Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) Test See What Your Blood Work Isn't Showing You
What 1,300+ clients discovered that their doctors couldn't explain.
A simple at-home hair analysis that reveals the mineral imbalances, toxic metals, and metabolic patterns behind your symptoms.
Your HTMA. Done Right.
The Most Accurate HTMA
Testing by Analytical Research Laboratories (ARL) — a CLIA-certified lab and one of only two labs that doesn't wash hair samples before testing, preserving your true mineral levels.
Expert HTMA Interpretation
HTMA is a complex test to interpret. Since 2016, I've personally reviewed over 1,300 tests, helping clients understand patterns that many practitioners miss.

Why You're Still Not Getting Answers
Most of our clients come to hair analysis after years of searching for answers. I know — because I was one of them. Here's what I hear most often.
"My blood work is normal, but I still don't feel right."
You've been to the doctor. Maybe several. Your labs come back normal, but the fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, or sleep problems are still there. No one can explain why. Hair mineral analysis is often the first test that actually finds something — mineral imbalances, toxic metal accumulation, and metabolic patterns that explain how you've been feeling.
This is the #1 reason clients come to us for hair analysis.
"I'm spending money on supplements but nothing is changing."
You're taking magnesium, zinc, vitamin D — maybe a whole cabinet full of bottles. Some were recommended, some you researched yourself. But you're not feeling better, and you're starting to wonder if any of it is actually working. Hair analysis shows you exactly which supplements your body needs, which ones it doesn't — and which ones might be making things worse.
Most of our clients are already taking supplements when they test — the issue is whether they're the right ones.
"I've been told it's stress, or my thyroid, or just aging."
When blood work comes back normal, doctors fall back on the same few explanations: stress, your thyroid, aging. But what's actually driving those things? Hair analysis can show you WHY your adrenals are struggling, WHY your thyroid isn't doing its job, and WHY you're feeling the way you do. It gives you something actionable instead of a label.
This is one of the most common frustrations we hear from new clients.
The reason you're not getting answers is that standard lab tests don't give you the full picture. Hair analysis goes deeper — showing you the mineral imbalances, toxic metals, and metabolic patterns that are driving your symptoms.

What Hair Analysis Can Tell You About Your Health
Your hair records 3-4 months of mineral activity at the cellular level, not just a snapshot of what's circulating in your blood. That means your HTMA results can reveal imbalances that affect your energy, mood, sleep, and metabolism years before they show up on standard blood work. Here are some of the most important patterns the test can uncover.
Normal thyroid labs but still exhausted?
Even when thyroid hormone levels are normal, many people still suffer from fatigue, weight gain, and other signs of hypothyroidism. This is because other factors, including high calcium, low selenium, and mercury toxicity, can prevent thyroid hormones from being utilized within the cells. Hair analysis can show you whether your hormones are actually reaching your cells and having the desired effect.
Your HTMA reveals: Whether your thyroid hormones are reaching your cells — and what's blocking them.
Why are my hormone levels low?
Many people learn that their fatigue, cold intolerance, weight gain, and other symptoms are due to low hormone levels. But instead of looking for a cause, doctors tend to prescribe daily hormone replacement to manage the problem. Hair analysis can reveal several underlying causes of low hormones, including copper and mercury toxicity, and low levels of selenium, zinc, and chromium.
Your HTMA reveals: The underlying mineral imbalances affecting your hormone levels.
Am I stuck in fight-or-flight?
Chronic stress from fast-paced lifestyles, worry, lack of rest, and nutritional depletion activates your sympathetic nervous system, your fight-or-flight response. When that system stays activated too long, it prevents your body from regenerating and eventually leads to burnout. Hair analysis can show you whether you're stuck in fight-or-flight through several stress indicators. It also reveals your stage of stress: alarm, resistance, or exhaustion.
Your HTMA reveals: Your stage of stress — alarm, resistance, or exhaustion — and whether you've reached burnout.
Why isn't iron helping my fatigue?
Many cases of anemia have nothing to do with iron deficiency. For example, without bioavailable copper, iron can't be incorporated into hemoglobin. In that case, iron supplementation can actually make things worse. Hair analysis can identify several biochemical patterns associated with fatigue and anemia, including copper imbalance, lead toxicity, and cadmium toxicity.
Your HTMA reveals: Why iron isn't helping — and what your body actually needs to fix your energy.
Could toxic metals be affecting my health?
Everyone today has elevated levels of toxic metals due to contamination of food, water, and personal care products. Metals like mercury, lead, arsenic, and aluminum interfere with thousands of enzyme reactions in the body, many of which are directly involved in energy production. The body removes toxic metals from the blood quickly, storing them in tissues where they accumulate over years. Blood tests only catch recent exposure. Although no test can detect the total amount of toxic metals in the body, hair analysis is known as a reliable test for assessing toxic metal status.
Your HTMA reveals: Whether toxic metals are driving your symptoms — and how well your body is able to detox.
What causes anxiety and racing thoughts?
Copper imbalance is one of the most common findings in hair analysis, and one of the most overlooked causes of anxiety, racing thoughts, and mood instability. It is especially common in women. Copper directly increases norepinephrine and decreases dopamine, creating the biochemical conditions for a wired, anxious state. Hair analysis assesses your copper status from several angles, including your Zinc/Copper ratio, individual copper levels, and several indirect indicators.
Your HTMA reveals: Whether a copper imbalance is behind your anxiety, racing thoughts, or mood swings.
Important: Everything above depends on a properly performed hair analysis. The hair must be tested at a laboratory that does not wash the sample, and the results must be interpreted using metabolic typing, not just basic mineral replacement.
Hair analysis doesn't just reveal individual imbalances — it also shows you the bigger picture: your metabolic type.
What Your HTMA Metabolic Type Reveals About You
Your metabolic type tells you how efficiently your body converts food into energy. It shapes your energy levels, your mood, your stress response, even your weight. Your HTMA report identifies whether you're a fast, slow, or mixed oxidizer.
Fast Oxidizer
Your body is stuck in overdrive.
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- Insomnia
- High blood pressure
- Emotional volatility
Slow Oxidizer
Your body has shifted into energy conservation mode.
- Fatigue
- Brain fog
- Weight gain
- Depression
- Cold hands and feet
80% of adults test as slow oxidizers.
Mixed Oxidizer
Your body is sending conflicting signals.
- Unpredictable energy
- Anxious at times, depressed and tired at others
- Fast oxidizer tendencies (high blood pressure, irritability) mixed with slow oxidizer tendencies (hypothyroidism, weight gain)
80% of adults test as slow oxidizers. If you're dealing with fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, or depression — there's a good chance your metabolic type explains why.
Each metabolic type has different nutritional needs. Knowing yours is the first step toward a supplement program that actually works.

They Stopped Guessing. Here's What Happened.

"I have tried so much stuff to sleep. Valerian root, melatonin, Benadryl, other sleep aids, magnesium, even a c-pap machine and THC gummies. They all made me feel worse. When I did the hair analysis and started making changes that were recommended, I noticed about a week into the first few supplements and dietary changes that I was sleeping consistently every night without help. Waking up by myself without the alarm clock and feeling refreshed. This alone was worth every penny."
"Off thyroid meds for 5 months now. A lab result about 6 weeks ago showed T3 and T4 in upper normal range. My endocrinologist stated that whatever I'm doing I should continue with it. Update: Two subsequent blood tests revealed normal level of thyroid hormones including TSH. It appears that my Grave's disease is resolved. I feel good!"
"I'm officially off my birth control and anti-depressants. I'm fully healed from my depression, and the program is going steady. I feel alive again!"
"I have been very pleased with the physiological changes thus far: both my hypoglycemia and insomnia have stopped. I'm able to fall asleep and stay asleep all night without taking any sedatives."
"In the past few weeks, I have turned a corner with my gut imbalance, and my ability to tolerate certain foods (wheat, sugar) has significantly increased. The severe urogenital pain I have had upon eating foods with these ingredients since 2009 has virtually disappeared."
"My sinus issues are gone! I've gained healthy muscle weight..."
"My sinus issues are gone! I've gained healthy muscle weight and can go longer without eating. I'm sleeping better, sleeping straight through the night. My skin looks better and my brown spots are mostly gone. My mood is better, happier, less angry or resentful, more open to love and affection. Bloating is gone. Feeling blessed and happy."
"I visited multiple practitioners but no one gave me clear answers. My hair analysis revealed I was a fast oxidizer with low zinc and magnesium. After a few months on the protocol, I feel stronger, more peaceful, and my digestive issues cleared up!"
"I've noticed a shift the past few days. Prior to Saturday I was experiencing insomnia, wired & tired, very active mind, and low appetite. Since Saturday I've felt more tired and slept most of the weekend. My mind is calm and appetite has greatly increased. I'm happy to be sleeping so well."
"Thanks to this video I was able to discover through HTMA testing why I was ADHD and very low in electrolytes. Since I have been taking electrolytes twice a day, my mental health is back to normal and under control again. I feel the energy to get up in the morning and take on the day's challenges. Amazing. Thanks Brian — you are a life saver."
"For some reason, I'm finding it hard to get in 8-9 hours of sleep after work. This might sound cheesy, but I feel so excited about life in general, so optimistic about the things I might learn, or contemplate, or do in life. All this AFTER working a strenuous ten-hour shift with 5 hours of sleep. Only a few weeks ago, I used to be limp as a fish after work was over."
"I'm so excited to finally have direction and some answers. I have had times where I felt like I was dying. I shouldn't feel this way when I am active, eat mostly organic, etc. — but it's because my body is still so full of toxins."
Every one of these clients started exactly where you are now — wondering if testing was worth it.
About Your HTMA Practitioner
By the time I graduated college, years of stress and bad habits had caught up with me. I was exhausted, anxious, and nothing I tried was working — until I did my first hair mineral analysis. My results revealed patterns I'd never seen on any blood test: adrenal exhaustion, zinc and magnesium imbalances, and stress patterns that explained my anxiety and inability to relax. For the first time, my symptoms made sense.
And more importantly, they were reversible. Using the mineral balancing approach, things started to change. My energy improved. I became more grounded and confident. My blood sugar stabilized — I no longer had to eat every 2-3 hours. Chronic sinus congestion I'd had for years cleared up. Aches and pains disappeared. Eventually, I was able to give up caffeine, alcohol, and the other crutches I'd been relying on to get through the day. That experience changed the direction of my life.
Since 2016, I've reviewed over 1,300 HTMA tests and helped clients across the U.S. and Canada with fatigue, insomnia, brain fog, mood problems, and other chronic conditions that doctors had given up on.
If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
The accuracy of hair analysis depends entirely on proper interpretation. I use an interpretation system based on the principles of Dr. Paul Eck that treats your results as a whole-system analysis — not a list of individual deficiencies.
"Nothing compares to the insight I received. I learned my adrenal glands were suffering and my detoxification was impaired."
Every month you don't test is another month of guessing — another month of supplements that might be making things worse, symptoms that keep getting written off as "stress" or "aging," and another $100 spent on supplements without knowing if any of them are right for you. It takes 5 minutes to collect a sample. You could have answers within two weeks. How many more months do you want to wait?
The sooner you test, the sooner you stop guessing — and start getting answers.
