The HTMA Test

Stop Guessing

Start Understanding What Your Body Is Actually Telling You

“I just have so many random symptoms… I don’t even know where to start.”

Fatigue. Bloating. Anxiety. Poor sleep. Stubborn weight. Hormone shifts. Skin changes. Low energy. Feeling overwhelmed by supplements and still not getting answers.

When symptoms seem unrelated, it’s easy to feel like your body is working against you.

But what often looks “random” is actually connected.

At Thompson Wellness Collective, we look at the body as a system — because symptoms rarely happen in isolation.

  • Fatigue or burnout

  • Anxiety or depression

  • Poor sleep

  • Bloating or digestive issues

  • Hormone imbalances or painful periods

  • Fertility struggles

  • Blood sugar instability

  • Brain fog

  • Hair loss or alopecia

  • Stubborn weight changes

  • Low libido or decreased testosterone

  • High stress or feeling “wired but tired”

  • Hypertension

  • Vision changes

  • Toxic element exposure concerns

do you suffer from

If so, your body may be dealing with deeper mineral imbalances and stress patterns that traditional testing often overlooks.

Why Minerals Matter

Minerals are involved in virtually every process in the body.

Energy production. Hormones. Digestion. Detoxification. Nervous system regulation. Blood sugar balance. Thyroid function.

Everything depends on minerals.

Stress — whether physical, emotional, or metabolic — places even greater demand on these systems. Over time, mineral depletion and chronic stress can create a cascade throughout the body.



It often starts with

  • Sluggish thyroid function

  • Overwhelmed adrenals

  • Blood sugar instability

Which then impacts

  • Digestion and gut health


Which increases stress on


  • The liver & detox pathways

and eventually shows up as

  • Hormone imbalances

  • Period symptoms

  • Fertility challenges

  • Chronic fatigue and burnout

So while it may feel like everything is happening at once, there’s usually a sequence underneath it all.

That’s why chasing symptoms or constantly adding supplements often doesn’t work.

If you don’t address the foundation, you stay stuck in the cycle.

A Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a non-invasive screening test that measures the levels of minerals and toxic elements in a small sample of hair.

But HTMA is much more than a mineral test.

It provides a blueprint of your body’s biochemistry and helps reveal how your body is functioning at the cellular level over the last several months — not just at a single moment in time.

Unlike bloodwork, which measures what’s happening outside the cell, HTMA offers insight into the metabolic patterns happening inside the cells where most biochemical activity actually occurs.

What Is an HTMA Test

  • Bobbie S.

    “HuMAP hormone testing with Dr. Thompson helped answer hormone questions I’d been chasing for years.

    The testing uncovered missing pieces of my health puzzle and connected symptoms I didn’t realize were related. I finally walked away with clarity, direction, that made sense for me.

    The testing is extremely simple to do and received results relatively quickly. Dr. Thompson was able to evaluate the report against my symptoms and provide a plan.”

Benefits of HTMA Testing

  • Provides a long-term view of mineral patterns over approximately 3 months

  • Helps reduce guesswork with supplements and nutrition

  • Identifies underlying stress patterns and metabolic imbalances

  • Supports more personalized treatment recommendations

  • Can identify imbalances before symptoms become more severe

  • Offers a non-invasive, convenient way to assess overall health patterns

At Thompson Wellness Collective, we use HTMA testing to understand the bigger picture — not just manage symptoms.

What’s Involved?

HTMA is simple and convenient:

  • Small hair sample collection

  • No blood draw

  • No invasive procedures

  • No need to stop medications or supplements

You collect your samples at home and send them to the lab. We handle the rest.
