Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) is a lab test that measures minerals and toxic metals in a small hair sample, showing mineral patterns over roughly the last three months. At Allied Healthcare in Westminster, Colorado, HTMA is run by certified health coach and HTMA specialist Elizabeth Lario. The $399 package includes the test kit, lab analysis, a written interpretation and a 60–75 minute results consultation with a personalized plan.

HTMA is a lab test that measures minerals and toxic elements in a small hair sample. It shows mineral patterns over about three months that can relate to energy, metabolism and stress.
HTMA at Allied Healthcare is $399. That includes the test kit and lab analysis, a written interpretation, a discovery call, a virtual intake and a 60–75 minute results consultation.
You cut about a tablespoon of hair close to the scalp at the back of the head, using the kit's instructions, and mail it to the lab. Hair should be clean and dry and at least 3 weeks past any coloring or chemical treatment.
Results usually arrive in about 2 to 3 weeks, and then your results consultation is scheduled.
A blood test shows a single moment, while HTMA reflects mineral patterns over roughly the past three months. The two give different information and can be used together.
You review your results with Elizabeth Lario and receive personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations based on your mineral patterns.
