Trace Element Testing Columbus, Ohio
Reveal Hidden Nutrient Deficiencies & Toxicities Using HTMA Testing
Understanding the balance of trace elements within the body is paramount to optimizing your health. The Hair, Tissue, Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a powerful tool that provides these insights and allows you to make lifestyle changes to improve your quality of life. We offer this test both as part of our comprehensive functional medicine program and as a targeted solution ($750) for those seeking a snapshot of their health or are just getting started with functional medicine.
Understand Your Nutritional Status With One Minimally Invasive Test
HTMA uses a hair sample to assess mineral levels and ratios within the body. Our functional medicine experts then analyze a comprehensive panel of essential minerals and toxic metals, including but not limited to, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron, lead, mercury and arsenic. This helps us identify nutrient imbalances, toxic metal exposure and other metabolic trends. Hair samples give a 3-month average of your nutrients rather than a snapshot found with blood or urine.
Note: the hair sample must be from the root and non-treated.
What We Discover Together Informs the Next Steps Forward
Every test is followed by a 60-minute, private consultation to review your results. We also provide a customized diet and regimen to support your overall vitality so you can start taking action that day. You will have access to our team of diet and nutrition experts for two weeks after your consultation to address questions about your results or lifestyle plan.
