HAIR TISSUE MINERAL ANALYSIS
Still exhausted, foggy, stressed—or simply not feeling like yourself?
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, or HTMA, is a simple at-home hair-sample test that measures selected mineral and toxic-element patterns. At Restore, your report is reviewed alongside your symptoms, health history, lifestyle and relevant laboratory findings—so you receive context, not another unexplained test result.
✓ Mineral pattern context ✓ Toxic-element screening ✓ Practical next steps
A BETTER FIRST STEP
Before you try another supplement, detox, diet or wellness plan, get more context.
Many people reach Restore after cycling through generic supplements and wellness programs while fatigue, poor sleep, brain fog, digestive concerns, skin changes, slow recovery, mood shifts or hair loss continue. The problem is not always a lack of effort. It is often a lack of useful context.
✓ Useful when symptoms persist and standard answers feel incomplete.
✓ Helps organize selected mineral and toxic-element patterns that may deserve attention.
✓ Reviewed in relation to your health history, nutrition, lifestyle, symptoms and existing test results.
✓ Designed to support a more focused next step—not create another one-size-fits-all protocol.
The goal is not to make every symptom fit the HTMA report.
The goal is to understand what the report may add to the bigger picture and what still needs to be confirmed.
WHO IS THIS FOR
When your symptoms do not fit neatly into one box.
HTMA may be worth considering when you want a broader view of patterns that could be relevant to how you feel, how you recover and how your body is functioning over time.
Low energy or fatigue
Persistent tiredness, low stamina, burnout or feeling depleted despite rest.
Sleep and recovery
Trouble settling, waking unrefreshed, poor recovery or inconsistent sleep quality.
Focus, stress and mood
Brain fog, irritability, feeling overwhelmed or difficulty concentrating.
Digestive concerns
Bloating, irregularity, food sensitivity concerns or changing appetite.
Skin, nails and hair
Dryness, breakage, skin changes, shedding, thinning or slow hair growth.
Muscle function
Cramps, weakness, reduced exercise tolerance or slower-than-expected recovery.
Supplement confusion
Taking multiple products without knowing what is necessary, useful or appropriate.
Proactive wellness
Wanting a structured baseline and more informed questions for your care team.
WHAT HTMA IS
A longer-term tissue snapshot—not a diagnosis or a verdict.
HTMA measures selected minerals and toxic elements present in a small sample of hair. Because hair grows over time, the report can offer a different perspective from a single point-in-time blood draw. It may help organize patterns related to mineral balance, exposure history and areas that deserve further investigation.
✓ Simple at-home hair-sample collection.
✓ Laboratory report showing selected mineral and toxic-element levels and ratios.
✓ Guided review to separate potentially useful findings from noise or overinterpretation.
✓ Next-step priorities based on your overall case—not the report in isolation.
A result outside a laboratory reference range does not automatically prove a deficiency, toxicity or medical condition. Collection quality, hair treatment, environment and other factors can affect the sample.
HOW IT WORKS
Simple enough to start at home. Guided enough to make sense.
From determining fit to interpreting results, the process is designed to keep you informed about what is happening, why it matters and what should happen next.

BALANCE GUIDANCE
What HTMA can help clarify—and what it cannot do alone.
Wellness testing is frequently oversold. Restore uses HTMA as one source of information within a broader decision-making process, not as proof that one result explains every symptom.
✓ HTMA is not a medical diagnosis.
✓ HTMA does not replace medical care, bloodwork, urine testing, or scalp analysis.
✓ Hair products, dye, water, environment, and sample collection can affect results.
✓ Significant toxic-element findings may require follow-up testing or medical referral.
WHY RESTORE
You are not just buying a report. You are getting interpretation in context.
A laboratory report can create more confusion when every flagged result is treated as a diagnosis or a reason to buy supplements. Restore takes an assessment-first approach: understand your symptoms and history, review the data carefully, identify what may be meaningful and recognize what needs confirmation elsewhere.
“The test may provide data. The interpretation is what makes it useful.”
✓ No automatic supplement bundle based on a report alone.
✓ Interpretation alongside symptoms, timeline, lifestyle and available testing.
✓ Clear separation between useful context and unsupported conclusions.
✓ Referral for bloodwork, medical assessment or other testing when appropriate.
✓ Hair and scalp expertise available when shedding or thinning is part of the picture.
HAIR & SCALP CONTEXT
If your concern is hair loss, HTMA should support the investigation — not replace it.
Hair shedding and thinning can involve pattern hair loss, telogen shedding, scalp inflammation, nutrition, hormones, medications, stress, and treatment history. HTMA can be useful, but it is only one piece of the full picture.
✓ We assess pattern, timeline, density, scalp health, and shedding history.
✓ We consider common triggers such as ferritin, vitamin D, thyroid, stress, and medications where relevant.
✓ We help you decide whether HTMA, scalp analysis, bloodwork, or another next step makes the most sense.
WHOLE-PERSON CONTEXT
Your body does not separate symptoms into marketing categories.
Energy, sleep, digestion, mood, skin, hair, hormones, nutrition, medications, stress and environment can overlap. That does not mean one test can explain everything. It means your symptoms deserve to be reviewed together before isolated findings become a treatment plan.
✓ Map your symptoms, timeline and meaningful changes.
✓ Review diet, supplements, medications and exposure history.
✓ Consider existing bloodwork and areas that may require medical evaluation.
✓ Use HTMA as one lens within a broader health and wellness investigation.
Prioritize the next best action instead of trying everything at once.
Where hair loss fits: shedding or thinning can be one outward sign among many. When hair is a concern, Restore can also assess pattern, scalp health, timeline and treatment history rather than expecting HTMA to answer the hair-loss question by itself.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER RESULTS
Leave with priorities—not a pile of supplements or pages of unexplained numbers.
Your results review is designed to clarify what appears most relevant, what may need confirmation and which changes are realistic enough to sustain.
Understand the report
Review notable mineral and toxic-element patterns without treating every flag as a diagnosis.
Connect the context
Compare findings with your symptoms, history, lifestyle, supplements and available laboratory information.
Prioritize next steps
Identify which changes, testing questions, referrals or assessments deserve attention first.
Use food-first strategies
Where appropriate, begin with practical nutrition and lifestyle actions rather than assuming more products are always better.
Use supplements selectively
Targeted supplementation may be discussed when the overall context supports it—not as an automatic response to one result.
Escalate appropriately
Potentially significant findings or persistent symptoms may require confirmatory testing and review by a physician or other regulated provider.
Our promise: no guessing and no pressure
If the findings do not support a recommendation, we will not force it. If HTMA is not the most useful next step—or another professional should be involved—we will tell you.

Important: This page provides educational information and wellness-support options.

New, severe, rapidly worsening or concerning symptoms should be assessed medically. Results may require confirmation with blood, urine or other clinically appropriate testing.
