HTMA Testing: Deeper Insight Into Your Health

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) helps uncover what’s happening beneath the surface, offering clues that traditional bloodwork often misses.

At Watkins Health & Wellness, we use HTMA as a functional tool to assess your mineral levels, stress response, and potential toxin load. Minerals are the spark plugs of the body, and when they’re out of balance, so is everything else – from hormones and energy to digestion and mood. HTMA gives us a clearer picture of what your body has been holding onto, so we can create more effective, personalized wellness plans.

What Is HTMA?

HTMA is a lab test that analyzes the mineral content of a small hair sample. Because hair reflects long-term storage patterns, this test offers insight into how your body has been functioning over the past several months, not just a moment in time.

This non-invasive test provides data on:

Mineral ratios and imbalances
Adrenal function and stress response
Thyroid function markers
Metabolic type and trends
Toxic heavy metal accumulation (e.g., mercury, lead, aluminum)

Unlike blood tests that measure what’s circulating right now, HTMA shows what your body has been storing, making it especially valuable for chronic symptoms and long-term patterns.

Why HTMA Matters

Many women struggle with vague, lingering symptoms like fatigue, anxiety, bloating, skin issues, and hormonal swings without clear answers. HTMA can:

Reveal patterns contributing to chronic symptoms
Identify stress-related mineral depletion
Guide personalized supplement protocols
Help explain why conventional tests may appear "normal"
Complement other wellness tools for a fuller picture

HTMA isn’t a diagnosis, but it’s a window into your body’s deeper needs.
