What is HTMA?
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a laboratory test that measures mineral and elemental levels in a small hair sample. At Integrative Thoughts, Matthew Coffman uses HTMA results to build educational mineral-balancing programs and written plans. Content is educational and is not medical advice.
How does the Integrative Thoughts HTMA process work?
Order a kit or package → collect a hair sample with the instructions → the sample is processed at Analytical Research Labs (ARL) → you receive your mineral profile and a written plan for next steps. Virtual consult options are available on select packages.
Is HTMA the same as a blood mineral test?
No. HTMA and blood tests sample different tissues and answer different questions. HTMA looks at minerals and elements in hair; blood mineral panels measure circulating levels. Many people use them as complementary inputs under practitioner guidance — neither replaces medical care.
Who is this for?
People exploring mineral balance, stress adaptation patterns, and educational HTMA programs with Matthew. It is not a substitute for diagnosis or treatment by a licensed clinician
