Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
If you've been tired for longer than you'd like to admit, your minerals are usually the place to start.
Â
Most of the women I work with have already tried the obvious things — cleaner eating, more sleep, less caffeine, a supplement or two. Some progress, but the underlying depletion doesn't really shift.
Â
Blood tests can only show us what's circulating on the day of the draw. A hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) shows us something different: how your cells have been using and holding onto minerals over the last three to four months. It's a longer, more honest view of your terrain — and it's the foundation I use to make sure we work with your body, not against it.
This is for you if…
- You feel tired in a way that sleep doesn't quite fix
- You're cold more often than you used to be
- Your cycle is irregular, light, or hasn't felt right for a while
- You've been told your bloods are "fine" but you know something is off
- You've been plant-based, under-eating, or over-exercising for years and are starting to feel the cost
- You want to prepare your body properly before trying to conceive
- You want real answers — not another supplement regime

Common questions
Do I need a doctor's referral?
No. HTMA is a wellness test, not a medical one. You can order it directly through me.
How long until I get my results?
Around three to four weeks from the point your sample reaches the laboratory.
Is this a replacement for blood tests?
No. HTMA sits alongside blood work. Blood shows you what's circulating right now; hair shows what's been going on in your tissues over the past few months. They answer different questions.
Will you recommend supplements?
Only where they're genuinely needed. My first line is always food, sleep, stress and the everyday basics. If a specific mineral or support is called for, I'll tell you why and what to look for.
Do I need to be in the UK?
The test kit is posted within the UK. If you're outside the UK, email me at adina@blissfulwoman.co.uk and we'll work out the logistics.
What if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
HTMA is safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. In fact, it can be particularly useful if you're planning another pregnancy or recovering from one.
