Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)

HTMA is a safe, non-invasive test that measures the mineral content of hair with precise accuracy, providing a clear picture of essential nutrient levels and potential toxic elements in the body’s tissues. Many integrative doctors, naturopaths, nutritional therapists, and even veterinarians consider HTMA one of the most valuable tools for routine health monitoring and preventative care.

Combined with metabolic typing, HTMA allows us to assess the state of your nervous system and how your stress response is functioning, particularly through the adrenals and thyroid. This provides valuable insight into how your body is managing stress, whether short-term or long-term, and helps guide the creation of a personalised plan to restore balance and support optimal health.
