of long hair or use an electric shaver. It will skew the results.


4. SEND ENOUGH HAIR. The lab requires 125 mg of hair. If you have a paper scale (call or email me to send one to you) See the video below on how to use the Hair Sampling Scale included in your HTMA Kit. Otherwise, please completely fill a tablespoon with hair. Then place the hair sample in a envelope and write your name, age and gender on it. AVOID SENDING HAIR IN PLASTIC BAGS OR ALUMINUM FOIL.


5. PRINT YOUR NAME, AGE AND GENDER ON THE HAIR SAMPLING ENVELOPE.

TINTS AND DYES. These rarely affect the test because they do not contain any minerals. Therefore, you may sample dyed hair.

PERMANENTS OR BLEACHED HAIR. These treatments somewhat alter the structure of the hair. Sample the hair before a treatment or wash the hair for at least a few weeks before sampling the hair.


IF YOUR HOME HAS A WATER SOFTENER. Before sampling hair you must shampoo it four times with unsoftened tap water or reverse osmosis water from the supermarket.
