Motherhood asks so much of you.
Your days are full, your needs come last, and your body has spent years caring for everyone but you.
Even the simplest healthy habits can start to feel overwhelming when you're running on empty.
Maybe you've found yourself thinking:
"I'm exhausted in a way that sleep barely touches."
"Everything feels like one more thing I don't have room for."
"I used to be able to push through. I can't anymore."
You don't need to try harder. You need more support.
Three simple steps, done on your own time.
how it works
1. Intake assessment
You'll walk through a detailed intake covering your health history, symptoms, nutrition, and lifestyle, on your own time, whenever you have twenty free minutes.
2. HTMA Test
A simple hair sample, collected at home and mailed in, gives us a window into what's happening beneath the surface: mineral levels, patterns, and imbalances that don't show up in a typical conversation.
3. Your results and action plan
You'll receive a recorded analysis walking you through what we found and what it means, plus a clear action plan for what to do next.
No calls to schedule. No planning around nap times. Just real answers about what's going on.
hair tissue mineral analysis
answers to your questions
What is hair tissue mineral analysis testing?
Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) utilizes a hair sample to measure mineral deposition and heavy metals in soft tissue cells. It doesn’t just represent the levels in the hair, but the information obtained can be inferred to apply to the rest of the body. It provides an average rate of mineral and heavy metal accumulation over the last 8-12 weeks.
what are minerals?
Minerals are commonly thought of as the “spark plugs” of the body. They are foundational for almost everything, including enzyme reactions, nutrient transfer, pH balance, muscle contraction and relaxation, and nerve conduction. They cannot be produced, so must be obtained through food or supplements.
why would i want this test?
The HTMA test provides insight into how the body is dealing with stress and how the energy system may be out of balance. Based on the results, diet and lifestyle recommendations can be made to address a multitude of body systems- metabolic rate, energy levels, protein/carb balance, adrenal and thyroid activity, tendencies for illnesses, and more.
can this test diagnose my symptoms?
Nope, this test is a screening tool and not diagnostic. That being said, it still provides information that we use to address your symptoms.
can i just use blood testing?
Blood testing is great, and it simply provides different information than hair testing. Blood testing provides a snapshot in time. It measures what is going on outside of cells, which is helpful to get an idea of mineral transport. It is more important for blood to maintain consistent levels; therefore, it will borrow from soft tissues if needed. This means that soft tissues are often more representative of the body’s storage of minerals. It provides an average of 8-12 weeks rather than a single point in time. Additionally, toxic metals are not found in high concentrations in the blood (except acutely), but low-level chronic exposure can be seen in a hair sample.
What is the cost?
The HTMA is one of the most affordable functional tests compared to other options such as DUTCH testing or a GI map. This allows it to be much more accessible and a great foundational place to start. The test requires interpretation, so I package it with a detailed intake, a recorded video analysis, and your personalized action plan — all for $297.
