The HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) test is a simple, non-invasive test that analyzes your hair to assess mineral levels in your body. This gives us a clear picture of your long-term mineral balance, which is crucial for energy, digestion, skin health, and metabolism.

Energy: Mineral deficiencies, like magnesium, can drain your energy. The HTMA shows us exactly what minerals you're lacking so you're no longer clutching your 3rd cup of coffee just to make it through the afternoon.

Gut health: Minerals like zinc and sodium are vital for digestion. If you're dealing with bloating or constipation, the test helps identify and address those imbalances.

Weight loss: Your metabolism needs minerals to function properly - especially after periods of chronic stress or pregnancies. Mineral balance = a strong, balanced metabolism.

Skin Health: Minerals impact your skin—imbalances can cause acne, dryness, or premature aging. We can help support clearer, glowier skin by targeting deficiencies.

Traditional labs look for symptoms.
Functional labs find root causes.

The science behind our foundational labs:

The GI Map is a stool test that analyzes your gut health by identifying potential imbalances in your microbiome. It gives us detailed insights into what's going on in your gut—everything from harmful bacteria to digestive function.

Digestion: The GI Map analyzes markers like gut inflammation, digestive enzyme function, and intestinal permeability (leaky gut). If you’re dealing with bloating, gas, or constipation, it helps pinpoint the root causes and shows us exactly what’s going wrong in your digestive system.

Skin Health: Imbalances in gut bacteria (like Candida or pathogenic bacteria) can lead to skin issues such as acne or eczema. The GI Map provides specific markers related to microbial imbalances, so we can target the right treatment to support clear, healthy skin.

Preconception Health & Hormones: A healthy gut is essential for hormonal balance and fertility. The GI Map looks at markers like short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and the balance of good vs. bad bacteria, which play a crucial role in regulating hormones, including estrogen and progesterone. If there are imbalances, this can affect menstrual cycles, ovulation, and even fertility. The GI Map helps us understand how your gut health is impacting your hormones, so we can make targeted changes to optimize your chances of conception.
