If you’ve ever opened your supplement drawer and thought “I don’t even know if these are doing anything…”—you’re not alone.


Over the past few months, I’ve had countless clients share how overwhelmed they feel about supplementation.They want to improve their PCOS symptoms, support their hormones, and prepare for pregnancy—but they’re unsure:

  • What should I be taking?

  • Is this working?

  • Am I wasting money?


And I get it. You don’t want to throw hundreds of dollars at supplements that may or may not be moving the needle.That’s why I’ve started offering Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)—because it takes the guesswork out of supplementation and gives us real, usable data to work with.



What Is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)?


HTMA is a non-invasive, functional pathology test that uses a small sample of your hair to measure your body’s mineral levels and toxic metal burden.


Why hair? Unlike blood, which can fluctuate day to day, your hair gives us a long-term view of how your body is storing and using essential nutrients—like magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, zinc, and more.


It also reveals the presence of toxic elements like mercury, aluminium, and lead—compounds that are known to disrupt hormone function, fertility, and metabolism.



Why Mineral Balance Matters for Hormones & PCOS

Minerals are like the spark plugs of the body. They’re tiny, but they’re responsible for so much:

✔️ Energy production

✔️ Hormone synthesis

✔️ Nervous system regulation

✔️ Detoxification

✔️ Blood sugar regulation

✔️ Ovulation and cycle regularity


When even one mineral is out of balance—say magnesium or zinc—it can create a ripple effect across your entire hormonal system.


This is especially important for women with PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, or those trying to conceive. Your hormones don’t operate in isolation—they’re deeply influenced by stress, nutrient stores, inflammation, and your body’s ability to detox.



Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis for Hormonal Imbalance and Preconception Support


I wanted to repeat this phrase because it’s the heart of today’s post: Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis for Hormonal Imbalance and Preconception Support.


Whether you’re dealing with PCOS, struggling with irregular cycles, or preparing your body for pregnancy—HTMA gives us a clear roadmap to follow.


Instead of guessing what’s wrong or throwing generic supplements at symptoms, we get to see:

  • Which minerals are depleted or in excess

  • Whether your body is in a state of stress or adrenal fatigue

  • How well you're metabolising nutrients

  • If there are toxic elements interfering with your hormonal pathways



Who Can Benefit from HTMA?


This test is incredibly versatile and beneficial for so many people, but especially:

👧 Children – For immune support, behavioural or learning difficulties, and recurrent illness

🤰 Women trying to conceive – To identify hidden nutrient gaps that impact egg quality and hormone balance

🌙 Women with PCOS or hormonal issues – To understand why periods are irregular, moods fluctuate, or symptoms persist

🏋️ Athletes & high-performers – To optimise recovery, energy output, and stress tolerance

🧠 Women with fatigue, brain fog, or burnout – To assess adrenal health and stress response



What Does the HTMA Process Look Like?


It’s simple, non-invasive, and incredibly insightful:

1️⃣ Initial Consultation – We deep dive into your symptoms, goals, health history, and determine if HTMA is the right fit.

2️⃣ Hair Sample Collection – Just a small amount from the back of your head is sent to a trusted pathology lab.

3️⃣ Lab Analysis – Your sample is tested for 35+ minerals and 25+ ratios.

4️⃣ Follow-Up Consultation – We go through your results, identify trends, and build your protocol—nutrition, lifestyle, and tailored supplement guidance.


And because this test picks up on trends that blood tests often miss, we’re able to make more informed and targeted recommendations.
