Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)Minerals are the spark plugs of life
~Henry A Schroeder M.D, Ph.D |
If you:
Then a HTMA test can give you the assurance you need.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, first became widely available in the 1970s and interpretations developed more extensively as the years progressed. It provides insight into your metabolism rate, your thyroid/adrenal gland performance, toxicity levels, stress, tendency to heart issues, detox capacity, non-localised pain and much more.
The correct balance in your minerals through nutritional supplementation can lead to a reduction and improvement in your symptoms.
People have even found a stabilisation of mental health issues by improving severely extreme/depleted minerals.
All aspects of us are definitely connected.
And minerals can provide a low-cost insight into that connectivity between symptoms and function.
- have found that randomly taking friend’s advice, guessing or even muscle-testing your supplements has let to haphazard results, even created underlying anxiety
- are worried to take supplements in case you make things worse
- want to be able to track your progress towards health

What Does the HTMA Look Like
The HTMA lab test measures a range of elements including:
There are a range of patterns which are commonly seen in the HTMA results and give guidance to the nutritional and lifestyle changes needed to bring the minerals back into a state of balance.
Here are some real-life examples of the nutrition and toxic element panels only, showing commonly recognisable patterns (& other notes) below:
- Nutritional elements (both macro-minerals and trace-minerals)
- Toxic elements
- Additional elements (has some information, but less critical)
- Nutrition & Toxic ratios (very important health indicators)

Here are some real-life examples of the nutrition and toxic element panels only, showing commonly recognisable patterns (& other notes) below:
Mixed oxidation pattern, with high stress (experiencing weight gain, also a smoker)
4 Lows pattern (long-term depletion of minerals)
Fast oxidiser pattern with indicator of lowered vitality (experiencing allergies & tiredness)
|
Slow oxidiser pattern, with trending calcium shell & trending copper toxicity
4 Highs pattern & copper toxicity (high stress & bio-unavailability of minerals)
|
Important Things to Note
- Balancing minerals doesn’t just mean take less X & take more Y as it shows up on the test… that’s the crude approach
- Taking one mineral in excess, will reduce other minerals that are correlated with it, so understanding how minerals interact is also vital. Please get it interpreted properly
- Things can be hidden and tricky with copper & heavy metal toxicity. This takes time to uncover
CONDITIONS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO DO HTMA
- 4cm of undyed/untreated hair from scalp (not the ends of your hair)
- Australia & Asia-Pacifica areas only
Areas outside these are possible (for example USA has 2 respected HTMA labs), however you won’t receive a discount via Leah’s practitioner number as it’s registered only with an Australian lab. In this case, do NOT pay the $10 for envelope & form and instead organize with your labs directly.
Please email Leah on invoke.spirit@gmail.com to discuss as not all labs follow the required process (e.g. it is not recommended to wash the hair sample, and the lab should have a good reputation among HTMA practitioners).
The Process
- If you are in Australia/Asia-Pacifica, order & pay for the $10 postage and support service. Make sure you include your home or postal address.
- You will receive the envelope/form in the mail and an email of instructions to take the hair sample. This will include Leah’s practitioner number which includes a discount on the lab costs.
- After collecting your hair sample, send the hair sample in envelope and filled out form to the lab (pay the labs directly via the form). NOTE - please send to lab as soon as practical, as 4cm roughly represents your last 3-4 months of mineral balance.
- Approx 3 to 4 weeks later, Leah will receive your results. An email confirmation will be sent for you to book & pay for your interpretation session. Your labs will also be sent to you via snail mail.
- During your interpretation session, your lab results and supplement plan will be explained. You can ask any questions for clarification.
- Depending on the offer you’ve selected, you may or may not have further catch-up session with Leah to determine whether the plan needs to be tweaked, progress in gathering supplements & establishing routine and working through any hidden resistances.
