They may be small, but these mighty elements have a big impact on your body.
Mood swings got you snapping at someone for just breathing? Spots popping up everywhere?
Yes, unbalanced hormones could be the culprit, But maybe cut them a little slack—Because when our minerals are out of whack, our body isn’t at its best.
Minerals are what make your body perform properly. Without minerals, the reactions responsible for hormone production, thyroid health, detoxification, digestion, and more can’t, well, react.
So instead, they have to rely on other nutrients, pushing the body to the brink. Boo.
End it (period), with Master Your Minerals.
01
Your health is in your hands...and hair.
Find the root of your issues with hair testing, the most helpful and low-cost way to understand mineral levels.
02
Use your results to dig into your deficiencies and imbalances, then learn how to interpret them once with our easy-to-follow lessons.
03
Once you’ve interpreted them, it’s time to build a plan based on science. Choose from our recommendations, recipes and therapeutic techniques.
01
While hormone testing tells us what our hormone levels are, it’s mineral testing that tell us the why. And when we know the why, we can get to work.
01
We use hair testing over bloodwork because it shows us what’s going on inside the cell. Hair testing also tells us what’s been happening over the course of three months, while bloodwork just gives us a snapshot of the time we tested.
Basically, hair testing examines our minerals with a fine tooth comb.
It can be a little tricky to interpret the results. But that’s a good thing. It means we’re getting a full picture of what’s going on in your body, so we can better treat it. We’ll teach you how to read your data with easy-to-follow training.
Understand how your adrenals (the glands that produce stress hormones and look after major functions in the body) are performing, the level of your minerals like copper and potassium, and what they actually mean.
02
With Master your Minerals, you’ll learn which food and supplements to add to your diet (and which to avoid!).
We’ll take a load off your plate and show you how to…
Dish up nutrient-dense meals
Whip up smoothies
Make your own broth and gummies
Create your own supplements
You’ll also get recommendations for specific health concerns like thyroid, endometriosis, PCOS, pregnancy, reflux, histamine intolerance, and more.
And because we believe that restoring your health is also about your mental as well as physical health, our course also contains a tapping video from EFT expert Theresa Piela to help you self-soothe and look after your mind.
02
So now we know the root of the reason for your issues, it’s time to treat them. This is where we’ll help you build your protocol.
03
Restoring your health is not a race. We’ll help you pace your protocol, so you keep up the momentum.
03
Have nutrition experts by your side every step of the way with our monthly Q&A events, exclusive to course members.
You can also use all that you’ve learned to help your close family too, and get access to hair testing kits through your account.
There are many signs that can point to a mineral deficiency, as minerals are what make our body function properly. To find out if you could be at risk of a mineral deficiency, take our quick mineral imbalance quiz.

Minerals cause all reactions in the body, so hair testing is helpful for anyone on their healing journey struggling with hormone imbalances, hypothyroidism, PCOS, endometriosis and coming off birth control.
Yes, you can still do a hair mineral test if you’re on hormonal birth control.
Yes, you can still do a hair mineral test if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. You’ll need to pay attention to supplement recommendations and what is/isn’t safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
No, you can do a hair test at any time in your cycle, as it shows the last 3 months of information.
A hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) measures the mineral content of the hair. A sample shows what’s going on inside a person’s cell over the last 3 months, like which nutrients are being used up in response to stress or other physiological processes happening inside your body. We can also use a HTMA to learn about our digestion, blood sugar and thyroid.
Bloodwork is not as helpful, as it looks at the activity outside of the cell. It only gives a snapshot of when the sample was taken.
Hair mineral testing requires one hair sample weighing approx 100mg. This is equivalent to one heaped tsp of hair. It is ideal to take the sample from the middle-lower part of your head so you can cover it easily. The hair sample needs to be 1.5” long.
Yes! You can apply for one of our scholarships here. We give 2 scholarships per month and the winners are selected at the end of each month. If you’re one of the winners, you’ll be contacted by the Hormone Healing RD team.
Find out the difference between hormone testing and mineral testing in our ‘Mineral testing vs hormone testing’ blog post.
Yes, you can get lab testing as long as you don’t live in one of the following counties:
Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Brazil, Colombia, Denmark, Ecuador, El Salvador, England, Finland, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Jordan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Korea, Kuwait, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Oman, Papua New Guinea , Poland, Qatar, Scotland, Singapore, South, Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, UAE.
If you live in one of these countries and would like to order a hair mineral test, visit teilab@traceelements.com to find a testing facility near you.
You need to buy the course to purchase a hair test, as a HTMA is not straightforward to interpret. You need to understand how to read your results and know what nutrition, supplement and lifestyle changes to make. You’ll learn all this (and more) in the Master your Minerals course. And, once you’ve signed up for the course once, you’ll also be able to buy as many hair tests as you like in the future.
No, we don’t offer refunds for the course. Once you’ve bought the course, you’ll get instant access to all the content. We do offer refunds for HTMA tests, as long as the hair test is sent back to us.
Minerals are an important part of peri/post menopause, and the results from the hair test will help anyone of any age identify mineral imbalances.
One of the course lessons is all about optimizing health in this season of your life. There is also a session all about thyroid health and how to stop it declining as we get older.
Many post-menopausal women have had great success with the course.
Yes! Lucky them. Visit this link to gift the course.
You can use your HSA/FSA card to purchase the course, but we cannot guarantee that it will be accepted, as each insurance company and plan has different requirements. Our best advice is to try to use your card. If it doesn’t go through, please call the number on the back of your card and see what information they need in order to process the purchase. We cannot guarantee we will be able to provide it (we cannot provide diagnosis codes if we are not working 1:1), but we have had many course students do this with success.
