HAIR MINERAL ANALYSIS
a painless and simple way to analyze your bodies mineral balance and heavy metal load
WHAT is hair mineral analysis
Hair mineral analysis uses a small sample of your hair to identify mineral or toxic metal imbalances that may have been present over the last 3 months.
It is a non-invasive way to assess your mineral status to help us pinpoint where extra support might be needed
why do a hair mineral analysis
Mineral and toxic metal imbalances cannot always be identified through blood work, as they do not store in the blood. Hair analysis has proven to be an effective way to give a deeper understanding of underlying imbalances.
how is hair mineral analysis performed
Your hair acts as storage for certain minerals. A laboratory will liquify your hair and measure minerals and toxic metals within the hair. The lab will send a report to your practitioner once complete the readings are complete for interpretation.
HOW IS HAIR MINERAL ANALYSIS PERFORMED?
About 1 square inch of clean hair is taken from the base of your hair and sent to a lab for interpretation. You may do this yourself with instructions provided to you, or it can be taken at the time of your appointment. The lab report will be sent to me for further interpretation, then recommendations will be made accordingly.
Getting ready for your hair mineral analysis appointment
You should clean your hair with a non-medicated, natural shampoo, one that does not contain zinc (like Head & Shoulders), Selenium (like Selsun Blue), or lead (Grecian Formula). You should not have been in a pool for at least a week prior to your hair collection and if you’re exposed to potential air contaminants, please report this to me prior to collection.
HOW DOES HAIR MINERAL ANALYSIS TIE INTO FERTILITY?
Whether you’re looking to conceive in the future, you’re currently trying to conceive or you’re pregnant, this information can help us create a plan that is specifically tailored to your bodies needs, right now. No blood work is needed to complete this test and it’s accurate. Hair mineral analysis can help with the prevention of degeneration and it can help us identify if there are any digestive issues that need addressing, or if your toxic load is higher than ideal.
What does a Hair Mineral Analysis Appointment Look Like?
A hair mineral analysis can be performed in one of two ways:
- We are already working together and you wish to dig deeper into your mineral and heavy metal load so you choose to run this test through me.
- You are not an existing client and you are interested in running this test through me.
In any case, you can take the hair samples yourself or I can assist you, the choice if yours. Regardless, we will discuss your options over a free discovery call.
