Blood is regulated minute to minute. It will look normal long after things have stopped being normal. Hair holds roughly three months of what your body has actually been doing with minerals.
Analyzed by Trace Elements, Inc., a federally licensed clinical laboratory in Texas. Read by me.
All three include Trace Elements Profile 1: 36 elements, a two page bar graph report with levels and ratios, the collection kit and a prepaid return envelope. Results are emailed to you as a PDF, and your data is yours to take anywhere.
| Package | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
Profile 1, results only | $125 | The report |
Most chosen Profile 1 + 60 minute consultation | $275 | The test plus an hour with me to make sense of it |
Profile 1 + Trace Elements report | $245 | The laboratory's written interpretation |
$275, most chosen. Sixty minutes on video with me, every mineral, ratio and toxic element read through the Root Cause Protocol. You leave understanding your own numbers.
$245. Trace Elements writes the report: a metabolic type, your patterns, and dietary and supplement recommendations from traditional mineral balancing. Copper is where that school and I part: the report reads high hair copper as accumulation and reaches for zinc, and I read it as copper sitting idle, which asks for something else.
Prices are in US dollars and include the laboratory fee. Retesting is available at the same rates.
$350
A full Mineral Balancing consultation: ninety minutes on your blood and hair together, and the session that ends with recommendations. Book it after your reading. The lab testing page has the blood panel it runs on.
Trace Elements does not wash your hair sample before analysis. Washing strips loosely bound minerals and can cut some readings by half.
No. Nothing needs a prescription or a signature.
Who does the reading: me, live, for an hour at $275, or the laboratory, in writing, at $245.
Yes. Order the $275 package and ask for the laboratory's report at checkout.
Yes, in most cases. Henna and Grecian Formula contain metals and invalidate the test, and bleach distorts calcium, so use hair grown since your last treatment.
About a tablespoon from the back of the head, the first inch and a half of growth.
Body hair can be used, on its own reference ranges. Tell me when you order.
Testing is useful here, since pregnancy and nursing draw down a mother's stored minerals. Afterwards I support the body and leave anything that moves metals until nursing has finished.
Two to four weeks from the day the lab receives your sample, plus mailing.
Yes, three to six months on. Bring your previous lab number so the two can be compared.
Often yes, when the laboratory follows the same protocols. Email hello@mineralshaman.com and I will tell you.
Within about a month of your results. Mineral patterns move.
