What is a Hair Mineral Analysis?

Hair Mineral Analysis is a non-invasive screening test that measures the nutrient and toxic metal content of your hair.


Because hair accumulates minerals over time, it provides a "reading" of cellular activity and nutrient metabolism over the past 1–3 months, unlike blood which gives a snapshot of a single moment.

Why take this test?

Minerals catalyse every physiological function in the body.


This test is vital for detecting heavy metal toxicity from pollution or chemicals, which can deposit in tissues and cause developmental or neurological damage. It is often used to investigate

Fatigue, lethargy, and brain fog

Digestive complaints and weight loss resistance

Mental health disorders and emotional health issues

Musculoskeletal conditions

Cardiovascular health

What does it measure?

The Level 2 analysis covers a wide range of elements:

Toxic Metals: Including Mercury (Hg), Lead (Pb), Arsenic (As), Aluminium (Al), and Cadmium (Cd)

Nutritional Minerals: Including Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc, Copper, Selenium, and Iodine.


You feel exhausted and burned out, but your blood tests say you are "fine."

It is incredibly frustrating to feel like you are running on empty, only to be told there is "nothing wrong" with you. The issue is that blood tests are designed to keep you alive in the moment. Your body will actually rob minerals from your tissues and bones just to keep your blood levels stable. This means your blood work can look perfect while your cells are essentially starving.


Hair Mineral Analysis offers a look at your long-term health history.


While blood tests give us a snapshot of a single moment, hair analysis gives us a video recording of the last 3 to 4 months. Hair is a storage tissue. It reveals exactly what your body is holding onto and what it is throwing away. We can see the hidden patterns of stress, the mineral imbalances driving your fatigue, and the heavy metals that are silently blocking your energy production.


As your Naturopath, I use this data to build a roadmap for your recovery. I don't just look at the levels. I look at the relationships between them. I look at your "Vitality Ratio" to see if your adrenals are crashed or your "Thyroid Ratio" to see if your metabolism is slowing down. We turn this data into a precise protocol to detoxify your body and recharge your battery safely.

See The Movie, Not Just a Still


Blood tests strive for homeostasis, meaning they change minute-by-minute to keep you alive.


They are a snapshot. Hair analysis is a "video recording" of the last 3 to 4 months. It reveals the chronic patterns of stress and mineral depletion that a single blood draw simply cannot capture.

Uncover Hidden Toxicity


Heavy metals like Mercury, Lead, and Aluminum are invisible energy vampires.


They displace healthy minerals in your cells, causing brain fog, fatigue, and mood issues. We identify exactly which toxic metals are burdening your system so we can safely and gently chelate (remove) them.

Reveal Your Burnout Pattern


Do you feel "tired but wired"?


This is often due to a specific imbalance in your Sodium/Potassium ratio (the "vitality ratio"). We map your stress response to see if your adrenals are in an acute alarm stage or an exhaustion stage, allowing us to pick the right herbs to rebuild your battery.

Unlock Your Metabolic Rate


Are you a "Fast Oxidiser" burning through nutrients too quickly, or a "Slow Oxidiser" struggling to create energy?


Knowing your unique metabolic type is the key to weight management and energy. We use this data to tailor your diet—telling you exactly how much protein and carbs your specific body type needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • My doctor said blood tests are better. Why do I need a hair test?

    Blood tests and hair tests measure two completely different things. 


    Blood is a transport medium. The body works very hard to keep blood levels stable (homeostasis) to keep you alive. This means your blood can look "perfect" even while your tissues are depleting minerals to maintain those levels. 


    Hair analysis is a tissue biopsy. It shows us the storage levels inside your cells over the last 3 to 4 months. It reveals the chronic imbalances that blood tests often miss.

  • I already take Magnesium and Zinc. Won't my levels be fine?

    Not necessarily. 


    Taking supplements does not always mean your cells are absorbing them. In fact, taking the wrong form of a mineral can sometimes upset the balance of others. For example, taking too much Zinc can deplete Copper. 


    Hair analysis removes the guesswork. It tells us exactly which minerals are getting into your cells and which ones are being blocked or wasted.

  • Will this test tell me if I have heavy metal poisoning?

    It is one of the best tools for detecting chronic exposure to toxic metals like Mercury, Lead, Arsenic, and Aluminum. 


    Blood tests usually only pick up acute (recent) poisoning. Hair analysis shows us what has been accumulating in your tissues over time.


    This is often the "smoking gun" for clients suffering from unexplained brain fog, fatigue, or hormonal disruption

  • What happens if we find high levels of toxic metals?

    Don't panic. 


    Finding them is the first step to removing them. 


    I use a gentle, safe protocol to support your body's natural detoxification pathways. We do not force metals out aggressively which can make you feel worse. 


    Instead, we rebalance your minerals to naturally displace the toxins and support your liver and gut to clear them safely.

  • Can I do this test if I dye or bleach my hair?

    Hair dyes and treatments can contaminate the sample and skew the results, particularly for metals like aluminium or lead. 


    Ideally, we need 3 to 4 cm of untreated hair growth near the scalp. 


    If you are not able to grow your hair out, we can use pubic hair or underarm hair as accurate alternatives. 


    We will discuss the best option for you during our initial consultation to ensure we get valid data.

  • Is it painful? How much hair do you need?

    It is completely painless. We only need a small amount of hair, about one heaping teaspoon.


    We cut small samples from different spots on the back of the head close to the scalp so it is cosmetically invisible. 


    You can do this easily at home with a partner or friend to help you.

  • How often should I re-test?

    Since hair grows about 1 cm per month, a re-test is usually recommended every 3 to 4 months. 


    This allows us to see how your body has responded to the protocol. It is incredibly motivating to see the toxic metal levels drop and your "vitality ratio" improve on paper as your energy returns in real life.

Next Steps

1. Book Your Initial Consultation

We sit down in-person (or meet via Telehealth) for a deep dive into your health history. I don't do 15-minute rush jobs.


I listen to your full story, your family's needs, and any symptoms that you

2. Complete The Hair Analysis

I send a functional testing kit directly to your door.


All it takes is a small hair sample. We use this to map your mineral reserves and heavy metal toxicity over the last 3 to 4 months, revealing the chronic stress patterns that standard blood work misses.

3. Custom Protocol & Detox

We review your results and I build a tailored protocol of specific minerals and nutrients to safely remove heavy metals and restore your ratios.


You walk away with a clear path to fix your burnout, clear the brain fog, and build sustainable energy.
