Your Health Journey Starts with Understanding — No Hidden Fees or Commissions.
While many companies simply sell hair analysis kits online, the real value lies in proper interpretation of your results. The Remedy's Nutrition team brings over 35 years of experience in nutritional health assessment and mineral balance evaluation.
This package combines a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) test from a certified lab with professional interpretation and six consultations — helping you understand your results and implement a realistic nutrition strategy over time.
No hidden fees or commissions. The focus is education, context, and practical guidance — so you can make informed choices about your mineral health.
If your results reveal mineral deficiencies or imbalances, we may discuss targeted options during consultations — such as highly absorbable magnesium, zinc supplementation, or a comprehensive multivitamin — as part of your educational nutrition plan.
This at-home mineral test is useful for anyone who wants a clearer picture of their mineral status and potential toxic metal exposure over time. It is particularly relevant for:
Mineral imbalances — particularly in magnesium, zinc, iron, or copper — are frequently linked to persistent fatigue, poor concentration, and low energy that doesn't resolve with rest alone.
Those who have worked in industrial settings, live in older homes (lead pipes), consume high amounts of large fish, or have other known exposure pathways may benefit from a hair analysis for heavy metals.
HTMA offers a longer-range nutritional pattern view (~2–4 months) that complements standard blood testing — useful when bloodwork appears normal but symptoms persist.
Rather than guessing which minerals you need, a hair mineral analysis test provides a data-based starting point for building a targeted, personalized nutrition plan.
Chronic stress depletes key minerals — especially magnesium, zinc, and B vitamins. HTMA patterns can reflect stress-related mineral shifts and help guide nutritional support strategies.
Athletes place high demands on mineral reserves through sweat loss and metabolic activity. A nutritional mineral test helps identify deficiencies that may be limiting performance or recovery.
This mineral deficiency test is designed to assess:
HTMA is not:
Many companies sell hair testing kits, but meaningful insight comes from experienced interpretation. Mineral results are contextual — especially when you consider ratios, patterns, and how the body may be using or eliminating specific elements.
Example: Elevated iron in hair can be misread as "good iron status." In some cases, hair values may reflect elimination of excess iron — one reason interpretation matters and why we avoid one-size-fits-all conclusions.
Our philosophy: "Knowledge Empowers Healthy Choices."
HTMA and blood work answer different questions. A hair mineral analysis test is generally used as a complement to conventional testing — not a replacement.
| Aspect | HTMA (Hair Mineral Analysis) | Blood Tests |
|---|---|---|
| Time window | Longer-range pattern (~2–4 months of mineral activity) | Point-in-time snapshot at the moment of testing |
| Use | Pattern & ratio-based interpretation for nutrition insight | Clinical markers assessed in a medical context |
| Collection | Non-invasive hair sample — done at home | Blood draw at a lab (clinic visit required) |
| Best for | Mineral deficiency testing, heavy metal screening, nutrition planning | Diagnosing medical conditions, monitoring medications |
HTMA reports may include toxic metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and aluminum (depending on the lab panel). Our interpretation looks at mineral patterns and nutrition foundations that may support natural resilience — without unsafe "detox" promises or alarmist conclusions.
For clients whose results indicate toxic metal exposure, we may discuss evidence-based nutritional support options such as Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) — a natural compound studied for its chelation support properties — as part of their educational coaching.
Your sample is analyzed by a certified laboratory measuring essential minerals, mineral ratios, and toxic metals (per lab panel). Results are typically returned within 1–2 weeks.
We review your HTMA report in depth — explaining key patterns and ratios in plain language, answering your questions, and building a realistic step-by-step nutrition plan across your six included consultations.
Important: If you have acute symptoms, urgent health concerns, or a diagnosed medical condition, seek care from a qualified healthcare professional. The HTMA hair mineral analysis is intended for educational and long-term nutrition insight only — it does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
HTMA is a lab-based hair mineral analysis used to assess essential minerals, mineral ratios, and pattern-based insights over a longer time window (commonly ~2–4 months). It is intended for educational nutrition context, not medical diagnosis. The test is a non-invasive alternative to blood testing that reflects mineral activity stored in hair tissue rather than a single moment-in-time snapshot.
HTMA accuracy depends on the quality of the certified laboratory and, critically, the expertise of the person interpreting results. Hair values reflect mineral storage and elimination patterns — not just tissue levels — which means isolated numbers can be misleading without contextual interpretation. A skilled practitioner evaluates mineral ratios and relationships, not single values in isolation. This is why our package includes professional interpretation alongside the lab report, rather than just raw data.
Yes. You collect a small hair sample at home (from the nape of the neck) and mail it to the lab following the instructions provided with your order. No clinic visit, blood draw, or appointment is needed. This makes it one of the most convenient mineral deficiency tests available.
It includes both essential minerals and toxic metals, depending on the lab panel used. Most certified HTMA panels report key minerals (magnesium, calcium, zinc, copper, sodium, potassium, and others) as well as toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and aluminum.
Many HTMA panels include toxic metals such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and aluminum. Exactly what appears depends on the specific lab panel. Our interpretation looks at these values in context of the full mineral pattern — not as standalone alarming numbers — and discusses nutritional support approaches when appropriate.
No. Hair testing is used for educational and long-term nutritional pattern insight. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace medical care. If you have acute symptoms or concerns about heavy metal poisoning, seek care from a qualified healthcare professional or toxicologist.
HTMA interpretation emphasizes mineral ratios and relationships rather than isolated values. For example, the calcium-to-magnesium ratio, the sodium-to-potassium ratio, and the zinc-to-copper ratio each provide information about metabolic patterns, stress responses, and mineral utilization. Our consultations walk you through what your specific ratios mean in practical terms.
Because mineral data is highly contextual. A single "high" or "low" value can be misinterpreted without understanding the full pattern. For example, elevated hair iron may reflect iron elimination rather than adequate iron status. Practitioner interpretation considers ratios, relationships, and patterns across the full report — helping you avoid oversimplified or misleading conclusions.
HTMA is commonly discussed as reflecting a longer-range pattern — often noted as approximately 2–4 months — rather than a single point-in-time snapshot like a blood test. This makes it useful for identifying chronic mineral trends rather than acute fluctuations.
They answer different questions and work best together. Blood tests provide a clinical snapshot useful for medical diagnosis and monitoring. HTMA provides a longer-range mineral pattern view useful for nutritional planning and identifying chronic deficiencies or toxic metal trends. Most people use HTMA as a complement to regular blood work — not a replacement for it.
Once your lab results are ready, we schedule your first consultation to walk through the findings — explaining key ratios, patterns, and what they mean for your nutrition strategy. Across all six consultations we answer your questions, build a practical plan, and support step-by-step implementation. Supplement guidance may be included as part of educational coaching when appropriate.
The consultations are used to explain your results in plain language, answer your questions, and support implementation over time. This is educational coaching — not medical treatment. Six sessions allow us to work through results, adjust your plan as you progress, and address questions that arise as you implement changes.
Supplement guidance may be included as part of educational nutrition coaching when appropriate to your results. For example, if results suggest low magnesium, we may discuss a highly absorbable magnesium form. If zinc appears deficient, targeted zinc supplementation may be discussed. If toxic metals are elevated, nutritional support options like Modified Citrus Pectin may be explored. This is educational guidance only — not medical treatment.
No. HTMA is focused on minerals and toxic metals only — not drug metabolites. It is not a drug screening test and cannot be used for employment or legal drug testing purposes.
Many certified labs can use hair from other body areas when head hair is insufficient or unavailable. Follow the collection instructions provided with your order for the best possible sample guidance.
Most HTMA panels include toxic metals such as mercury and lead and may also report cadmium and aluminum. What is included depends on the specific lab panel. These values are interpreted in context — elevated hair mercury, for example, may reflect ongoing exposure, past exposure, or active elimination — all of which require professional interpretation to understand correctly.
Cut a small amount of hair from the nape of the neck using scissors (no pulling needed). Place the sample in the provided container and follow the included mailing instructions. The process takes under 5 minutes and requires no special equipment.
