Checking for 21 nutritive and toxic minerals, the hair tissue mineral analysis is a screening (not diagnostic) tool that measures the mineral content of your hair. That, in turn, tells us a lot about the mineral content of your body’s tissues.

If a mineral excess or deficiency shows up in your hair sample, chances are you have a mineral imbalance in the body, too, or that the mineral is bio-unavailable (i.e., the body can’t use it).

Then there are those frustratingly mystifying ailments people endure for months and even years, with no diagnosis or cure.

Hair tissue mineral analysis also gives us crucial information about your metabolism, energy levels, carbohydrate tolerance, stress levels, nervous-system balance, heavy metal toxicity, kidney and liver stress, adrenal and thyroid activity, immune system, trends for physical, mental, and emotional conditions, and more.

One of our certified practitioners will guide you through the simple process. Just go to the practitioner page and select someone you’d like to work with.

Note: the practitioner does not have to live or work in your area; the entire process can be done remotely.

After choosing a practitioner, you will then complete the steps for your Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test. With your HTMA results, we can recommend a specific diet, supplementary nutrients, detoxification protocols, and lifestyle recommendations to increase your energy level. It is then up to you to follow the protocol.

Some clients see immediate results. We’ve performed more than 60,000 hair tissue mineral analysis tests, and our experience is that most people notice improvement within the first four months. It depends on where your mineral levels are and how well you’re able to adhere to the customized program.

Our paradigm is completely customized. Once we complete your hair tissue mineral analysis, we design a program that is tailored to your exact biochemical needs, based on the results of your hair tissue mineral analysis test.

We take a holistic health approach, meaning we don’t just provide results and send you on your way. We work closely with you to establish dietary guidelines, prescribe nutrient supplements, suggest detoxification protocols, and recommend lifestyle adjustments that promote healing. In other words, you don’t do this alone—you work closely with a practitioner/mentor throughout the entire process.

In addition, our program doesn’t focus on alleviating symptoms, but on correcting your biochemistry so those symptoms fall by the wayside—a far healthier and more permanent solution than trying to chase and suppress symptoms with drugs and other temporary quick fixes.

Finally, with regular retesting, we continue to monitor improvements and make any modifications necessary for restored health and vitality. In other words, we’re by your side for the long haul, partnering with you for complete transformational healing.

For a variety of reasons, we prefer ARL (Analytical Research Labs, Inc.).

Accuracy. Unlike most labs, they don’t wash hair samples, as it’s been shown to dilute or completely wash out water-soluble elements, creating less accurate results.

Leading-edge. ARL uses the most precise and technologically advanced testing equipment, including the Perkin Elmer Elan 9000 ICP Mass Spectrometer.

Diligence. ARL is diligent about quality control, testing at the beginning, middle, and end of every hair-sample batch to ensure accuracy of results.

Cautious. They err on the side of caution: Any reading that’s outside the normally expected range gets retested (provided sufficient hair is available for a second sample)

Simplification. They simplify it for us and for you: Test results are printed on easy-to-read-and-interpret graphs, unlike some of the gobbledygook we’ve seen at other labs. Graphs reveal info like mineral results, major mineral ratios, oxidation type, and more.

Back to the Source. Unlike other labs, they offer complete, individualized hair testing interpretations using the methods developed by their founder, the late Dr. Paul C. Eck.

A holistic approach to optimal health, mineral balancing ensures your body has the right balance of essential minerals: not too many, not too few. These minerals play critical roles in bodily functions, and an imbalance can lead to all kinds of health issues. Balancing them can promote overall wellness and address or prevent health problems.

First, we analyze your body’s mineral levels through hair analysis. Then, based on the results, we create personalized recommendations to help correct imbalances, including dietary changes, supplementation, and lifestyle adjustments.

No. Since everyone’s mineral profile is unique, we take a highly customized approach, tailoring recommendations to your specific needs. What works for you may not work for another client.

Supplements are often recommended to quickly correct imbalances. However, it’s always a primary goal to achieve balance through diet, when possible. Supplements are generally prescribed on a temporary basis until the body’s natural mineral balance is restored.

This can vary from person to person, depending on the severity of the mineral imbalance and how faithfully a client follows the recommended protocol. Some people experience improvement in a matter of weeks, while others may take several months.

When under the care of a qualified professional, mineral balancing is generally safe, as it involves natural approaches, like dietary changes and supplementation. Of course, it’s important to follow the program as advised, and you should always consult with a healthcare provider or qualified practitioner before making significant dietary or lifestyle changes.

Mineral balancing is often an excellent complement to traditional medical treatments. That said, it's important to inform your healthcare provider about any changes to your wellness regimen, including mineral balancing, to ensure compatibility with your medications.
