If your body has been sending signals but the answers haven't been clear, this is a gentle, powerful place to start.
WHAT IT IS & HOW IT WORKS
Using a small sample of new hair growth (cut close to the scalp), this test analyzes the levels and ratios of essential minerals in your body. Why minerals? Because they’re the spark plugs of your endocrine system - the foundation for healthy hormones, energy, metabolism, immune function, and more.
Each gland in your endocrine system relies on specific minerals to operate:
When those minerals are out of balance, the whole system can feel off - sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically. Even well-intentioned supplement routines can make things worse without this kind of insight.
Each gland in your endocrine system relies on specific minerals to operate:
- Thyroid: Iodine
- Thymus: Zinc
- Adrenals: Potassium
- Testes/Ovaries: Manganese
- Parathyroid: Calcium
When those minerals are out of balance, the whole system can feel off - sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically. Even well-intentioned supplement routines can make things worse without this kind of insight.

HAIR ANALYSIS FAQ
Q: Why use hair instead of blood or urine?
Hair provides a longer-term view of mineral patterns - reflecting not just what’s circulating today, but what your body has been storing or depleting over time.
Q: Can I use hair from anywhere on my body?
Head hair is ideal. It grows more consistently and gives the clearest insight into mineral trends.
Q: How long does it take to get results?
About 2–3 weeks from the time your sample is mailed in. Once results are in, you’ll receive a consultation to go over them in detail.
Q: Can this replace other labs or diagnostics?
Not necessarily - but it’s an excellent complement to other forms of care, especially if you’ve been looking for answers that traditional tests haven’t revealed.
